JDM (Japanese Direct Manufacturers) sports cars are known for their precision engineering and high performance paired with reliability and affordable sticker prices. This is what makes them the most sought-after sports cars for enthusiasts. When two Japanese cars compete with each other, things don’t get any better. The 2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata is the latest model year version of the ever-so-popular entry-level sports car and has been dominating the automobile world for over three decades.
For the 2021 model year, Mazda has upped the ante by offering Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as standard for all the trims. An optional white Nappa leather upholstery is also available for the 2021 MX-5 Miata. But in the entry-level sports car segment, there are some noteworthy competitors, the Toyota GR Supra being one of them. While both the cars have their own unique advantages, the MX-5 Miata stays true to its roots by offering commendable performance figures at an affordable price point.
