Mazda MX-5 Miata (NB) - Steering Feel Review

Modern cars talk a big game about steering feel, but this NB Mazda MX-5 quietly shows how it’s really done. In this Steering Feel Review, I take a deep dive into why this older MX-5 still delivers such an engaging driving experience, breaking down steering directness, weighting, feedback and texture when driven hard, and then contrasting that with how it behaves in normal, everyday situations like parking, town driving and motorway cruising. Using my scoring system for both spirited and normal driving, this NB MX-5 ends up setting a surprisingly high benchmark, and it raises an uncomfortable question for modern cars: what did we lose along the way? If you care about steering feel, driver engagement, hydraulic steering and what makes a car genuinely fun to drive, this one’s for you.
