18. Mazda Miata 2nd generation

The Mazda Miata has been a popular since it’s release in 1989. Enthusiasts praise the vehicle due to its low center of gravity and low weight, while at the same time having a moderately powered engine. The second generation Miata was one of the slickest vehicles of the 90’s, taking its styling cues from the Mazda RX-7. The engine was a 1.8 liter capable of outputting 140 horsepower and 116 lb-ft of torque. The Miata had a four-wheel independent suspension and enlarged anti-roll bars at the front and rear. The suspension was able to handle anything the road threw at it, easily damping any road imperfections. The low center of gravity allowed the Miata to navigate sharp turns with relative ease.
