TCC’s Bottom Line
Agile handling and a composed ride balance out the 2019 Fiat 124 Spider’s slightly laggy turbo-4 engine. The 2019 Mazda MX-5 keeps the crown of “affordable and fun” with a more potent engine this year. If you value driving fun over pure power, there’s hardly a vehicle more up to the task than the 2019 Toyota 86.
