Adding brake-based Kinematic Posture Control reduces the 2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF Club's body roll enough so the sports car's remaining strengths can truly shine.
The NC Mazda Miata is underappreciated. While its performance specs don't quite keep up with the S2000, its massive price savings make it the clear choice.
The NA Mazda Miata used to be the go-to affordable sports car. It was rear-wheel drive, go-kart handling fun for Honda Civic prices. Not anymore, though.
Rather than ruining the ride with stiff sway bars or going heavy and expensive with active anti-roll bars, Mazda went brake-based with its new Kinematic Posture Control to help the 2022 Miata roll less. Here's how it works.
While both the 2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF and 2022 Subaru BRZ are fun, affordable, approachable rear-wheel-drive sports cars, driving both around Elkhart Lake's Road America showed that one is slightly better at being a track car.
You may have seen a Mazda MX-5 on the road in recent years and thought it looks familiar and you would be correct, at least partially. The Miata has gone through quite an evolution in terms of its name over the years, but it's still a car loved by many.
