Roadster of the Year 2015 - Pictures

The eagerly awaited Mazda MX-5 doesn't disappoint and wins Best Roadster.

<span>The Mazda MX-5, now in its fourth incarnation, is available with two petrol engines; a 1.5-litre and a 2.0-litre.</span>

<span>The 1.5-litre is viewed by Mazda as the purer car and closer to the original MX-5’s ethos.</span>

<span>Top-spec Sport and Sport Nav models get stiffer Bilstein dampers to keep the MX-5 more taut through corners.</span>

<span>Buyers who opt for the 2.0-litre engine also benefit from a front strut brace, bigger brakes and a limited-slip-differential.</span>

<span>The slim LED headlights and gaping front grille give the MX-5 a slightly aggressive character.</span>

<span>The door tops inside the MX-5 are coloured to match the exterior paint, adding a flash of colour to the cabin. Higher spec models feature an ipad-like screen.</span>

The Mazda MX-5 is the 2015 Auto Express Roadster of the Year.
