Seven Alternatives Offer More Cargo Space Than the Mazda MX-5

While the Mazda MX-5 remains a budget-friendly sports car icon, its limited cargo space is a significant drawback. Seven other two-door coupes and convertibles offer superior practicality without sacrificing the segment's core appeal. The Toyota GR86 and Honda Prelude provide better storage and fuel efficiency, while the Nissan Z and BMW M2 offer significantly more power. Although most alternatives cost more than the MX-5, they deliver enhanced utility for daily driving.

Prelude's Sharp Handling Can't Make Up for Slow 0-60 Against Civic Hybrid

Car and Driver tests of the 2026 Honda Prelude show a 0–60 of 6.5 seconds and a 15.3-second quarter mile at 90 mph, slightly slower than the Civic Hybrid’s 0–60 in 6.2 seconds and 14.9 seconds. Despite similar powertrains (200 hp, 232 lb-ft) and a lighter Civic, the Prelude’s S+ Shift adds pauses that push 0–60 to 7.3 seconds unless turned off. The Prelude excels in handling (0.97 g) and braking (152 ft) compared with the Civic Si, but there’s no Prelude Si or Type R planned. Overall, it prioritizes chassis feel and driving engagement over straight-line speed.

Honda Prelude Debuts as a Stylish Hybrid Two-Door, But Price Sparks Debate

SlashGear's first drive of the 2026 Honda Prelude highlights a hybrid two-door built on the Civic platform with premium interior and tuned suspension, delivering solid comfort and practicality but a steep price (around $43k–$45k with options) that pits it against more affordable Civic hybrids and pricier rivals like BRZ/GR86 and luxury coupes, limiting its perceived value despite stylish design.
