The 2012 Mazda MX-5 Miata Hardtop is a two-seater roadster that embodies the spirit of driving pleasure. This fourth generation of the iconic Miata, known internally as the NC, refined the formula of its predecessors while introducing new features and enhancements. The Hardtop trim added a removable hardtop to the standard soft-top convertible, offering additional weather protection and a more coupe-like aesthetic. Powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, the Miata Hardtop delivered 167 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque, paired with either a six-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission. The engine’s responsive nature and the car’s lightweight design resulted in a spirited driving experience with precise handling and agile cornering abilities. The Miata’s compact dimensions and lightweight construction allowed for nimble maneuverability, making it a joy to drive on winding roads and urban streets alike.

The 2012 MX-5 Miata Hardtop combined sporty driving dynamics with a comfortable and practical interior. It featured a well-appointed cabin with supportive bucket seats, a user-friendly dashboard, and a decent amount of storage space. The hardtop further enhanced the car’s comfort by providing a quieter and more insulated ride compared to the soft-top version. While some critics noted the Miata's spartan interior and the lack of advanced technology features compared to its competitors, these were often overshadowed by the car's pure driving enjoyment. The MX-5 Miata Hardtop remained true to its core values of simplicity, affordability, and driving thrills, making it a sought-after choice for enthusiasts looking for a rewarding driving experience.
