Best Sports Car for the Money: Mazda MX-5 Miata This photo provided by Mazda North America Operations shows the exterior front and side view of the new 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata. Twenty-six years after the debut of the first Miata, Mazda is introducing the fourth generation of the popular soft-top convertible. The new MX-5 hints at Mazda’s “soul of motion” design language, with its long hood, flowing sides and large wheels pushed out to the edges, even as it keeps the playful, classic look of the original.

WASHINGTON — Honda picked up six awards — including for the best compact car in the 2016 U.S. News Best Cars for the Money awards.

“Honda continues to impress reviewers with the quality and design of nearly all of their products,” says Jamie Page Deaton, managing editor of U.S. News Best Cars.

“No matter what kind of car someone is looking for, a Honda is almost always a good choice.”

Honda’s luxury division, Acura, won two awards.

Chevrolet and Toyota each won three awards.

Other highlights include the best luxury two-row SUV category, in which the Lexus RX’s seven-year winning streak was broken by the Lincoln MKX.

The awards are determined by combining scores for quality, defined as a vehicle’s score in the U.S. News rankings at the time of the awards; and value, defined as a combination of the vehicle’s five-year cost of ownership and the average price paid for it.

Some of the highlights:
