2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata

The 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata brings back the feel of the classic roadster, but with class.  With its shorter wheelbase and lower frame, it dares to defy the giants on the road today.

For every inch they shaved from the wheelbase and frame they gave to the cabin.  It has been redesigned and feels bigger than before due to the seat recline and more headroom.  The steering wheel tilts and the sills are slightly higher, yet the seats are lower by an inch.  Lowering the seat position didn’t hinder the forward visibility.  It remains excellent.

The hood is over an inch lower because the engine is set half an inch farther back and a lower profile oil pan brings the engine down by half an inch.  The tall fender creases make it easy for this roadster to zip across the road.  The 1.5 liter four-cylinder direct injection gasoline engine pumps out 129 hp at 7000 rpm with 111 lb. ft. of torque at 4800 rpm.  Couple that with a wonderful six speed that shifts as easy as it is to drive.  Don’t let the 129 hp fool you.   This baby will hum 0 – 60 to the tune of about seven seconds.  It will come with 17 inch wheels to guide the control arm front suspension and a multilink rear suspension.  This little gem weighs in at around 2200 lbs with much of the chassis made out of aluminum.
