When you are driving Mazda MX-5 Miata, you always get a lot of pleasure, even when you get home by traffic jams.
The inside is very convenient for small physique people, but for larger people it will not be very comfortable to sit in seats, which, by the way, has very good support and do not slip in them when you perform sharp maneuvers. It is very easy to manage the radio and other management means. The mechanical cleaning roof works quickly and it weighs only 37 kilograms.
Power Mazda MX-5 Miata
Miata is very powerful for its type of kizov and has 167 horsepower. When you press the gas pedal after the revolutions reached the cut-off, which occurs at 7,000 rpm, the car is felt quite fast. The lever of a six -speed gearbox looks very stylish and looks like the levers that go in the latest models of the Acura brand. In the hand, the handle of the checkpoint is felt even better than in the car Mazda 3 Speed.
The ratio of the distance and gasoline consumption is quite impressive: in the mixed cycle, the consumption turned out to be almost 9 liters per 100 kilometers and this is not calmly driving. Personally, we would prefer Ford Mustang for the price that dealers for the Mazda MX-5 Miata are asking for, but these are completely different cars and MX-5 Miata is more for relaxation, and Mustang is more practical in all matters, and even when buying off Mustang emergency cars will be in higher demand.
Personally, we are more old school fans, preferring a car with a hinged top instead of an automatic extending folding hard roof, which not only adds additional weight to the car, but also creates a tangible increase in cost.
The suspension is configured for some initial inclination that you feel, but as soon as one side is loaded, it remains installed at the same level.
It is possible that the version of Mazdaspeed MX-5 will soon appear and will go with turbocharged and stronger and more sports suspension. Then this car will definitely become in the category of a weekend car.
Management Mazda MX 5 Miata
As we said above, the chassis is not sports enough, but at the same time you will feel even the slightest road defect and let the car not be difficult. But the car is very good at the steering wheel – the management is almost intuitive.
For 167 horsepower, the car turned out surprisingly more powerful than we expected. The weight is experimentally distributed, and the car feels confident and controlled, just when it is on the verge when passing turns at high speed.
Mazda Miata has a very beautiful design. He is pretty, sports and smooth. Inside is simple, but not cheap. The materials are beautiful, and all within the limits of light reach.
