Mazda MX-5 Grand Touring Power Retractable Hard Top

The Mazda MX-5, still popularly known as the Miata, is a convertible sports car that is sleek, capable, well-engineered, delightful, and fun.

The MX-5 comes in one basic configuration: a two-door, two-passenger roadster. Three transmissions are offered, a five-speed manual, a six-speed manual and a six-speed automatic with steering wheel mounted paddle shifters. The automatic isn't as robust as the two manuals, however, so the only engine available, a 2.0-liter, inline four cylinder, comes in two power levels, one rated at 166 horsepower, the other, for the automatic, rated at 158 horsepower. Safety equipment standard across the line comprises dual front airbags with passenger deactivation switch; side impact airbags; and anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution.

The MX-5 largely carries over from 2007 with the addition of a standard tire pressure monitoring system, a driver's seat height adjuster, changes to the tan leather interior and the introduction of a 750 unit Special Edition with unique interior and exterior trimmings.
