2012 MAZDA MX-5

The Mazda MX-5 or MX5 Miata is a two-seater roadster that has been in production since 1989. It is the best-selling roadster of all time, and has won numerous awards for its handling, performance, and value. The MX-5 is known for its lightweight construction, perfect 50/50 weight balance, and responsive handling. It is a car that is designed to be fun to drive, and it excels in that regard. MX-5 is available in two body styles: a soft top convertible and a retractable fastback (RF). The soft top is the more traditional choice, and it offers the most open-air driving experience. The RF has a rigid roof that can be folded down at the touch of a button, and it offers a more coupé-like driving experience. The MX-5 is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 181 horsepower. The engine is available with a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic transmission. MX-5 is a relatively lightweight car, so even the base engine provides plenty of performance.
