2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata

If you want a capable and fun-to-drive sports car but don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for it, the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata will be right up your alley:

• Sport – MSRP from $24,915
• Club – MSRP from $28,600
• Grand Touring – MSRP from $30,065

Pop the hood on the all-new 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata, and you’ll find a surprisingly responsive 2.0L four-cylinder engine that sends out 155 hp and 148 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. The Miata also achieves impressive fuel economy, up to an EPA-estimated 36 mpg highway and 27 mpg city.

And that only scratches the surface of what makes the Mazda MX-5 Miata such a desirable roadster! The rigid suspension tuning and precise steering work on this model give it an impressively engaging and responsive ride quality. On top of that, you’ll have the option of moving up to the Club trim with a manual transmission to get high-performance upgrades like a limited-slip differential and Bilstein shock absorbers. No matter which version you choose, though, you’re guaranteed a level of sporting sophistication that’s tough to match—especially for a vehicle with a starting MSRP under $25K.

In addition to its impressive performance capabilities, the all-new Mazda MX-5 Miata is also offered with an impressive array of desirable features:

• Sport – Even the base Sport trim keeps you connected on the road thanks to standard Bluetooth® phone and audio connectivity. You’ll also get push-button start, power windows and door locks, and a six-speaker stereo system with a USB port and auxiliary input. It comes with 16-inch alloy wheels and features a black soft convertible top.
• Club – You’ll get a number of performance enhancements when you upgrade to the Club trim with the manual transmission, including Bilstein shock absorbers, a limited-slip differential, and a shock-tower brace. This model steps you up to 17-inch wheels and comes with desirable entertainment upgrades like HD Radio, satellite radio, and a nine-speaker Bose® sound system, as well as a 7-inch touchscreen and infotainment system.
• Grand Touring – At the top of the lineup, the Grand Touring trim brings with it a variety of luxury and comfort upgrades, including leather upholstery, heated front seats, a climate control system. You’ll also get a navigation system and a safety package that comes with Lane Departure Warning and Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert.

A roadster convertible in the truest sense of the term, the Mazda MX-5 Miata features room for two passengers in a single row of seats. The trunk is compact, measuring 4.6 cubic feet, but that’s still enough for you to pack up for a little weekend getaway through the winding backcountry roads of South Windsor or Vernon. Simply put, the Mazda MX-5 Miata’s ergonomics make this model easy to navigate for passengers, and you’ll enjoy a significant upgrade in material quality with the most recent generation of this fun, little sports convertible.
