| Mazda MX-5 Miata Special Edition - The Essence of Classic British Roadsters |
Powered by the 167-hp, 2.0-liter 4-cylinder that teams up with the 5 or 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic, anyone can choose either a softtop or perhaps a power-retractable hardtop model. With wonderful steering and brakes-and tail-happy cornering skills-it is a driver’s dream. For real driving bliss, look no further than typically the Miata-and you will need only 1 change behind the wheel to find out why. All of us can not wait for the next generation, coming in 2015. MX-5 Miata looks to be better still than the existing version.

Mazda MX-5 Miata Review
The MX-5 typically has appealed to higher income households as its buy reason is't since the practical day-to-day driver but as any additional "fun" car, like for those extended, winding road-hunting week-ends. In the beginning available in 3 trim levels, Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring. The Special Edition is based off from a fully-equipped Grand Touring model but is just available with the industry-leading, simple-to-use PRHT (Power Retractable Hard Top).
Famous in both warm and also winter climates, PRHT models proceed from rain-deflector to sun-worshipper on Twelve secs -- with trunk space to start -- and even outsell soft tops 4:1 globally. In USA, there is also no lack of interest for premium accessories seeing that 70% of Grand Touring models sold are PRHT-equipped, of which 50 % are optioned with the Premium Package. The Premium Package is standard on the Special Edition and includes a Bluetooth® hands-free phone system, SIRIUS® Satellite Radio with a 6-month complimentary subscription, Xenon headlights, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) with a Traction Control System (TCS), an anti-theft alarm and the Mazda Advanced Keyless Entry and Start System.
This is no secret that on any given week end more Mazdas and Mazda-powered vehicles are road-raced than some other brand. Performance and tuning are dynamically designed in to every Mazda and the MX-5 Miata Special Edition retains its sports car soul but with a few niceties not meant for the bumper-to-bumper like taps from the track.
Mazda MX-5 Miata Special Edition Suspension
The Suspension Package, optional on Touring and Grand Touring models, is made standard with the Special Edition and includes Bilstein® shocks, a limited slip differential (LSD) and a sport-tuned suspension. Both the 6-speed manual transmission along with short-throw shifter and 6-speed Sport automatic with steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters are available have fun with the 167-horsepower, 140 lb-ft of torque 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine (158 horsepower with the 6AT). At only 2,593 pounds (2,619 pounds for the 6AT), the MX-5's almost 50:50 weight distribution, in addition to its track-proven suspension and responsive power, mean the rear-wheel drive sports car is really a lightweight only in terms of size, not road ability.
