Mazda has wanted to create a true all rounder with its new Miata MX-5 roadster. It is not about beating any fat tired turbocharged, fuel guzzling monster. The latest Miata is more about control, poise and driving comfort. It also has amazing safety features. Some of its amazing equipments and features blind spot detection, emergency braking system, lane departure warning, heated steering grip and heated exterior mirrors, engine immobilizer, cruise control, traction control, tire pressure monitor, trip gauges and Mazda’s Connect Screen infotainment system.

Although the tab-like 7 inch touchscreen mounted on the front dash is highly functional and is easy to use, it also comes with a redundant rotary dial, placed on the central console. Quite a few experts have called it amateurish work from experienced Mazda designers because while shifting the stick, the dial might brush against your hand and change a radio station inadvertently! Though not all the features are available on the 2 lower trims, the Grand Touring gets all the features. It also gets leather seats. The latest Mazda MX-5 has also got an electric assist instead of a hydraulic one. Braking is precise and it takes 158 feet to come to a complete halt from a speed of 70 mph as seen in endurance tests conducted by Car and Driver.

The 2.0 liter engine has an amazing compression ratio of 13.0:1 and a bore by stroke ratio of 83.5mm×91.2mm. If you want a sport suspension, you can get one in the Club variant. It comes with limited-slip differential and Bilstein shocks. What more can a city driver want from their roadster? The base version is also rightly priced at $25,750 while the top end version is available for $32,105. This car is here to stay! For more information, call Cardinale Mazda.
