Mazda MX-5

Driving should be a blast. Motoring is there to be enjoyed. And in your Mazda MX-5, heart-racing excitement and wind-in-your-hair exhilaration is all but guaranteed.

The Mazda MX-5 is officially the world's most popular open-top sports car for good reason. It fuses modern design trends with traditional sports car values. Sat at the wheel, you feel a sense of synergy with your car. You're both ready for a great time. And you look the part, too.

The first vehicle to benefit from our progressive 'gram strategy', the Mazda MX-5 has been designed with lightness, agility and responsiveness in mind. Where we've been able to keep the weight down, we've done so. The result is a lightweight sports car, with perfect handling, a nimble chassis and performance to be proud of.

Everything from the cabin wind-control to the placement of the sports seats has been carefully researched and developed with one objective in mind: total driving pleasure.

The rear-wheel drive layout guarantees 50/50 weight distribution, which is perfect for sports car control and adds to the feeling of oneness you have with the car. After all, the mazda MX-5 is meant to look and feel like a classic, proper roadster - you'd expect nothing less from the UK's favourite sports car manufacturer.

The Mazda MX-5 is available with two engine sizes: the 1.8i (126ps) and 2.0i (160ps). Both come with standard 5-speed transmission while a 2.0i Sport is also available, mated to a 6-speed transmission.

The Mazda MX-5 reinvented the two-seater open top lightweight sports car when we introduced the roadster in 1989. Over 800,000 sales and multiple awards later, it's still the car most likely to bring a smile to your face. But don't take out word for it: try it out for yourself.
