Facing the ‘roadster’ latest batch of German brands, increasingly large and bulky, the Mazda MX-5 retains the purity of the two-seater: external and internal measures contained, highly pleasurable sensations without the high ceiling and enjoy highway high schools.

With a successful history of more than 20 years as security and path of one million units sold, the Mazda MX-5 retains the purity of the roadster classic, internal and external measures contained and fun at the wheel, making the occupants recall sensations unique tandem of old, yes, looking much more comfort.
Own a car of this type, the first thing is getting used to the initial feeling of being overwhelmed with the roof closed. It is true that tall passengers, as is the case of the undersigned (1.94 meters), more time to acclimatize to the low ceiling clearance and having almost eye level under the windshield, but a few kilometers will be enough to be completely at ease.

With a weight distribution of approximately 50% for each axis and with a really low center of gravity, the Japanese model it overboard in the curves. The speed of reactions, nobility and efficiency presiding performed every turn, checking and, unlike what happens in a compact or an SUV, the front axle is very much alive (because it supports less weight), which allows ultrafast corrections. The rear-wheel drive forces to be vigilant in low-grip conditions, it is always much harder to solve an under steer over steer. However, the standard DSC solve enjoy from the rear. During testing, the stability program was not activated at any time, shows that the MX-5 has a really high-dynamic limit.

The long trips are not to the liking of Nippon. No suspensions for being firm, not be classified as tortuous, but the rumor that enters the cabin, especially from mechanics. Accustomed to modern cars with uppercase comfort in the MX-5 increases the fatigue more quickly by adding km expressways.
The journeys made ​​with the sky for a roof are extremely rewarding, especially if you do not exceed 100 km / h, at which air turbulence are more annoying. After this speed, it is necessary to raise the tone of voice or raise the volume of the audio equipment to keep the loudness of lower speeds.
Whoever thinks that the visibility is particularly low in the two-seater is wrong because, even in city it is expensive to maintain controlled cars and pedestrians
.

This special version Iuka is highly recommended, as the increase of the standard equipment (17 “wheels, metallic paint, etc.) and the inclusion of chrome elements throughout the body are attached to a discount of 3,500 euro, leaving the final price of 25,400 euros.queeze between March and mechanics to keep up in the appropriate regime. The intake obtained, 8.5 l/100 km, is higher than that recorded in other gasoline engines of latest generation. The lever, firm touch and the rest of the Mazda vibrates at idle.

The small utility that Audi reserves for young and urban commercial network reach in early 2012 with a new five-door body, no extra in the choice of four or five seats, with the same external measures that his brother three, 3.95 meters long, and a powerful economic engine technology on demand cylinder -selective former connection cylinders if not needed, which stands out from the wide range of mechanical properties.

The offer consists of mechanical four petrol engines with 86 TFSI, 122, 140 and 185 hp and three diesel TDI yielding 90, 105 and 143 hp, all name brand except the new 1.4 TFSI 140 hp, which provides approved an average consumption of just 4.7 l/100 km with the new technology on demand cylinder, in partial load, you can temporarily disable two of the four-cylinder as in the Audi S8, but in this case the number cylinder is much greater.
