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
.
The engine is a 1.8-associated 126 hp, in the absence of a turbocharger, cylinder pulls to give a push more than adequate from the 2,000 laps. In this regime, is strong enough to move quietly through the city and the suburbs. Ascending ports, is starting at 3,000 rpm when the rate remained quite strong. When attached to a short developmental changes, do not sInside, there is a lockable glove box between the seats, while there are only doors where space network paths to make objects is very small.

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.
