2015 Mazda Miata

The Mazda Miata is a well-tuned driver’s machine. With sharp steering, tight handling and a comfortable ride, the Mazda delivers miles and miles of smiles. Since its introduction back in 1989, the Miata has been on everybody’s list of best cars for one reason or another. Further, if you’re looking for a brand-new rear drive two-seat convertible with a lower price, you won’t find one anywhere. The Miata is it. Power comes from a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine producing 176 horsepower and 140 ft-lbs of torque. Transmission choices include a five-speed manual and a six-speed automatic. However, if you choose the six-speed automatic you’ll give up nine horsepower.  Fuel economy averages 25 miles per gallon with the manual and 23 with the automatic.
