2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata Performance Features

The Mazda Miata has long been one of the best-selling models in the Mazda family – and for good reason! It’s a gorgeous sports car that makes any drive more fun. But the car is not all good looks and a powerhouse engine (it’s not even among the strongest or the fastest) – the Mazda Miata offers an experience unlike any other, and it continues to do that year after year. Here are just a few of the reasons why so many people love the Mazda Miata – and why we think it’s the best sports car out there for the money: Classic Style Sports cars seem to get more and more outrageous in their styling in their attempt to one-up the competition year after year. The Mazda Miata has maintained its style over the years – one that is descended from classic roadsters of the 1960s. When you look at the Miata, you’ll see traces of classics like the Alfa Romeo and the Lotus Elan. But the Miata still stands on its own, with a unique style that holds up year after year. Phenomenal Performance The Mazda Miata isn’t the fastest or the most powerful car out there – the horsepower doesn’t even top 200. But the Miata is finely calibrated for a thrilling ride. The small, low-to-the-ground profile ensures that you feel every bit of your ride. You’ll feel those turns more acutely when you take them, and every rumble of the road will make you feel just how fast you’re going. Seated so close to the windshield, you’ll almost feel like you’re flying when you really get going. Most Miatas are outfitted with a manual transmission that has precise shifting and short gears. You’ll love the way the car shifts, which will add to the spirited nature of your drive. Additionally, the engine is designed to push power to the rear wheels as you drive, so you’ll feel a seamless weight distribution for perfect balance and fast response as you tear down the road. Flexibility Mazda has been making the Miata for a few decades now, and it has continued to improve upon its design while also offering a range of variants to give people just want they want in their model. The years have seen the Miata offer hard and soft tops, convenience features like heated seats and automatic climate control, and improved mechanics like Bilstein shocks or a limited slip differential. By shopping for previously owned Miatas, you can find the perfect combination of model year, trim level, and options to get the ideal configuration. Seacoast Mazda has a large variety of new and previous owned Mazdas, including the much-loved Miata. Visit us today to take a test drive of the Miata to find out what this fun sports car has to offer and why so many people have become its devoted fan over the years.

Mazda is celebrating 100 years of creating exceptional automobiles this year, and to mark the occasion, it is producing an updated version of its first production car: The R360 Coupe.

It’s a gorgeous sports car for any enthusiast, but an especially sweet buy for lovers of the retro Mazda. Exterior and Interior Styling Right away, you’ll notice the similarities between the 2020 MX-5 Miata and the R360 Coupe.
