2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata

The 2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata is a two seat car that not only competes with some of the other cars on the market, but it also is a blast to drive. It’s been called an automotive icon in the world, and it is. The Mazda line of cars has been around for over 30 years, and it is made for sunny day drives through the city. Plus, you can find this sports car for a very affordable price!

With all that the 2021 Mazda gives you, there’s a lot to unpack about this car model! Let’s get started with looking at what it can do for you on the road.

What’s New In 2021?

Mazda has been around for several years, and it’s improved its cars every single time. The 2021 model comes with Standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the Apple CarPlay is wireless while the Android Auto still needs to be wired. This is the case across all trim levels. Aside from the sound system, it is also cheaper than its 2020 counterpart by $250.

If you want one of the only Mazda models with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, and see yourself using the applications for your sound, then the 2021 model is good for that. However, if you are only going to use your standard radio, it becomes a lot less desirable.

The only other new feature is a white nappa leather upholstery option that goes nicely with the exterior, although it is only a cosmetic change. If you want these changes and also want a new way to play some music, then the 2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata is the way to go.

Looking At The 2021 Model

The 2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata is designed to be an extension of you as you drive it down the road. It has a curb weight of under 2,400 pounds, and that translates into a beautiful and smooth drive thanks to the power to weight ratio. It almost doesn’t feel like you are driving the car, but rather that the car is one with you, and that’s a very unique experience to have as you drive.

The car also has a perfect 50/50 weight distribution, being designed perfectly with the driver in mind. It was designed to be easy to drive and well balanced on the road, so you don’t have to worry about fighting the car for control or ever feeling like you are out of control.

Finally, the car is very elegant and simple. It’s not stuffed to the hubcaps with full features and it doesn’t pull your eyes in a million different directions. Instead it is a simple and alluring car that is very nice to look at, where every single detail has been placed attentively.

Going Under The Hood

You can easily shift into a manual gear and rev the powerful engine of the Mazda, or just allow the automatic to do its thing. No matter what you choose, you will be able to get from zero to 60 mph in under six seconds, but the speed doesn’t impact how it handles. Even on bumpy terrain, the car rides very firmly and the handling is very eager.

Steering the 2021 Mazda is something that almost feels ethereal. The light and tactile steering means that the car will respond immediately to your movements, and you will always get a sense of what your front tires are doing in the car. It’s very fun to just drive this car and watch as everything effortlessly responds to you. Plus, the sound inside of the cabin really makes you feel like you are driving a great car.

It can maintain its speed even on a curvy road, and while it can become bouncy on very uneven pavement you should keep an eye out. Driving hard can be a problem and lead to some fatigue if you are constantly working against the car, so plan your routes accordingly.

The car also has a 2.0 liter engine and does great with fuel efficiency. It rides well and you’ll be able to get a lot of mileage out of it before needing to stop for gas. It also comes with a manual 6-speed transmission! Who doesn’t like that? It runs lean and runs fast!

The Exterior Of The Car

The 2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata has a minimalistic exterior to it, and it has been designed to be easy on the eyes. Not only is the car sleek and easy to handle on the road, but it also looks sleek as well. It has all extra features taken away until you are left with just a car, a car that looks wonderful and wouldn’t be out of place at a show.

It really proves that ‘good things come in small packages’ and comes with curves, a long front nose, and comes with 16 inch aluminium alloy wheels. Whether you get the car in blue or red, it will look amazing for you. Especially if you pair it with the specially designed interior.

The Interior Of The Car

This car is small and a little cozy, sitting two people. It is just as minimalist on the inside as it is on the outside. The interior is sparse and everything looks almost businesslike, with a steering wheel, pedals, and shifters that all have priority inside of the car.

You can get the interior in either black or white upholstery, and which color of upholstery you pick will be dependent on the outside of your car. We’ve found that the white looks even better with the sky blue exterior, and the black looks even better with the red. Once you find your personal preference, then use it to make the car look even better!

You do have a few storage cubbies and a small trunk for storage, and if you pack correctly and tightly you can store a lot in the car. However, it isn’t designed for day trips or backpacking excursions. This is a car where you go for a simple drive without a lot of possessions, and enjoy the trip when you do!

What Technology Are You Offered?

Like most modern cars, you have access to a touchscreen entertainment system that can be controlled by touching the screen or by twisting a knob. The system comes with a CD player, and bluetooth connectivity which allows you to stream music and podcasts right from your phone. You also have compatibility with an HD radio as well, and an up to date navigation system.

The two newest pieces of technology in the 2021 Mazda are Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. With Carplay, you will be able to start your car with a tap of your Iphone, make calls in your car, use Maps, and of course play music from your Itunes account. Android Auto allows you to do the same thing with your Android device.

If you like the idea of having your phone and your car being connected, then this feature will be a welcome one for you.

Summary

The Mazda MX-5 Miata is a very nice car for a certain type of person. If you can handle a lack of storage space and a smaller car, then this car is perfect for you. It might not be the car that you take camping or off-roading, but it can be the type of car that you use the next time you need to make a quick run to the office. With its elegant design and sleek features, you will certainly make everyone else jealous!

The car comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a savings of $250 dollars when compared to the 2020 model. If you are looking for those features in the car, you should purchase the 2021 model. If you are okay with not having these features, you can stick with the 2020 model or another model.
