The sun is out, the roads are clean and dry, and there’s nothing but openness up ahead. Cruising around tight highway turns in a sporty convertible with the top down is the quintessential form of summer driving.Drive with The Top Down This Summer
Don’t you want to be having this much fun? The good news is, driving a beautiful and exciting convertible doesn’t have to cost you a fortune.
The Mazda MX-5, commonly known as the Miata, is a cute, spunky, and smart drive that exudes all the mojo you want from a convertible. The car is gorgeous to look at, and it’s more impressive when you read about all its features.
Muscle Under the Hood
Convertibles must perform, and the Mazda delivers. With 181 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 151 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,000 rpm, every drive will be thrilling. The Skyactiv-G 2.0 L inline 4-cylinder DOHC 16-valve engine gives you responsive handling and a truly smooth drive.
Even for a sports car, the Miata has serious punch.
Lots of Attitude
Convertibles have a vibe about them, especially the MX-5. All thelittle extra details add up and make whoever is in the car feel like they’re driving something special.
The black metallic alloy wheels are sleek. You’ll be excited by the black cloth upholstery with black stitching, and the leather-wrapped shift knob parking brake handle. Premium sound-absorbing seats are available, and when you’re behind the wheel, you’ll feel like you’re in a cockpit.
Of course, that adorable little two-seater itself is all people need to see to feel captivated. Visit your local Mazda dealership to lease a new vehicle or buy a used MX-5.
Balance
Mazda worked on reducing the new MX-5’s weight and distributing it evenly. As a result, the MX-5 has an almost perfect 50-50 balance, so drivers can get the vehicle to respond on the road without making the car do much work.
Smart Features
The MX-5 might be a small car, but it’s big on brains. The MX-5 has Mazda’s Advanced Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert too.
Drivers will receive an automatic alert when there’s a vehicle in their blind spot, making highway driving and city driving simpler and safer. Likewise, drivers will have an easier time reversing out of busy parking lots or even backing out of their own driveway.
Smart Connectivity
The Mazda MX-5 has built-in Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so no matter what kind of smartphone you have, you’ll be able to use it safely while driving. The hands-free, voice-activated system lets drivers make phone calls and send texts and emails securely.
Listen to all your music and use your phone to navigate, too. No wonder the 2020 MX-5 was the Auto123 car of the year.
After probably spending more time indoors lately than you usually do, you’ll have even more fun this summer driving a car that is open to the great outdoors. For a beautiful car that has power, smarts and attitude, the Mazda MX-5 has you covered.
