2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata Sport RWD Manual

Model Highlights

The Miata's 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine can be mated to either a 5-speed manual or 6-speed manual for 167 hp, or a 6-speed sport automatic transmission for 158 hp. Don't be fooled by what seem like small numbers--the MX-5's diminutive size and weight means it's going to be plenty fast. The MX-5 comes in Sport, Touring and Grand Touring trim. On the base Sport trim, the standard features include aluminum wheels, a CD/MP3 stereo that includes an auxiliary audio jack, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, air conditioning and a tire pressure monitoring system. The step up trim, the Touring model includes 17" wheels, aluminum suspension components and an in-dash CD changer. Grand Touring models get leather seat trim. The optional Premium Package includes Bluetooth, electronically stability control, keyless entry and Sirius satellite radio. A high performance suspension package adds a sport-tuned suspension, Bilstein shocks and a limited-slip differential. While all Miatas are convertible, on the Touring and Grand Touring models, a power-retractable hard top is available, ensuring year-round comfort. In case the fun goes a bit awry, front and side-impact airbags are standard on all Miata models. Most other features depend on which Miata you get.
