The Miata MX-5 gets more power than ever for a one-of-a-kind experience behind the wheel. The Miata now brings higher RPMs, higher horsepower, and more torque. The car comes with a manual or automatic transmission, so you can make your driving experience as personalized as you would like.
The Mazda MX-5 Miata has been around for nearly three decades. Standard procedure and engine changes now bring the car to a total of 181 horsepower, up 26 from the previous year, and 151 pound-feet of torque. Redlining at 7500 RPMs, the car revs higher than any Miata before, with prompt throttle response and peak torque at 4000 RPMs.
The Handling
The Miata allows the driver to immerse themselves into the experience with predictable, progressive behavior. It offers a balanced, poised, and playful chassis. The suspension is not new this year, but it remains at a durable consistency as delivered in 2017 when it received some change. The Miata has a telescoping steering wheel to give taller drivers an easier reach. It only weighs 2,345 pounds and remains light, enabling it to reach maximum speed easily and quickly. Steering is described as delightfully sharp by TheDrive.

All the Pros
