2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Debuts: Photos and Info on the Fourth-Gen Icon! - Car and Driver
Instrumented Test – 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Yet the downsizing has not harmed cabin roominess, which actually seems to have improved from the last MX-5, even if Mazda’s interior measurements don’t show it. While anyone pushing six-and-a-half feet is... The company’s focus on the driver that we lauded in the Mazda 3 has now been implemented in the Miata. Not only does the fourth-generation MX-5 have the most comfortable cockpit of any Miata, it’s also the highest performing. 0-liter four is derived from the base engine in the Mazda 3 , but adapting it for the Miata has changed its character. A lighter flywheel and tuning for premium gasoline (recommended but not required) make it quicker to rev with improved throttle response, which means the new MX-5 feels a lot like the original 1. 6-liter Miata—though a whole lot quicker. We managed to crack the six-second barrier at the test track, recording a 5. 9-second sprint to 60 mph and 16. 2 seconds to 100. Even the turbocharged second-generation. Source: www.caranddriver.com
