2016 Mazda Miata MX-5: Literally ALL You Need To Know! - Empire State Tribune

Mazda MX-5 Miata has always had a split personality. Whichever side you’re on (or perhaps you can’t decide), the Miata (new or used) is a valuable choice for car shoppers. Speaking of new Miatas, there’s an all-new model for 2016, but we don’t know much about that one just yet. We are, however, very familiar with the first three generations of Mazda’s iconic roadster. From the model featuring pop-up headlights that started it all to the outgoing third-generation model with its flared wheel arches and available power hardtop, we remember them all. Don’t forget about the second-generation car either, which boasted a turbocharged MAZDASPEED version with the best Miata engine to date. Third Generation: NC (2006-2015) Figuring that the original Miata’s underpinnings had run their course after a decade and a half of service spanning two generations, Mazda started from scratch this time. Out went the previous double-wishbone suspension, replaced by a front-wishbone/rear-multilink setup, with standard anti-lock brakes thrown in for good measure. Source: www.esbtrib.com
