Mazda MX5 Miata — Pure driving fun - Kitsap Sun
However, we totally lucked out both during this past 5-Star summer, and again during a warm, sunny spell this spring, getting to drive two versions of the last of the 2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata. After a mild refresh in 2013, the third-generation Miata, which comes in three trim levels — Club, Sport and Grand Touring — is the last fun little roadster of this generation. Mazda announced on April 20 that it had begun production of the fourth-generation, 2016 MX5 Miata — co-developed with Alfa Romeo — and on May 4 that it was accepting pre-orders. With over 950,000 sold worldwide, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, the MX-5 is the “Best-Selling Two-Seat Roadster” on the planet. So if this was to be our last time behind the wheel of the current generation MX-5 Miata, we couldn’t have asked for a better goodbye than the Zeal Red automatic with the paddle shifters, or the Meteor Gary 6-speed stick Grand Touring model with... The Miata has been around for more than 20 years, and has remained true to its roots — an affordable, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive, two-seat roadster. Source: www.kitsapsun.com
