The combination of a powerful engine, rear drive and unusual body design allowed MX-5 to become a well-known model of the cabriolet not only in Japan, but also in other countries of the world. Mazda combined all the best of all sports cars in the 70s and 80s.

Mazda MIATA MX-5, Birth model

So in 1989 a new convertible was released, which the world did not see before.

For the quarter of the next century, MIATA has become the best-selling convertible since the start of their release.

It is thanks to her, a twin machine with a folding ride began to attribute to the Cabriolet class.

Over time, MX-5 has become a legend.

And other manufacturers have followed its footsteps: Honda Civic Del Sol, Toyota Mr2 Spyder, Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky.

It would seem that such a class of cars provided himself with a worthy existence.

But it was not there. The situation in 2015 very much reminds the situation of 1989: again MIATA has no strong competitors.

Honda S2000 was removed from production back in 2009, Toyota Spyder "resigned" back in 2007, and Solstice and Sky "died" along with the company that released them into light.

Convertibles of other models - BMW Z4, Audi TT, Porsche Boxster are more expensive and heavy cars.

Mazda MIATA MX-5, exterior model

So can Mazda MX-5 revive the class of economy cabriolets in 2016 a second time?

No words to describe how attractive this car.

Looking at Mazda MX-5, I want not just to sit down and ride, but also "make friends" with her.

The Miata salon is quite spacious.

The original headlights of the head light and smooth bends of the lines in the coupe with the grille of the radiator give the planned human-like expression of the front of the car.

Seeing on the road in the mirror of the rear view MIATA MX-5, it can be said that it looks like Kermit or Nemo.

One words, it looks nothing else, as an embodiment of a revived metal and rubber weighing 2,000 pounds.

Of course, 2 and 3 generation of cars of this brand lost pop-up lighting lights, but this did not prevent a new model to become beautiful and highly desired by the car.

It is worth looking at her once, and this is already enough to fall in love with this car forever.

Mazda MIATA MX-5, just a car

The design of the car was going on the path of progress from the first generation to the third, but the fourth generation can be attributed to a separate category.

It is lowered, her wheels seem like the lined sit in the arches.

Machine with respect embodies "Kodo" design 2010: long curved lines, compact folding top and enlarged wings. A stupid smile disappeared, now in her place smirk a la joker.

Each generation of cars of this model went along the path of magnification: the heir was always a little more than the predecessor - a little longer, the droplet is wider, slightly harder and of course more powerful.

Such evolution successfully justified the expectations of consumers, but at the same time created a bad feeling that the car squeezes.

Between the first generation (1989-1997) MIATA and the third (2005-2015), the car added about 500 pounds in weight.

Richard Hammond called the latest generation of MIATA "more centerast and more muscular" than the previous ones - a stitching compliment for the car, which was always famous for its harmony.

In the fourth generation, Mazda is trying to return to the previous form again: it is much easier and less.

It is even inferior to the power of previous models.

According to Mazda designers, they carefully selected each bolt, each mount, each panel so that it does not add and unnecessary grams of a new car model.

MIATA has always been a high-quality car.

According to Bob Observer, this machine is not suitable for measurement in such values \u200b\u200bsuch as Mill / Hour or Mill / Gallon, it is measured in a special size - "smiles / gallon".

She is pretty "grilling", but in the rest of the hall of rights: only sitting behind the wheel of such a car you can feel how well he behaves on the road.

Mazda MIATA MX-5, model equipment

For MIATA, three types of configuration are possible: Sport, Club and GT.

The most luxurious is GT equipment.

She has a six-speed manual gearbox.

The interior decoration is made of genuine leather.

Also very happy and the built-in car audio system.

But it still remained sophisticated reminders that the owner of the economy-class car - Bluetooth works almost all the time, cup holders, have to open and close the will of the unill.

But in the end, it does not matter.

Mazda MIATA MX-5, interior of the cabin

Mazda MX-5 2016 is the most memorable car.

All, ranging from the gear shift lever and a sensitive steering drive, to the excellent distribution of the center of gravity of the car and the comfortable driver's seat, allows the owner to not feel hidden inside the steel cocoon, as can be said, while driving a Mustang or Challenger.

A trip on such a car is facing the flight on the carpet. Turn around, and from a driver's seat you can see any corner of your car.

Small weight and rear drive allow new MX-5 to confidently behave on any parts of the road: on steep turns or on a straight line.

Mazda Miata MX-5 is not in demand only in areas and areas where most of the time on the road is snow: the rear-wheel drive turns the pleasure of a trip to the nightmare.

The folding top is a poor protection against bad weather, and at the same time it is quite compact, so a person with high growth inside it will be closely.

But despite all these reservations, MIATA is a magnificent cabriolet: uncompromisingly light, ready to conquer winding turns or coastal lines.

Undoubtedly, the fourth generation MIATA made a new breath in the history of the development of convertibles.

In the eyelid, when cars are equipped mainly by information and entertainment filling, MIATA seems to resemble the owner that not only multimedia technologies can bring joy on the road, but also the car itself is just enough to take the MX-5 steering wheel in order to feel it .

Depending on the success of the sale of this car, changes in the world of convertibles will occur.

With a good scenario, Fiat will release a new car with folding riding.

There are also rumors that Honda S2000 can go along the path of its own development and soon resurrect from the grave.
