Thank you Drive Shop USA for lending me the 2016 Mazda Miata Mx-5 to test drive for a week. As you know , my opinions are pretty biased about Mazda, being that they are one of my favorite makers for cars. So this post is going to be me gushing my admiration for the MX-5 !
The 2016 Mazda Miata Mx-5 embodies one word , Fun. An absolute thrill ride that I feel everyone must experience at least once in their lives. The Miata has been for years , a favorite for sports car enthusiasts and it's no wonder why. The Mx-5 has a 6 speed gear , and swaping from gear to gear was a breeze. The Mx-5 was very reaponside and drove off dairly smoothly. From the outside looking in the Mx-5 truly demands respect on the road. It's sleek yet aggressive design is an eye catcher. You can choose to drive with the top down for those warm California nights, or have the top up if you don't want to have your hair in the air. One of my favorites about the Mx-5 is its stock exhaust, that bad boy is loud ! It was so hard resisting the urge to floor it , but even with the slightest tap of the gas you still received a very satisfying hum.
On the inside of the Mx-5 everything was very sleek from the seats that hugged my body nicely , to the steering wheel that felt very nice in my small hands. It also wasn't hard to handle the steering wheel neither, it was very smooth. The touch LCD screen is always a plus for me , Mazdas have a very nice navigation system that makes it easy to use and follow which I enjoy. The 1 set back for me was the size of the cabin , granted sports cars are well known for having small cabins . But I am 5 foot 3 and I felt a bit of a squeeze . Once you look past that , it's hard not to enjoy every minute of your ride inside the 2016 Mazda Mx-5 .
In conclusion, the Mazda Mx-5 is a wonderful weekend car to hop into after a long week day of working. It's a great way to indulge on some fun while on the road !
