Selected page of 06 Mazda MX-5 Miata
It takes more than seductive sheet metal and bucket seats to build a real sports car. And more than hastily configured, off-the-shelf parts to make it agile and
responsive. Which is why it only takes one test drive to appreciate the MX-5 Miata's purpose-built design. And the unique, intuitive feeling of oneness that it forges
between car and driver. Since weight is every true sports car's enemy, a weight-saving gram-by-gram strategy was implemented to ensure that every key component
in the MX-5 Miata was as strong and light as possible. Which is why its larger and more powerful 170-hp engine, hood, trunk lid and even rear brake calipers are
all aluminum. And why, without a single extra gram of fat to slow it down, the MX-5 Miata is nearly 400 pounds lighter than some competitors.*

| Few sensations on earth can match the pure joy of piloting a pure sports car. And few sports cars can rival the all-new
MX-5 Miata's unique ability to make you feel as if you are the car, as much as the driver. So buckle up. Rev it up
Click through the gears. Rocket through an S-curve. And enjoy fun-to-drive dynamics that are impossible to forget
Smile-inducing freedom that's impossible to measure. And clean, classic styling that's impossible to ignore. Even for the
most discerning driving enthusiasts, the MX-5 Miata delivers the definitive, purpose-built sports car experience.

A. The MX-5 Miata's hollow front stabilizer bar helps
reduce weight and minimize body roll while helping
to maintain tire contact especially during abrupt
directional changes. B. An advanced double-wishbone
front suspension, featuring aluminum alloy control
arms and gas-filled shocks, helps promote quick
response to all driver input and contributes to the
MX-5 Miata's superb handling. Power-assisted ventilated front disc brakes with large 11.4-inch rotors
promote consistently linear, fade-resistant stops.
The true measure of a sports car's reflexes is how quickly, and accurately, it transforms driver
input into meaningful motion. And how well it defends each tire contact patch those four
crucial bonds between rubber and road in spite of speed, trajectory or road surface. Graded on
the most severe curve, the all-new MX-5 Miata's handling is both agil
| The MX-5 Miata's uniquely engineered new Z-fold convertible top adds the crowning touch to its already compelling profile. Thanks to its ingenious
spring-assisted frame and single, centralized locking mechanism, the top can easily be raised or lowered from the driver's seat in seconds with just
one hand. What's more, its elegant, flush-fitting design also eliminates the need for a separate tonneau cover, when lowered and locked into place
without compromising any trunk space. Equally important, with its top raised, the MX-5 Miata provides the kind of sleek, stylish protection that
makes some convertible tops look more like ugly afterthoughts. In the bargain, you'll even benefit from more headroom and less wind noise
Naturally, a durable glass rear window with an integral rear-window defroster are both standard. An optional, detachable hardtop is also available

| A sports car with the impeccable credentials of the MX-5 Miata demands a tailor-made cabin of equal caliber. So the MX-5 Miata's stunning
all-new interior was painstakingly reengineered to make it more spacious. More accommodating. And more refined. In fact, you'll find nearly four
more cubic feet of room for heads, shoulders, hips and legs. A tilt-adjustable steering wheel, redesigned bucket seats and even repositioned foot
pedals. Plus an abundance of rich, new textures and quality materials. Everywhere you look are signs of superb fit and finish, real craftsmanship
and meticulous attention to detail. Other thoughtful touches in the MX-5 Miata's new interior include waist-level climate-control vents, a lockable
rear center console storage compartment, dual covered cup holders and even handy door-mounted water bottle holders.

| The MX-5 Miata's all-new cockpit is designed to achieve a single
overriding goal: Establish a unique feeling of oneness between car
and driver. To that end, Mazda engineers carefully studied crucial
driver movements and related muscle stress. Then, armed with this
comprehensive new data, they rethought and redesigned. Improving
every critical element of the MX-5 Miata's cockpit from the angle of
its steering wheel and driver's seat, to the shape of its gearshift knob
and accelerator pedal. All to ensure unobstructed communication
between man and machine. Which is why the MX-5 Miata's steering
wheel, shifter and controls all fall effortlessly to hand. Why its new
gauge cluster and displays provide superb lines-of-sight. And also
why its redesigned shifter and repositioned foot pedals work in
harmony to make heel-and-toe downshifts even easier to execute.

| On virtually any given weekend, you can find Mazda MX-5 Miatas racing somewhere in the U.S. In fact, Spec Miata is now the Sports Car Club of
America's (SCCA) largest and most popular class competing on challenging tracks all across America. And in SCCA Showroom Stock B (SS/B) events,
MX-5 Miatas have won six straight overall championships, outrunning a horde of Acuras, BMWs, Hondas and Toyotas in the process. Naturally, this
year's completely redesigned MX-5 Miata reflects a host of insights garnered from Mazda's racing heritage. And it's eager to join its older siblings
in competition and in the winner's circle. Equally impressive, with more than 750,000 sold worldwide, the MX-5 Miata has also taken the checkered
flag for the best-selling, two-seat roadster of all-time. That's quite a track record for a mere 16-year-old. And perhaps the most compelling reason
of all to check out the innovative icon that single-handedly reinvented the lightweight, two-seat sports car back in 198
