Mazda's celebrated MX-5 Miata continues its reign as the king of lightweight roadsters for the 2021 model year. Its success is often attributed to its unbeatable combination of fun handling, classic looks, and great value. Here are the must-knows about the 2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata. more 1. Responsive Powertrain The MX-5's peppy SKYACTIV-G 2.0L inline-four engine is eager to be put through its paces. Doling out 181 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque, the Miata can accelerate from 0 to 60 in under six seconds. Its rear-wheel drivetrain is completed with either a six-speed manual transmission with a short-throw shift knob or a six-speed automatic transmission that retains a sporty experience with crisp paddle shifts. Mileage is excellent, too. Manual transmission Miatas can achieve an estimated 26/34 city/highway mpg, while the automatic gets you an extra highway mile at 35 mpg. You'll be hard-pressed to find another sports car that offers so much fun without you having to pay gas-guzzling prices. 2. Light and Perfectly Balanced Chassis Throughout the MX-5's history, Mazda always insisted on its philosophy of "Jinba Ittai"— horse and rider as one. Its handling must be precise and must have perfect balance so that the car feels like a natural extension of the body. This is achieved through a near 50/50 weight distribution of the monocoque chassis and an astonishingly low curb weight of under 2,400 pounds. All models are fitted with a double-wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear suspension. The Club and Grand Touring models also feature a limited-slip differential to promote maximum traction. Steering is immediate and gives you a great feel for the road. Topping it off are 11-inch disc brakes providing plenty of stopping power and the result is a car that handles like a go-kart. 3. Bold Exterior Styling The MX-5 Miata marries classic roadster design with modern, aggressive lines. Standard LED lighting is featured on the stylish headlights and taillights. The available 17-inch wheels are constructed with a lightweight aluminum alloy finished with the ultra-cool Metallic Black or Dark Silver. A variety of striking paint finishes like Soul Red Crystal Metallic, Arctic White, Machine Grey Metallic, or Deep Crystal Blue Mica is also available. Besides the standard retractable soft-top, the Club RF and Touring RF models are offered as coupe versions. 4. Slick and Focused Interior You'll find that the good looks extend into the cockpit, too. The dashboard and door panels feature clean, sleek lines. The seating is supportive with padded armrests and the available Nappa leather upholstery and heating add a luxurious touch. There's also enough storage space for two if you're looking to go on a quick weekend getaway. 5. Premium Audio and Infotainment Systems All models come standard with a clear 7-inch infotainment touchscreen, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and Bluetooth connectivity. The Miata's Commander control knob makes it easy to navigate between multiple menus. Also standard are dual USB inputs and steering wheel-mounted audio and phone controls. Audiophiles will appreciate the available 9-speaker Bose audio system. This system was specially tailored to the interior acoustics of the car and features a subwoofer and headrest-mounted speakers for the driver and passenger. These exciting features make it easy to see why Mazda's MX-5 Miata maintains its reputation as one of the greatest roadsters of all time. You'll love the joyful driving experience and exquisite styling it offers. Come see for yourself at Flood Mazda today!
