MX-5 was left to be what it was from the beginning, expressing the revival of the classic roadster with modern means. So it has two narrow places, thin roof, rigid drive-train, better handle, round instruments and a great gear lever. Even the 1.6-liter engine is sufficient for normal needs. It is quiet and has a satisfactory tensile strength. If you change often the speed, you can get good values of acceleration. Fuel consumption of 8.7 liters remains within acceptable limits. To be complete we need to mention the following disadvantages of MX-5: the space for mineral water, which is only in the right front seat of passenger and the limited space for travel luggage that should not more than one bag.
The basic task of a sports car like Miata is to obtain smiles on the faces of people. In spite of everything, a roadster is as much about transportation for the spirit as it is about only getting you from one place to another. Miata have the essential qualities that divide sporting machinery from the rest of the herd. It is described with such characteristics as agility and affordability and when we talk about a sports car, it's a combination that's hard to beat.
Mazda MX-5 (Miata), the best-selling roadster of all time, has won the title of the 'Best Sports Car' in 2010, after a JD Power survey, which was about customer satisfaction in the United Kingdom. Over 17,000 car owners in the United Kingdom have participated in the annual survey. The owners of this model have appreciated the cars with maximum score for appearance, interior and exterior quality, reliability, performance, maintenance costs and the services after sale.
After counting the votes, Mazda MX-5 has achieved a satisfaction degree of 82.3%, ahead of luxury models like Mercedes-Benz SLK and Audi TT, and VW Eos, earning the title of the "Best in its class".
Mazda MX-5 owners for over 20 years have found this model as an affordable, durable and very enjoyable to drive roadster. During this period MX-5 has won over 160 awards and has sold 870,000 units, becoming one of the referenced models of the industry with fans across all continents.
Since the release of electric retractable roof in 2006, MX-5 series has become even more popular. Last year it held 22% of non-premium segment of sport models in Britain, the motherland of two-seater roadster, and was second in Europe with a share estimated at 12%.
"JD Power survey results are very important in Britain because the British people are very passionate about sports cars in general. But these results reflect more than the satisfaction with the MX-5's model. It demonstrates how easy is to use daily the roadster, because it combines low maintenance costs, legendary reliability and quality services to the excitement of a convertible sports car. No doubt it is still a very popular model" said Jeff Guyton, President and CEO of Mazda Representative in Europe.
