2005 MAZDASPEED MX-5 Miata
For 15 years, the MX-5 Miata has never wavered from the original concept of a pure, lightweight sports car in roadster form. So when MAZDASPEED engineers set out to develop the high-performance Miata so many fans have been longing for, they didn’t merely make a faster Miata. Instead, they looked at the five key areas that have given it its unique iconic status - engine response, handling, driver-vehicle connectivity, appearance and value - and turned up the volume of each one.
The result is a brilliantly balanced high-performance sports car that thoroughly enhances the MX-5 Miata’s character without changing it. As the experts at TheCarConnection.com said, "If your purpose is to get the maximum Miata for the minimum outlay, you will never be able to beat the MAZDASPEED Miata."
