2014 Mazda Miata MX-5 Gives You Plenty To Like [Video Review]

2014 Mazda Miata

The 2014 Mazda Miata MX-5 is in it’s third generation having been around since 2006 and they’ve changed the styling for a bigger, wider, and heavier car than it was when it was first introduced. It’s got a 2-liter inline 4-cylinder with 167 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque. That’s all paired to a 6-speed manual transmission. There is an automatic available, but you’ll take a horsepower hit down to 158, and the manual is a heck of a lot more fun to drive. Fuel consumption numbers are 21/28/24 city/highway/combined.

The interior of the Mazda Miata MX-5 subscribes to the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) design philosophy with nice clean lines and without lots of overblown technology. It’s got just a radio and a CD player and presets that are easy to program making the focus here all about the ride. Although, it might be a little too simple with the absence of a USB port.
