The MX-5 (Miata) is a small 2-passenger roadster. Introduced in 1989, Mazda's small roadster has retained its hallmark driving characteristics through three generations. The MX-5 places a small displacement four-cylinder engine behind the front axle for balance. This engine makes up to 167-bhp (manual transmission) and powers the rear wheels. The MX-5 will seat two full-size occupants. Buyers now have a choice of convertible tops; both a marvel of simplicity. The standard manually operated cloth top can be stowed and deployed with just one hand. For year round enjoyment, Mazda engineers devised an optional power-operated hardtop that imposes almost no weight or storage penalties. Several trim levels and packages are offered extending the appeal from track-day drivers to more style conscious drivers.

What Changed:

The 2013 MX-5 Miata wears a new front fascia with standard fog lights. The Touring trim level has been replaced by a new Club model. The Club has unique dark wheels, and black accents on the outside. On the inside, Club models have a body-colored trim panel on the dash.
