2013 Mazda MX-5 Miata Review, Specs, Photo

2013 Mazda MX-5 Miata Review, Specs, Photo. - Now, the Miata kicked off a roadster renaissance, and it's become a motoring icon for those who like sports cars that are light, lean, and relatively simple.Today, if you want a convertible, and you want to enjoy the driving experience at lower speeds and out on narrow country roads, the 2013 Mazda MX-5 Miata remains one of the best ways to get those thrills and end up with a car that's also practical and fuel efficient.

Believe it or not, despite the fact that Mazda first unveiled its refreshed 2013 MX-5 Miata in July of this year, the 2012 Paris Motor Show in late September is the first time we've run across the iconic sports car in the metal. And so we wasted no time in filling our DSLRs with a full spate of images. As you can see, while we eagerly await the still not that close next generation Miata, the current MX-5's well known smiley visage has been toned down for 2013, and that's most definitely a good thing in our books. Besides that, Mazda claims to have "throttle response and brake return." Sounds like a nice addition to what is already a winning package.

2013 Mazda MX-5 Miata Price :
Starting MSRP : $23,720–$29,250

Interior :
The 2013 Mazda MX-5 has some modern details, but they don't get in the way of its lean, classic roadster proportions. This two-seat roadster has a clean, classic look that's refreshingly straightforward today. From the front, the look of the MX-5 Miata has changed very slightly this year, with a new front fascia for all the models. All MX-5 Sport models now get fog lamps, while the Grand Touring gets a fresh 17 inch wheel design.

Exterior :
The Power Retractable Hard Top (PHRT, or just Hard Top) models add a different take to the MX-5's look, essentially turning it into a coupe with the top up, but retaining the classic roadster look with it down. A separate detachable hard top is available for the soft top models. It's probably not all that surprising that the MX-5 Miata is somewhat spartan inside, with cloth seats and simple (mostly dark plastic) surfaces. The steering wheel is leather wrapped in all but the entry level model. Climbing the trim range, however, can add heated leather seats, more chrome trim, and other aesthetic nods to greater prosperity though some may view these changes as moving away from the minimalist sports car spirit of the MX-5.

Performance :
The 2013 MX-5 Miata is a sports car, but you don't have to drive it fast to enjoy it; in fact, it's immensely enjoyable at lower speeds, on zigzagging back roads. Mazda has done a great job in keeping the MX-5 light and nimble, with just enough power to get the job done and be entertaining. Only the new Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S approach this keep it simple formula, and only the Miata offers a seemingly magical combination of sprightliness, rear wheel drive, frugality, and affordability.

The MX-5 isn't exactly quick, but provided you get the manual transmission its revvy 2.0 liter four cylinder engine, rated at 167 horsepower, gathers speed well, with short gearing. Five speed cars have slightly longer gearing down low, but they settle in well at freeway speeds. Zero to 60 mph times vary by the trim and soft or hard top choice, but the range gets to 60 mph in about seven seconds.
