Power and Performance

Our Danbury, CT Mazda dealers have three trims to show you. Each is powered by a Skyactiv®-G 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that outputs 181 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. Rear-wheel drive (RWD) is standard, along with a SKYACTIV®-MT six-speed manual transmission with a short throw shifter. If you buy the range-topping Grand Touring trim, you can swap out the manual gearbox for a six-speed automatic that includes steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.

Cabin

Beneath the retractable soft roof of the Mazda MX-5 Miata resides a comfortable, well-equipped cockpit. The Sport trim features cloth seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, shift knob, and parking brake. The Club trim upgrades to cloth-trimmed heated seats with suede inserts, while the elegant Grand Touring gets full leather-trimmed seats and adds automatic climate control.
