2012 Mazda Miata MX-5 Convertible Test Drive & Car Review
http://www.autobytel.com/mazda/mx-5-miata/2012/ The Mazda MX-5 is the one true sports car that has lasted the test of time. The recipe for success was written ling ago: convertible top, sport scar design, engine up front, and rear wheel drive. The 2012 Mazda Miata MX-5 carries on the torch. Sure there are cars like the BMW Z4 or the Porsche Boxster but those cost twice as much!
The 2012 Mazda MX-5 Miata starts at $23,470 with the top of the line Grand Touring costing $30,050. What's cool about the MX-5 is that you can get this hot little roadster with a convertible that is either a soft top or a hard top. The 2012 Mazda MX-5 is powered by a 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engine that makes 158 horsepower and 140 lb-ft. of torque. You may be thinking that the Miata MX-5 is underpowered, but the engine has more than enough grunt to move the ultra light vehicle weight of 2645 lbs.
Really the 2012 Mazda MX-5 is the closest you can get to real track performance at this price. And even though the MX-5 was tuned for the track, the convertible rides very well on regular roads. The engine is responsive and the steering is quick. Take one for a test drive and you will be hooked.

Cosworth MX-5 vs MX-5
a comparison of MX-5s. I am just getting used to the new clutch and faster reving engine. The tune is a preliminary one while I wait on a wide band AFR logger. THe car is putting out about 200rwhp right now, but 220-230 should be a snap once it is tuned right.
