IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2016 Mazda
MX-5 Miata has been named the "Best Sports Car for the Money" by
US News & World Report. Mazda's lightweight roadster was
selected based on the media reviews it has received, as well as
driving performance, interior features and comfort, reliability and
safety ratings.
Now, as has been the case for the past 27 years, MX-5 continues
to thrill and delight those who drive it—casual enthusiasts,
commuters and racecar drivers alike. Lighter, quicker and more
fuel-efficient than its predecessor, thanks to Mazda's SKYACTIV
Technology suite, the 2016 MX-5 is a thoroughly modern sports car
with head-turning KODO—Soul of Motion design that provides drivers
and passengers with an unrivaled open-top experience.
With a starting MSRP in the U.S. of $24,9151, MX-5 also is one of the most
accessible sports cars in the U.S., coming standard with power
windows, LED headlights and tail lights and leather-wrapped
steering wheel, shift knob and parking brake. Available options
include a limited-slip rear differential, lightweight 17-inch
forged BBS wheels and Brembo front brakes in the MX-5 Club trim
level. In MX-5 Grand Touring, features include amenities like
heated leather seating surfaces, a Bose premium audio system,
adaptive headlights, navigation and even safety features like rear
cross-traffic alert, blind spot monitoring and lane-departure
warning.
US News & World Reports factored vehicle reviews and
other scores with average price paid, according to TrueCar, and an
estimated five-year cost of ownership from analytics company
Vincentric, LLC. More information can be found at its website.
