2008 Mazda MX-5 Miata Review
Overview
The genuine article. The real deal. An authentic two-seat sports car. And not just any sports car. You deserve a purpose-built sports car. One that’s athletic and agile. One that’s responsive and track-refined. One whose eye-catching curves and compelling character reflect three generations of painstaking improvements and a renowned racing heritage. The crowning touch on the 2008 Mazda MX-5 Miata is an available Power Retractable Hard Top. One that’s as remarkable as the sports car it covers. One that can be fully lowered or raised in a superfast 12 seconds flat. One that doesn’t steal a single inch of precious trunk space. Weight is the enemy of every true sports car. So Mazda engineers implemented a radical weight-saving “gram strategy” to make certain that every critical component in this 3rd-generation MX-5 Miata was as light and strong as possible. Which is why everything from its powerful 166-hp engine and handsome hood to its sleek trunk lid and rear brake calipers are all crafted from aluminum. And why its ultrarigid body structure makes such generous use of high-tension Steel to not compromise one bit of safety. Find out for yourself why the 2008 Mazda MX-5 Miata is able to forge such a unique intuitive feeling of oneness between car and driver.
