First revealed back in 1989, the Mazda Miata MX-5 has gone on to become the most popular sports car ever built with over 850,000 units sold since its inception. The open top rear wheel drive roadster is currently in its third design phase and for 2010 is being offered in two different variations with the MX-5 starting at $22,810 and the MX-5 Power Retractable Hard Top available as a either a Touring or Grand Touring model with sales starting at $26,850.
The MX-5 Miata is powered by an all new 2.0 Liter four cylinder that puts out 167 HP when shifted manually or 158 HP in the automatic version and 150 ft-lb of torque. While that may not sound like very much grunt, the 2,593 pound Miata is able to play on the track all day long and even though it may take 7.4 seconds to get from 0 to 60 MPH, the thought won’t cross your mind as you are passing more powerful cars in a turn.
For the 2010 model year, the MX-5 only receives some minor updates including a few new exterior colors and trim packages. The new MX-5 will be offered as a Sport, Touring and Grand Touring model with standard equipment varying per trim level. New car buyers will be able to choose from items like a six speaker AM/FM/CD player with auxiliary jack for MP3 players as well as fun stuff like a limited slip differential, cruise control, fog lamps and high tech stuff like Bluetooth hands free connectivity and SIRIUS satellite radio.
