BRANDON, FL, June 14, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- For 2015, the iconic rear-drive Mazda MX-5 Miata roadster ranks No. 3 out of 11 for Affordable Sports Cars and remains one of the most engaging cars available today, combining the charm of an old British MG with modern conveniences and reliability.
The popular two-seater is available at Ferman Mazda of Brandon and takes the lead over rivals like the 2015 Scion FR-S/ Subaru BRZ and the 2015 Chevrolet Camaro.
The vehicle has received an excellent ranking among Affordable Sports Cars by U.S. News & World Report, which the company based on their analysis of published reviews, test drives, and reliability and safety data of the new Miata.
The 2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired to either a five- or six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic that includes steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. Customers can expect a total output of 167 horsepower with manual, 158 hp with the automatic, and 140 pound-feet of torque with either option.
Mazda's fun-loving roadster has been praised by automotive writers for its incredibly athletic handling and responsive steering and its slick manual gearbox, which they say offers a precise shifter and light clutch action. The roadster is not only an absolute joy to drive; it also provides the driver with an overall sense of being connected to the car - a feeling that not many sports cars can replicate.
The automaker is celebrating 25 years and three generations of the roadster model since its 1989 debut. The vehicle remains one of the more entertaining two-seater, rear-drive sports cars on the market.
