Mazda MX-5 - roadster for hairdressers?

Author of the article: , published March 26, 2015.

Over the past three generations, Mazda engineers have struggled to create a relatively affordable car that would allow the driver to enjoy driving without a roof. To that end, they designed the first-generation MX1989 in 5, which sold nearly a million units.

With its simple design and agility, it has satisfied the wishes of drivers for a solid driving experience, even without the use of turbochargers and huge numbers written in the license under the category "Vehicle power". The first generation thus offered only 90 hp in its weakest version, which is not much in the "roadster" world.
However, the great success of the sale of the Mazda MX5 in Slovenia is not noticeable, because it is still a car with a narrower segment of customers - on the most famous site for the sale of used vehicles in Slovenia, it is difficult to list more than 10 that would be for sale.3

In the automotive community outside the borders of our country, the Mazda MX5 mostly holds the reputation as an enjoyable vehicle for a lighter, yet faster, more dynamic ride. However, since each medal has two sides, over the years it has also built a reputation as a vehicle for overcoming the crisis of middle age and so-called vehicles for hairdressers. I guess the latter label is created more in terms of the person who wants to be noticed because of the car, and the car itself isn’t even that very important to her.2
This year, it launched a new Mazda Mx5 model in Mazda, which is supposed to remain true to its reputation. The power will be chosen between two engines with Skyactive technology, which represents the latest generation of engines from the land of the rising sun. It is a 1,5-liter engine with 130 hp and a 2,0-liter engine that offers 157 hp.
The editorial board of the World of Speed ​​portal would like to test whether the new model is more focused on driving pleasures or is it really only suitable for installation through city centers and the transport of hairdressing accessories?

If a test vehicle is available at the importer, we will be happy to resolve this dilemma once and for all…
