Mazda MX-5 2011 Kuwait Prices & Specs

The MX-5, also known as the Miata, is Mazda's excellent two-seat, rear-wheel-drive convertible sports car that was completely redesigned for the 2006 model year, but is available for the first time in the GCC from 2008. It was facelifted for the 2009 model year, but only reached this region for 2010. Powered by a high-revving 2.0-litre 4-cylinder, this little runner is now mated to a 6-speed auto with paddle-shifters now, dumping the slow-selling manual in the GCC. Only the version with the powered folding hard top is offered here. Interior features include CD/MP3 stereo with six-disc changer and 7 Bose speakers, power windows and mirrors, manual a/c, power steering, leather seats, smart-card for keyless entry and ignition, and cruise control. Additional features include chrome outer door handles, Xenon headlights, fog lamps, dual exhaust tips, and 17-inch alloy wheels with run-flat tyres. Safety features include dual front airbags and side airbags, ABS brakes, traction control, stability control, tyre pressure monitor, burglar alarm with immobiliser, and rollover hoops behind the seats. A bit pricey and a favourite among women, but a great alternative to German roadsters for carving up roads.
