The MX-5, also known as the Miata, is a popular rear-wheel-drive roadster from Mazda. Completely overhauled for the 2016 model year this purebred sports car is now powered by an all-new SkyActiv-G 2.0-litre four-cylinder motor, and mated to a 6-speed SkyActiv-Drive automatic transmission with paddle-shifters. There is a 6-speed manual variant available elsewhere, which is not on offer in the GCC at the moment.
