Really, it's unnecessarily stiff, which reduces not only comfort but driver confidence.Ride quality may be questionable, but the Miata's steering is superb, crisp and direct, with near telepathic precision. As time went on, Robert became more and more interested in cars and convinced his father to teach him how to drive when he was just 13 years old. But what if, someday, down the road, Mazda wanted to jump into the supercar market and compete against the.If Mazda were to take a sudden dive into the supercar market, this is a clear representation of what it would look like. The Mazda Furai (松田・風籟, Matsuda Furai) was a concept car revealed on 27 December 2007 and designed by Swift Engineering and manufactured by Mazda.

Mazda Supercar Rendering Imagines A Japanese Mid-Engine Beauty Too bad it's only a figment of someone's imagination... for now.
Robert continued working on cars in his free time and learned as much as he could about engines, transmissions, and car electrical systems, something that only fed his curiosity more and eventually led him to earn a bachelors degree in automotive technology with a primary focus on engine performance and transmission rebuilding.© Copyright TopSpeed. It's so natural, direct and intuitive. More advanced features including adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist are not offered no matter the price.Speaking of dollars and cents, my Arctic White MX-5 Miata Club model checked out for right around $35,705, including that one option package and $945 in destination fees. The Mazda Miata is a supercar. It's just a shame some powertrain vibration can be felt through its leather-wrapped knob. All Rights Reserved,� Copyright TopSpeed. Mazda is busy formulating its strategy for an inevitable electric future and competing with the ever-growing trend in SUVs. Just pull the header-mounted lever and push the top rearward until it locks into a well behind the seats. The Miata is plenty powerful despite having "only" 181 hp.Of course, this roadster can also be had with a six-speed automatic transmission. The Mazda MX-5 Miata might not be a supercar by typical standards, but when it comes to driving dynamics, dollar for dollar, this car can't be beat.This roadster is lean, low and incredibly purposeful.This little Japanese roadster delivers more driving enjoyment than some exotic cars that cost 10 times more. They feature a front strut-tower brace, an induction sound enhancer and a limited-slip differential. The stubby shifter, which allows you to stir the standard six-speed manual transmission, is crisp, with short throws and zero vagueness. Club models with the manual transmission can be fitted with a $4,470 package that adds heated Recaro sport seats and Brembo front binders with red calipers all around. A teaser image of the vehicle was released on 11 December 2007. It feels more like an extension of your body than your own right arm. This car's stiff suspension elicits a bit of cowl shake on bad roads, too, and all these things conspire to make it seem like you're going faster than you actually are.Look at those Brembo calipers, not only are they pretty, they're functional, too.Of course, should you overcook a corner or spot a cop hiding out beneath an overpass, the brakes are ready, willing and more than able to pull back on the reins. Finally, the engine responds immediately to even minute accelerator-pedal inputs, which makes achieving perfectly rev-matched downshifts child's play.Miatas sold in America are energized by a 2.0-liter engine that makes its power the old-fashioned way. But even if you're not terribly experienced dancing the three-pedal shuffle, I encourage you to go with the stick because the Miata is just so easy to shift and drive, plus the automatic is rather out of character for this car.When fitted with a manual gearbox, expect 26 miles per gallon city and 34 highway. Combined, my tester is rated at 29 mpg, though the computer readout indicates better than 34, an amazing figure considering how frequently I've been visiting the engine's upper limits.Acceleration is effortless, though this Mazda probably isn't quite as quick as it feels. Take the taillights, for example, or the way the rear fascia is designed.
