Mazda MX-5 Road Test

by Sze | Filed under Transportation, Video

Fifth Gear’s Tom Ford takes out the all-new Mazda MX5 for a road test. The Mazda MX5 has a 2L DOHC inline-4 engine which produces 170hp @ 6700rpm and 140 lb-ft torque @ 5000rpm.

Tom Ford drives the Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupe. Gone are the days of storing your roof in your garden shed – the brand new MX-5 now comes with a folding hard top. Cars with this type of roof offer more security and comfort when up, but seem to swallow all the boot space when down.

The new mechanism adds only 37kgs to the kerb weight of the car, and the 2.0 litre sport still has a top speed of 131mph and can hit 62mph in 7.9secs. Have Mazda found the perfect solution?
