The entry-level SV Miata comes standard with 16-inch alloy wheels, power windows, power mirrors, and a CD player. The SV is not eligible to receive the powered retractable hardtop. The SV is also sold "as is," with no option to add features or amenities. Buyers looking to add options like keyless entry, cruise control, and steering-wheel audio controls will have to step up to the Sport level.

The SV mates a five-speed manual transmission to the standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine.
