Picture of 2005 Mazda MAZDASPEED MX-5 Miata When MAZDASPEED, Mazda's in-house motorsports and specialty-car tuning division, set out to create a high-performance Miata, it focused on five areas -- the Miata's performance, handling, appearance, driver-vehicle connectivity, and value. As far as performance was concerned, the MAZDASPEED MX-5 Miata received a 25 percent power boost over the standard Miata, thanks to a turbocharged and intercooled 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that pumped out 178 horsepower. It was linked to a six-speed manual transmission, with refined shift points and a strengthened clutch. Helping to improve the Miata's handling were a lower ride height, beefed-up springs and dampers, a modified double-wishbone suspension, and rack-and-pinion steering. Standard features included black cloth-trimmed upholstery, power windows, power door locks, dual second-generation airbags, a black vinyl convertible top, a glass rear window, anti-lock braking system, 17-inch alloy wheels, and a Bose six-speaker audio system with CD. A Grand Touring package added black leather bucket seats and a black cloth soft top, among other features. Drivers noted that Mazda succeeded in such areas as the value and performance factors, but some had quibbles with the vehicle, including its air conditioning, gas mileage, and seats, which some drivers felt were less then comfortable, especially over the long haul.

The Mazdaspeed Miata is a near-perfect drivers car packaged in a tight 2500lb roadster package. 52/48% weight distribution, 33% stiffer spring rates and Long travel shocks over the sport package, 178bhp from the factory, short throw close ratio 6-speed gear box behind a 4.10 TORSEN diff, all make the car pure mechanical poetry. The shifter is amazing, although plagued with bushing problems that can easily be addressed cheap, and is expected every 50-70kmi. The car responds amazingly well to simple upgrades, and many (myself included) are running 225+ whp with under $1000 work. The car is light on its feet even at speeds >75mph. Interior options are minimal, with leather and cloth top as the only option (GT). Taller people (5'11" +) will want the cloth over leather due to the leather seats extra bolstering. Weak points of the car are its 4.10 Diff, toping you out too soon, and the restrictions on height of the driver without changing seats or fabrication. Great car for the track minded individual or for the occasional spirited daily driver. In stock trim 0-60 in 6.2s with about a 14.8 1/4.

these mazdaspeeds are an underappreciated treasure, only made for 2 years, makes my previous miata look tired. A gray wolf in Miata clothing.Takes Miata to a new level. If you find a good used one, it will be a treasure
