2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata Research and Review
The amazingly fun to drive Mazda MX-5 Miata is back for its 25th year, and like a fine wine, the Mazda MX-5 Miata has only gotten better with age. This model year, Mazda is offering the roadster in a 25th Anniversary special edition trim level, while the Sport trim replaces its vinyl top with cloth. Keep reading our 2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata review to learn about all the features and amenities on this year's model.
The 2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata in Springfield comes in four trim levels: Sport, Club, Grand Touring and 25th Anniversary Edition. The base Sport trim features a cloth convertible top with a glass rear window, cloth seats, 16-inch alloy wheels, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, foglights and a six-speaker sound system.
The Club trim adds sportier front and rear fascias, keyless entry, a leather-wrapped shift knob, a trip computer, black exterior trim, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls and unique interior materials. The next level Grand Touring trim adds even more luxury amenities, including leather upholstery, heated seats, automatic climate control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, silver interior accents, a seven-speaker Bose audio system and a choice of either black or beige cloth top.
We recommend adding the Suspension package if you want greater handling, as it adds a limited-slip differential and a sport-tuned suspension with Bilstein shocks. The Premium package for the Grand Touring gets keyless ignition and entry, Bluetooth connectivity, satellite radio and xenon headlights. The 25th Anniversary Edition gets both the Suspension and Premium packages as standard, along with upgraded leather upholstery and unique 17-inch alloy wheels.
Under the hood, the 2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata is powered by a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine that rates at 167 horsepower (manual transmission) and 140 lb.-ft. of torque. Drivers have their choice between either a manual gearbox or an automatic transmission, but our 2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata review recommends the manual gearbox for those who want to make the most out of the Miata's nimble driving feel.
