Jinba Ittai - Rider and Horse as one Reflecting the very essence of the Zoom-Zoom spirit, the MX-5 captures the feeling of the symbiotic relationship between car and driver unlike any other vehicle. Generated by the movement and expression of body contours, the MX-5 s athletic muscularity screams out sports car to all that see it. While for those that drive it, superior handling, stability and nimbleness all typify the MX-5 s character. Features shown might not be available in South Africa.
Loved by drivers. Adored by spectators. Today s third-generation MX-5 is the result of a redesign for 2009 that makes it the most exhilarating and compelling MX-5 ever. You make the connection the instant you set eyes on it. It s as if you were there when the designers first put pen to paper. You can sense their enthusiasm. Feel their passion. And appreciate the results. From every angle, your reward is a truly legendary and worthy update to the best-selling two-seater roadster of all time, which makes an impression from the first, and keeps inspiring you long afterward. Exhilaration comes from within The promise of sportiness made on the outside is more than kept on the inside, because the MX-5 is geared for exhilaration, right down to the DNA that made its predecessors legendary. The more powerful 118kW 2.0l DOHC, 16-valve powerplant utilises an electronic throttle and electronically controlled port fuel injection to promote a more linear response and superb acceleration. For even the most discerning driving enthusiasts, the MX-5 delivers the definitive, purpose-built sports car experience.
Step inside and enjoy the wide open spaces The interior of the MX-5 is a special place to be. Painstakingly re-engineered to be even more refined, it features a tilt-adjustable steering wheel, redesigned seats and even repositioned foot pedals to make downshifts easier. And it s even more spacious, providing more leg room and headroom. Operating the Retractable Hard Top is a breeze. One button lowers the top, another raises it, and a single latch secures it in 12 seconds flat, from the comfort of your seat. All giving the sports car with the impeccable credentials of the MX-5 a tailor-made cabin of equal calibre. Designed around one component. You. The true measure of a sports car s reflexes is how quickly and accurately it transforms driver input into meaningful motion, and the MX-5 more than delivers. A weight-saving gram-by-gram strategy ensures that every key component is as strong and light as possible. The MX-5 s ideal 50:50 weight distribution (including driver) from front to rear is further enhanced by repositioning more mass including powertrain, fuel tank and battery nearer to the car s centre line. The pay-off is even more amazing agility and balanced handling, to make you feel that you re not just driving the car, but that you re one with it.

Not only will you be enthralled by the MX-5 s looks and performance, you ll be reassured by its world-class safety technologies. Stronger materials have reinforced the rigidity of a body structure designed around the Mazda Advanced Impact Distribution and Absorption System (MAIDAS). For example, the new unibody is 22% stiffer in bending and 47% stiffer in torsion. Seatbelts have pre-tensioners and load limiting retractors. The two front airbags are complemented by two newly-designed side airbags that offer head and chest protection from two sections that inflate simultaneously. The hollow front stabiliser bar helps reduce weight and minimise body roll while helping to maintain tyre contact during abrupt changes. Packed with both passive and active safety technologies, you will always be in safe hands.

All children instinctively know it / A few adults still remember it / One unique car company refuses to outgrow it / In grown-up language, it means the exhilaration and liberation that comes from experiencing sheer motion / But, as usual, children put it much better, and simply call it Zoom-Zoom / We practice it every day, it s why we build the kind of cars we do. Mazda, Always the Soul of a Sports Car. GREY 124526
