What's New for the 2005 Mazda Mazdaspeed Miata?
Two new colors, Lava Orange Mica (which is outfitted with silver-stitched black leather seats) and Black Mica, as well as a new Racing Hart 17-inch alloy wheel, dress up the 2005 Mazdaspeed MX-5 Miata.


Advantages of the 2005 Mazda Mazdaspeed Miata:

  • Impressive engine power
  • Fat band of mid-range torque
  • Sticky low-profile tires
  • Feels more composed at speed than standard car
  • Compelling bang-for-the-buck value equation

Objections to the 2005 Mazda Mazdaspeed Miata:

  • Below 3,500 rpm, feels just like the standard car
  • No cruise control

Editor's Advice:
Twisty road handling and top-down drives on sunny summer days have always been the Mazda Miata's reason for being. Acceleration, while adequate, has not impressed enthusiast owners who wanted more power. Last year's debut of the Mazdaspeed Miata helped resolve this complaint with a 178-horsepower, turbocharged engine that can get one of our favorite roadsters from zero to 60 mph in less than 6.5 seconds. With this infusion of power, our advice is simple: just drive it.
