Mazda MX-5 2009 Bahrain Prices & Specs

The MX-5, also known as the Miata, is Mazda's excellent two-seat, rear-wheel-drive convertible sports car that was completely redesigned for the 2006 model year, but is available for the first time in the GCC from 2008. Powered by a high-revving 2.0-litre 4-cylinder, this little runner is mated to a six-speed manual. Only the version with the powered folding hard top is offered here. Interior features include CD/MP3 stereo with six-disc changer and 7 Bose speakers, power windows and Mirrors manual a/c, power steering, leather seats, smart-card for keyless entry and ignition, and cruise control. Additional features include chrome outer door handles, Xenon headlights, fog lamps, dual exhaust tips, and 17-inch alloy wheels with run-flat tyres. Safety features include dual front airbags and side airbags, ABS brakes, traction control, stability control, tyre pressure monitor, burglar alarm with immobilizer, and rollover hoops behind the seats. A bit pricey and a favourite among women, but a great alternative to German roadsters for carving up roads.
