The sleek, delightful 2009 Mazda MX-5 Miata is making a serious impact on the Saturn Sky and its other competitor's sales rates. It's just so fun to drive! It's a small, convertible sports car that makes you want to drive everywhere just so you can enjoy all of the attention that you are granted. There are 2 basic configurations available: a hard-top powered retractable version or a traditional soft-top. It might be a little on the cute side, but it doesn't play very well with others. Women adore its looks and men respect its fury.

Although, all trims come with a singular engine choice, a 2.0L I4, there are three different transmission options available to you. There is a 5-speed manual, a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic that features steering wheel paddle shifters. Either manual transmission option will assist the stock engine to produce 167 horsepower while the automatic transmission option acts in conjunction with the engine to produce 158 horses.

MSRPs for the 2009 Mazda Miata range from $21,750 up to $28,190. With a gross vehicular weight of less than 3100 pounds, fuel efficiency ratings are impressive at 28/22 mpg highway/city. The standard factory warranty covers you bumper to bumper for 36 months or 36,000 miles.

Mazda cares about your safety too. An impressive list of across-the-trim-board standard safety features includes double frontal impact airbags that protect your head in the event of a collision. The passenger side bag can be deactivated. There are also torso-protecting side impact airbags included. 4-wheel anti-lock braking with brake force distribution automatically adjusts stopping power to each wheel individually when the brakes are activated in an emergency situation.

Seat belt pretensioners automatically tighten to prepare any passengers for impact when the electronic braking system is activated. Tire pressure monitoring devices also alert you any time that tire pressure levels are not optimized. This greatly helps to maintain maximal fuel economy. Further, the built-in security system for the 2009 Miata has a feature that disables the ignition if the original manufacturer's key is not used to attempt to start the engine. Electronic stability and traction control systems are also in place to assure your safety and responsive handling ability on the Grand Touring trim.

The styling of the Mazda MX-5 Miata has been significantly refreshed for 2009 as well. There are newly designed headlights, tail lights, front and rear fascias and sharpened wheel designs. Add in the extra horsepower, transmission options, enhanced fuel efficiency and a firmer suspension system and you have a new Miata that is turning heads and making owners very enthusiastic.

The 2009 Mazda MX-5 Miata is a sharp convertible that is simply a blast to maneuver. Owners brag about the responsive handling, the quick-revving engine, the solid feel for such a lightweight vehicle and, most of all, the sheer excitement that they experience each time they cruise it.
