Last week, more than 60 automotive journalists from around the United States gathered at the Texas Motor Speedway to evaluate more than 50 cars for the annual Texas Auto roundup hosted by the Texas Auto Writer's Association (TAWA). Mazda's iconic roadster, the MX-5 Miata faced some stiff competition in the Performance Compact category. However, thanks to Mazda's KODO--Soul of Motion design language and full suite of SKYACTIV technology, it was able to earn a victory in the segment.
“The Mazda MX-5’s combination of exterior, interior finish, delightful performance and overall appeal equated to one of the highest scoring vehicles in any category in this year’s Roundup, and just short of the overall Car of Texas award. To say the journalists were impressed is an understatement,” said Nic Phillips, TAWA president. “Given the competitive class, let alone the entire field, everyone at Mazda has a right to be proud. Not only that, our journalists also gave it the highest value score of any car at the event.”
The Mazda MX-5 Miata is one of the most popular models in the world. More than 950,000 have been sold worldwide, and the millionth model recently rolled off the production line at the beginning of this month. MSRP for the 2016 MX-5 Miata starts at $24,915.
