Although the new 2021 Mazda MX-5 100th Anniversary Edition boasts unique styling elements, the performance remains the same.
Under the hood, you will find a robust 2.0-litre Skyactiv-G Inline-4 motor that produces 181 hp and 151 lb-ft of torque. This DOHC 16-valve engine is paired with a Skyactiv-MT 6-speed manual transmission. However, you may opt for the automatic version if you prefer. It comes with paddle shifts and a Drive Selection switch for a sportier feel. Meanwhile, the RWD system provides enhanced handling at high speeds and through sharp corners.
In the front and back of the vehicle, there is an independent multi-link suspension with coil springs and a stabilizer bar for a smoother ride experience. Finally, Bilstein shocks soak up any bumps in the road so that you don’t have to feel much of a jarring sensation.
