The upgraded and cosmetically refreshed MX-5 will arrive at Mazda's UK dealerships this April with prices starting from £16,345 for the soft-top model and from £18,345 for the Roadster Coupe with the retractable hardtop. For 2009, MX-5's UK customers have a choice of four powertrains, all of which have been fine-tuned to use less fuel. These include the 126HP 1.8-liter and the 160HP 2.0-liter with five-speed gearbox, the 160HP 2.0i-liter with a six-speed manual gearbox and the new 160HP 2.0-liter 'PowerShift' six-speed sequential paddle-shift auto transmission.
All 2009 MY MX-5s come with alloy wheels, a leather steering wheel, gear knob and hand-brake, plus an MP3-compatible audio system with six speakers and a new auxiliary (AUX) input jack for MP3 and iPod connection. The 2.0i models feature DSC (dynamic stability control), TCS (traction control system), a Limited Slip Differential and side airbags. Climate control air conditioning is a £550 option on these models.
The Sport models (priced from £19,695) are equipped with new 17-inch alloy wheels, uprated Bilstein dampers, a front suspension strut bracing bar, a six-speed manual transmission, front fog lamps and heated leather seats. New specification additions include climate control air conditioning, cruise control, a premium BOSE audio system with 6-CD changer and seven speakers, and Bluetooth technology with voice recognition for hands-free telephoning.
