Few cars put a smile on your face the way the Mazda MX-5 Miata does. With a responsive rear-wheel-drive layout, a retractable top, and a curb weight that keeps every road feeling alive, this roadster is built for drivers who love to drive. At Ray Skillman Northeast Mazda in Indianapolis, IN, we’re ready to help you find the right one for your style and budget.
This roadster has been one of the best-selling two-seaters in the world for over three decades, and the current generation keeps that tradition going strong. A near-perfect front-to-rear weight balance helps it deliver smooth, connected driving whether you’re winding through back roads or heading out on a longer weekend trip.
Every trim is powered by a SKYACTIV-G 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 181 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 151 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm, with a 7,500 rpm redline. A standard six-speed manual transmission is the centerpiece of the experience. Sport and Club models come exclusively with the manual, while Grand Touring models offer a choice between the manual and a six-speed automatic with paddle shifters.
Manual-equipped models tip the scales at just 2,366 pounds, while Grand Touring automatics weigh in around 2,405 pounds. The Club model adds Bilstein dampers, a front shock tower brace, an induction sound enhancer, and an asymmetric limited-slip differential for sharper cornering and better traction right out of the box.
The Mazda MX-5 Miata comes in three trims, each aimed at a different kind of driver. The Sport is a purist’s pick. The Club is built for enthusiasts who want performance extras. And the Grand Touring brings comfort upgrades for daily driving and road trips. Browse our current selection online to see what’s available.
