Mazda MX-5

'Jinbai Ittai' - Rider and Horse as one.

Reflecting the very essence of the Zoom-Zoom spirit, the MX-5 captures the feeling of the symbiotic relationship between car and driver unlike any other vehicle. Generated by the movement and expression of body contours, the MX-5's athletic muscularity screams out sports to all that see it. For those that drive it, superior handling, stability & nimbleness all typify the MX-5's character.

Available as either a soft top or fully automatic retractable hard-top coupe, the MX-5 aims to satisfy more than just the unemotional sports car elements such as power output, but rather delivers an entire package which fulfils the fundamental desires of true light-weight sports car enthusiasts.

Like that of "Jinba Ittai" the MX-5 combines the ultimate in balance and harmony, demonstrating for all to see the embodiment of Zoom-Zoom.
