Mazda Miata Special Edition



2011 Mazda Miata Special Edition-This 2011 Mazda MX-5 is the first convertible I've been in this summer, and the weather was perfect. Visually, the hardtop gives the Mazda Miata a buttoned-up look, but I was a little surprised that it didn't muffle out the wind noise better. The car feels nimble, and the combination of the six-speed manual transmission and high-revving, 2.0-liter four-cylinder make this car flat-out fun. There's decent jump off the line, and the quick steering response made this car perfect for dodging Michigan potholes and maneuvering through traffic.



Everything on this car is so well tuned from the steering response and feedback, suspension, clutch-pedal take up and slick-shifting manual gearbox. It's hard not to drive the MX-5 hard because the car seemingly demands you to. It does add 82 pounds over the soft top, but the car still behaves like a Mazda Miata should even with that weight up high.



Simply put, driving a Mazda Miata is a pleasure--top-down on a sunny afternoon cruise or terrorizing a local autocross course. Throughout the years, Mazda hasn't diluted the formula for the Mazda Miata too much. With just 2,600 pounds on its bones, the Mazda Miata, even in hardtop form, is still lithe and lean. The acceleration is strong, giving this car plenty of gusto.



The sparkling black metallic paint glittered in the sunlight, giving this particular Mazda Miata more dimension. Operating the hardtop was a cinch. Time spent driving this car made up some of the most fun I had throughout my weekend. EDITOR WES RAYNAL: I'll never turn down a blast in a Mazda Miata, even an over equipped, too-expensive one. Could it be one of the world's best-handling cars? Prices start at $23,110 for the soft-top. I felt as if I was crammed into the Miata Mazda Miata a. It was designed to be a small, lightweight roadster meant for those who loved minimal mechanical complexity and longed for a fun little car.

The Mazda Miata fits this mold perfectly. The car remained composed the whole way through.



The defining characteristic of the MX-5 Miata – beyond its nearly iconic shape – has been its handling, which is in line with the high expectations for such a low, light car. The same applies to the MX-5 Miata's engine. The tested MX-5 Miata comes with a six-speed manual transmission and a stubby, short-throw shifter. The clutch isn't difficult to use – it's friendlier than in some mainstream cars – but this Mazda has little tolerance for sloppiness in gear changes. EPA estimates are awful for a small car – 21 miles per gallon in the city and 28 on the highway – but the tested MX-5 returned a far more reasonable 30.7 mpg.



That mileage is still not stellar, however, for a car wit the MX-5 Miata's specifications – especially considering that it demands premium fuel. The seats on the tested Special Edition model are trimmed in white leather.



In a nod to American tastes, Mazda squeezed four upholders into the Mazda Miata interior, though all are small. The tiny doors also house stretches of mesh that could conceivably serve as pouches for small items; a small glove box and lockable cubby behind the seats round out the car's cabin storage.



The tested Mazda Miata has a hardtop that splits into two pieces to automatically disappear between the seats and trunk. The tested MX-5 Miata, a limited-run “Special Edition” model, seems to eschew the original car's emphasis on attainable driving fun. At $31,720, it's certainly affordable compared to any similar car – a Porsche Boxster, the car most similar to this Mazda's size, shape and handling focus, runs $48,000 and up.



A six-speed automatic transmission – for drivers who want to enjoy the MX-5 Miata's handling and open-top motoring, if not its power train – costs about $1,000 extra, available on all models.



The car was a hot seller 20 years ago; today's car offers the same virtues to the driving enthusiast but much less of the originality that turned heads then.



To help celebrate that occasion, it unveiled the 2011 Mazda Miata Special Edition in Chicago. Only 750 of these commemorative variants will be built, all based on the top-line Grand Touring version of the Power Retractable Hard Top (PRHT) model.



The 2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata is a two-seat roadster that is offered in three trim levels: base Sport, well equipped Touring and premium Grand Touring. In Sport trim, standard features include 16 inch cast aluminum wheels, a black vinyl convertible top with a glass rear window, air-conditioning, cloth seats, a six speaker sound system with a CD/MP3 player and an auxiliary audio jack, a height-adjustable driver seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and power windows and mirrors.



Touring and Grand Touring models can enhance the Miata’s already nimble handling with the Suspension package (only available with a manual transmission), which includes a sport tuned suspension with Brillstein shocks and a limited slip differential. It’s essentially a Grand Touring PRHT with the Premium package and, if it’s a manual transmission, the Suspension package.

The Mazda Miata Special Edition also includes unique exterior and interior colors.

Sport models come standard with a five-speed manual transmission, while touring and Grand Touring models come with a six-speed manual transmission. The six-speed manual and automatic sacrifice only 1 mpg in city mileage.

The MX-5 GT race car continues to challenge convention, taking on the more powerful established race cars from Lotus, BMW and Ferrari.

The success of this year's MX-5 race programme and the popularity of MX-5 GT has lead to the track-inspired 'Black Limited Edition' Mazda MX-5 and Mazda2.

2011 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring AWD Review

2011 Mazda CX-9


Pros
  • Spacious interior for 7 passengers + luggage
  • Sliding second row seats that recline
  • Standard equipment list longer than Snoop Dog’s rap sheet
Cons
  • Exterior is too similar to the less expensive CX-7
  • Interior materials and designs are boring
  • The nav screen is hard to read in sunlight
  • Improved MPG, but not stellar
I always thought the pair of Mazda crossover SUVs, the CX-7 and CX-9, to be some of the most handsome ones on the market when they were introduced back in 2006 as 2007 models. Even in today’s crowded crossover SUV market, the Mazdas are still lookers although the styling is getting a little long in the tooth. While the larger CX-9 shares styling cues with the CX-7, it shares almost nothing else with its smaller sibling. The CX-9 is based on the same platform and shares the same 3.7 liter V6 engine as the Ford Edge/Lincoln MKX, an example of the long-term partnership between Ford and Mazda, which continues even after Ford reduced its stake in the Japanese car maker back in 2008.

2011 Mazda CX-9
Driving Impressions
On paper the CX-9 looks like an exciting ride. A 3.7 liter V6 engine with 273 HP and 270 lb.-ft. of torque, 6-speed sport automatic transmission, and an active torque split all-wheel drive system set some high expectations. Once behind the wheel though, those expectations fell flat. The CX-9 feels sluggish. It feels heavy. Don’t get me wrong, the 3.7 liter is producing significant torque and horsepower, but the CX-9 definitely doesn’t feel like it provides a lot of zoom-zoom, as Mazda likes to say. The power eventually comes on after some hesitation once you really sink your right foot into the floor, but the response is not something you should be happy with. On the freeway, this is even more pronounced, as I accelerated on the onramp to merge with moving traffic. The CX-9 handled rather well for a vehicle this size, however, and steering feel was decently heavy at highway speeds. At highway speeds, the CX-9 feels very stable. You still get the feeling that this is a big vehicle, however.
Styling
As I mentioned, the CX-9 is still a pretty slick looker after all these years. It received the Mazda shield-shaped corporate grille in 2010 but overall appearance has not evolved much at all since the original version in 2007. The 20-inch wheels on the Grand Touring edition are massive and look great on the CX-9, but they also make the ride quality a bit rough.
2011 Mazda CX-9
Although this is a 7-passenger crossover SUV, it doesn’t have that elongated look the full-size SUVs like the Suburban do. Even the other 7-passenger crossovers like the Chevy Traverse look a bit awkward with a long body. Mazda designers managed to hide the size well on the CX-9 with a strategically-placed C pillar and the CX-9 doesn’t appear much longer than the CX-7, which only seats 5.
Its styling is too similar to that of the CX-7, however, and with the competition growing denser in the full-size crossover segment, Mazda would benefit from more aggressive and distinctive styling.

2011 Mazda CX-9
Interior Comfort and Ergonomics
The CX-9 has a long list of standard equipment that one expects on a $40,000 crossover vehicle nowadays, from heated front seats and side mirrors to steering wheel mounted controls. The 8-way power driver seat and Bluetooth® are also standard. Also standard are some not-so-common features, like the separate rear seat climate control unit with top and bottom vents, a nice touch rarely seen on a sub-$40,000 vehicle.
Keyless entry and start button is also standard, as is leather trimmed seats. The seats are comfortable and firm, and the second row seats slide back and forth to give more legroom to the third row seats. Even with the third row seats up, there is still decent luggage room in the back. It is quite easy to slide the second row seats forward to access the third row, with a huge lever on the side of the second row seats and there’s another lever to fold them flat for more cargo room.
2011 Mazda CX-9 front bucket seats are power adjustable
Our tester has the optional moonroof/Bose 10-speaker package, rounding out a nice long list of amenities. The interior materials feel a bit cheap on a $40,000 car, however, and the design and layout looks just like any other Mazda. But this is the top-of-the-line Mazda. The one major complaint I have about the interior is the angle of the navigation screen. It is slanted at an angle that makes it impossible to read in direct sunlight. The funny thing is that there is a tilt option to adjust the screen, but it tilts it in the wrong direction, making it even harder to read.
Value
The CX-9 base Sport trim starts at $29k and has the same 3.7 liter V6 and has FWD. The mileage is slightly better at 17 city/24 highway, while the AWD version gets 16/22. The tester is a Grand Touring edition with AWD and the optional features MSRPs at an even $40,000. These prices are in the same range as the CX-9’s major competitors such as the Ford Explorer, Toyota Highlander, the Chevy Traverse, and the Hyundai Veracruz. The Mazda is the best looker of the bunch, but the styling is starting to feel stale.
Mazda CX-9 navigation system
More Stylish Than a Minivan
If you need a 7-passenger vehicle but don’t want to the bulk and poor fuel efficiency of a full-size SUV, and you hate to be seen driving around a minivan, then a mid- to full-size crossover SUV is your best bet. You don’t get as much storage room as the full-size SUV and you don’t get the convenience of power sliding doors on the minivan, but at least you look more stylish. And if style is important to you, then the Mazda CX-9 should definitely be on the top of your consideration set.

MINAG Mazda is an elegant expression of the stored energy. In Japanese, its name evokes the image of an object and the reflected pulse energy vehicle speed, agility and fiery character. For mining, Mazda designers discussed various aspects of cheetahs as hunting. The head of a cheetah is placed high, while their long legs, powerful and flexible thin body to hold its law so you can quickly change direction at high speed. Mazda designers is to evoke the moment when a pet contract their muscles, ready to sprint and attack on its prey. In addition, a slot may be in either direction, an idea which corresponds to the function of a crossover SUV agile as she nimbly darts in expanding urban landscape.
