2006-2008 Mazda MX-5: Year-to-Year Changes

2007 Mazda Miata/MX-5 : Retractable-hardtop versions of Mazda's sports car became available for 2007. The solid roof opened or closed in 12 seconds and stole no luggage space, though it added 77 pounds to the car's weight. Mazda continued to offer a removable hardtop for soft-top models. This year's lineup included the SV (soft-top only), along with Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring models, each of which could have either a fabric top or the new retractable hardtop. Mazda's four-cylinder engine made 170 horsepower with a manual gearbox, but 166 hp with an automatic transmission. SV and Sport models had a five-speed manual; others, six-speed. All but the SV could have the six-speed automatic with paddle shifters.

2008 Mazda Miata/MX-5 : The 2008 Mazda MX-5, which was also known as the Miata, was largely unchanged.
