Hey Loves!
So I got a chance to review this gorgeous 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata! Now to say I was hype is an understatement. This car is a sports car. It's my first time reviewing a sports car and off the bat let me just say... I am 5ft 9ins and this bad boy was LOW to the ground. How ironic I use caps locks to describe how small or low it was. Anyways.... Moving on lol. This is a head turner because like myself and many others we are used to bigger cars. Used to cars whom don't take up such little space. Parking for me was the hardest because of my height I kept thinking there was more to the car than their actually was. Now let's get on to the review.
Driving
This car drove smooth and fast. It was small, quick, and easy to maneuver. I found that when it came to bumps and pot holes, if you can avoid. You feel it extra because you are closer to it.
Gas
I had this car for approximately 9 days. Last 2 days I didn't get to drive around cause of.. well reasons. So I drove all around Queens and Brooklyn and one place in Manhattan. I drove about 200 miles altogether and had to put $20 to fill the tank after the 5th day. I drove more with this car than any other one I had and that's cause of the ease. And how fast and in and out of traffic I was able to be in. All in all I think $20 to fill a tank in Brooklyn with our gas prices isn't as bad as the last car I reviewed. I also wanted to note I used AC and Heat excessively. If you are from or have ever been to New York you know how all over the pace our weather can be.
Navigation/Music
I LOVED the navigation. I found that it was simple and easy. I was able to find out where bridges that I normally wouldn't have the address to were. I found myself throughly enjoying the fact it automatically synced to my phone with the sun and picked up where it left off at. I hate that the system goes to the Sirius XM radio station when you try and change the station on the steering wheel. That was a nuisance.
Seating
As you all know this is a smaller vehicle and it is a two seater. If you are taller than me than this is a spring/summer car for you. The drop down feature made things easier for myself.
Trunk Space
There was a surprising amount of trunk space. I enjoyed the fact there was so much. I thought because it was smaller that it would be really small but it fit my garments, bag and other necessities to some errands I was running.
Interior
My footage of the interior got corrupted but I will describe as best I can. There are two cup holder locations; one behind the drivers right side and one on the left side of the passenger seat. The one behind the drivers arm was a bit uncomfortable for myself. Now also the glove compartment is also behind the arm of the driver and the surround system also. This wasn't a problem for me because I didn't use it. It is a leather interior and very plush leather at that. The gear stick was also well made and gave you a racers feel. There were easy command buttons near the gear stick. Navigation shortcuts, music shortcuts etc.
All in all I loved this little car! I even contemplated getting it for myself as a play thing later down the line. Who knows! What are some vehicles you'd like to see next?
