Mazda MX-5 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1989–1998)

Mazda MX-5 Engines and Transmissions

You get a compact gasoline Mazda MX-5 engine with a rear-wheel-drive drivetrain. The 1.6 AT Roadster uses an automatic transmission for easier commuting, while the 1.8 MT keeps a manual when you want more involvement. Those two are selected examples, not every powertrain offered.
