Mazda MX-5 Engines and Transmissions
A typical Mazda MX-5 engine here is a gasoline 1.8, as in the 1.8 MT Roadster. That powertrain sends drive to the rear wheels through a manual transmission, keeping the drivetrain light and involving. Treat this setup as an example of the generation, not the complete lineup.
