Muscat: Mazda’s new MX-5 Miata made it to America’s list of best value vehicles, and has won an award for the same in the Sports Car segment.

The all-new MX-5 Miata roadster truly represents Mazda’s ethos and joins a number of top automotive brands in being awarded the 2019 Best Value in America award for desirable and well built vehicles that represent great value for money.       

The Best Value in America Award is determined by measuring cost-of-ownership using eight different cost factors, namely, depreciation, fees & taxes, financing, fuel, insurance, maintenance, opportunity cost and repairs. Taking these factors into consideration the Miata comes out as a winner in the sports car segment.

An improvement on the 2018 model, the all-new Miata comes with a 2.0 liter four-cylinder engine and a potent 181 horsepower compared to last year’s 155. In addition to a powerful and improved engine the Miata is also a fun, exciting roadster that possesses phenomenal handling and gives its driver and passenger an exhilarating open-top experience. The Miata comes furnished with lovely interiors that are fitted with simple controls and an overall intuitive layout. On the whole the MX-5 is a true sports car that not only is an exciting drive but an affordable one as well. Factors such as these are precisely why its value is unparalleled in the market, and is also the reason why the MX-5 makes it into America’s list of best valued vehicles.

Based on Mazda’s philosophy of designing cars to be more human centric, Mazda has gone ahead and enhanced the Miata’s fundamental driving attributes such that accelerating, turning and braking feel completely natural. The all-new MX-5 also possesses a harmony to it that many vehicles today simply do not possess.

According to Towell Auto Centre (TAC), the sole distributor of Mazda vehicles in the Sultanate of Oman, “The newly launched MX-5 is a joy to drive. Over its four generations, the MX-5 has remained an enthralling and exceptional lightweight beauty of a sports car.

In addition to all of this, the MX-5’s affordability sees it easily named in the awards list for America’s best valued vehicles.
