2016 Mazda MX-5: We're Driving It This Week

The Car Guide recently travelled to California to drive the all-new Mazda MX-5. This new-and-improved version of the world's most popular roadster -lighter and boasting a new chassis- promises more than interesting performance.

While elsewhere the 2016 MX-5 receives a 1.5 litre engine with 129 horsepower on tap, we get a larger engine in North America. With a displacement of 2 litres, this engine has 155 horsepower available and can scoot from 0 to 100 km/h in seven seconds.

We had the chance to get our hands on the European version a while ago, and our journalist Gabriel Gelinas was impressed with this new car, so you can understand why we are excited to try out the larger engine versions.
