The 2016 Mazda MX-5 GT (Grand Touring) with a manual transmission is the pinnacle of driving enjoyment in a compact, lightweight roadster. It exemplifies Mazda’s “Jinba Ittai” philosophy—meaning “horse and rider as one”—delivering a highly connected, visceral driving experience. Under the hood is a peppy 2.0L Skyactiv-G 4-cylinder engine producing 155 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque, paired with a smooth-shifting 6-speed manual transmission that makes every gear change a delight.

The GT trim adds premium touches to the iconic MX-5 design, including leather-trimmed heated seats, a Bose® 9-speaker premium sound system, automatic climate control, and integrated navigation. Advanced safety features include blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive front-lighting.

Weighing just over 2,300 pounds, the MX-5 offers razor-sharp handling, near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution, and a responsive chassis. The manually operated soft top can be easily folded down in seconds, letting you enjoy open-air driving at its finest.

Sleek lines, LED headlights, and stylish 17-inch alloy wheels complete the package, making the MX-5 GT not just a thrill to drive, but also a head-turner on any road. It’s the perfect car for purists who crave simplicity, engagement, and timeless roadster charm
