Mazda MX-5
Available in new colours for 2010, the MX-5 improves year after year. Sales have been going up ever since the introduction of a hardtop roof last year. The small roadster is treated this year to a few aesthetic tweaks, but a redesigned version should be presented in the near future. Until then, it remains the same mechanically, though air intake has been modified in order to obtain more power and a more inspiring sound. Because of the MX-5’s lightweight, the 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine offers good performances.
