2006 Mazda MX-5 Miata Performance and Engine

A Rewarding Rear-Wheel Drive Experience

Under the hood, this Miata is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive — a setup that delivers the kind of balanced, engaging driving feel that has made the MX-5 famous worldwide. The 2.0-liter engine in the NC-generation Miata produces around 166 horsepower and was a significant upgrade over the earlier 1.8-liter unit. Rear-wheel drive means the Miata handles curves and canyon roads with a natural, communicative feel that front-wheel drive cars simply can't match. Whether you're navigating the winding roads of the East Bay hills or cruising along Highway 4, this car is genuinely fun to drive every single day.

The soft-top convertible roof drops quickly and easily, making impromptu top-down drives a simple pleasure. The Sport trim also includes air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, cruise control, and a solid audio setup — everything a real driver needs without unnecessary weight from extra features.

The interior ergonomics of the NC-generation Miata are particularly well-executed. Everything is angled toward the driver, giving this car a cockpit-like feel that makes even short commutes feel like an event.
