Mazda Miata MX-5

Mazda Miata MX-5A few months ago, a terrific Mazda MX-5 Miata was delivered for our weekly test drive. Maybe I am partial to the Miata sports cars, but I truly enjoy them every time I am able to have a lengthy test drive. Judy is definitely not a sports car aficionada, but accepted the week with a gracious attitude.
Mazda Miata MX-5By most accounts, the MX-5 Miata is ranked at the top or near the top of every pick of affordable sports cars. Consumer Reports puts it as a "Top Recommendation." Car and Driver rates it among their "10 Best". The key word here is "affordable." If you are a sports car enthusiast on a tight budget, this MX-5 Miata might be your dream car.
Mazda Miata MX-5Mazda refreshed the Miata for their 2009 model, so the 2010 edition had very little changes. The soft top Miata is available in three trim levels - Sport, Touring, and Grand Touring. Our test model was the Grand Touring model. It sported a beautiful Copper Red Mica exterior color, with a Beige interior. The Grand Touring model also has the option of an automatic retractable hardtop. Fortunately, the test model included this feature. It operates so easily and so efficiently. Retractable hardtops are not new, but for a small sports car, they are very convenient, allowing almost instant enjoyment of the open top.
Mazda Miata MX-5The interior of the Miata is adequate, but nothing exceptional. The cabin is generally considered cramped for taller drivers. It didn't bother me at all. The dashboard sets rather high and the seat does not raise too much, so short drivers might have to stretch some to see out the front. The test model had all the anticipated features plus a few nice extras such as the automatic dimming rear view mirrors. The leather seats were heated, which is always a great feature.
Mazda Miata MX-5Performance wise, the Miata is always fun to drive and it is almost like being on a skateboard or roller skates. It changes directions almost instantly with a slight touch of the steering wheel. It consistently gives the driver the thrill of holding the road on sharp turns or movements. It can instantly transport your mind onto the curves high above the Mediterranean while you imagine you are competing in the famed Monte Carlo.

Lamborghini Car Show and Girl

Lamborghini Car Show and GirlUnlike many of the other European cars, Lamborghini did not enter the racing circuit for a long time. This is because the first owner did not see the sports circuit as a profitable business and he believed it was expensive. Lamborghini's did sporadically enter the racing circuit and did well.

Extreme Cyber Cars Automotive Concept

Extreme Cyber Cars  Automotive ConceptConcept cars is a term that the majority of car owners or drivers know nothing about. I had always thought that a concept auto was the clay model that is made for a new car style. That's nowhere near close, because concept cars are actual real cars built and ready to drive. A concept vehicle is a show car or prototype meant to be driven around to showcase a new concept, style, technology, etc.
Extreme Cyber Cars  Automotive ConceptConcept cars have extreme or radical engines, designs, materials, layouts, doors or things not found on production cars. Most concept cars never get past the scale model or computer drawings. A small numbers of concept vehicles are actually fully functional and some can't even move faster than 10 mph safely.
A concept vehicle that I would never want to see in production is the Ford Nucleon, a nuclear powered car. MIT worked with Frank Gehry to develop the MIT Car concept vehicle.
