MAZDA MX-5 2009
UPGRADED MAZDA MX-5 SET TO ARRIVE AT
T W White and Sons
The eight-strong range of upgraded Mazda MX-5 sportscars will soon be arriving at T W White and Sons in Surrey, South London and Kent. Both the soft-top and Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupe bodystyles have a fresh design and an enhanced chassis to improve the model's legendary agility and controllability even further.
"The latest upgrades to the 2009 Mazda MX-5 range will ensure the sports car will continue to offer the purest, fun-to-drive thrills," commented Gordon Parker Mazda franchise manager at T W White and Sons "Both models carry-over the key features which have made the Mazda MX-5 the world's best-selling sportscar. Today, they are unrivalled as rewarding roadsters that can also be used for everyday motoring all year round."
The upgraded range will be introduced into the showrooms in April and will offer customers a choice of four powertrains which have all been fine-tuned to use less fuel and reduce CO2 emissions. Also new for 2009 is the 160ps 2.0i ‘PowerShift' six-speed sequential paddle-shift transmission with full-auto mode, with gear changes achieved by operating the paddles behind the steering wheel - just like an F1 racecar.
Prices for the upgraded Mazda MX-5 soft-top range will start from £16,345. The upgrade means that every Mazda MX-5 comes with alloy wheels, a leather steering wheel, gear knob and hand-brake, plus an MP3-compatible audio system with six speakers and a new auxiliary (AUX) input jack for MP3 and iPod connection. The 2.0i models (from £17,345), feature DSC (dynamic stability control), TCS (traction control system), a Limited Slip Differential and side airbags.
Sport models (priced from £19,695) are equipped with new 17-inch alloy wheels, uprated Bilstein dampers, a front suspension strut bracing bar, a six-speed manual transmission, front fog lamps and heated leather seats. New specification additions include climate control air conditioning, cruise control, a premium BOSE® audio system and Bluetooth® technology with voice recognition for hands-free telephoning.
The Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupe range starts at £18,345 and boasts the world's fastest powered retractable hard top - up or top-down in just 12 seconds. The 2009 Mazda MX-5 Roadster Coupe now has several additional features including a new mesh-type front grille surrounded by a chrome-look edge trim, headlamps with chrome bezels and exterior door handles with a chrome-finish. The cabin is also better insulated with interior noise reduced by a significant 2.7dB at 37 mph.
Customers will be able to purchase the upgraded Mazda MX-5 from T W White and Sons in a choice of seven body colours - including two new colours (Aluminium Silver Metallic and Metropolitan Grey Mica). Aluminium Silver Metallic contains aluminium particles that diffuse light and cause diverse kinds of reflections and shadow, depending on light conditions. Carried over colours are Copper Red Mica and Stormy Blue Mica as well as solid colours Brilliant Black and True Red.
