New MX-5 2016

[Observer]

prefer duplex exhaust set up

Not bad... looks like a Z4.

[ahboy86]

nice car.

 

This KODO design language has been doing wonders for the marque.

 

I don't need one but I want one!

[Notsogoodman]

Is this the one that was created as a joint venture with Alfa?

 

Not joint venture, the car is Mazda's own development. Mazda will be sharing the chassis with Alfa (Alfa will use their own exterior, interior, engine, gearbox)....

Received quotations from a reputable PI:

 

All 1.5 litre; have not factored in CEVS rebates but inclusive of COE:

 

Type S 6 speed manual $138,800

Type S Special Package 6 speed manual $146,800

Type S Leather Package 6 speed manual $156,800

Type S Special Package Auto $149,800

Type S Leather Auto $159,800

Saw the Type S Special Package equipment levels; quite fantastic with all the MZD Connect and some other goodies etc.

 

Considering but not in a hurry. Heard Eurokars is bringing in a 2.0 MX5 later in the year.

 

Note that the 1.5 MX5 has 131 hp on paper, not dyno tested yet; so i assume it's going to be a Cat B car. If the 2.0 uses the same 14:1 Skyactive G 2.0, then it might have at least 165hp, also Cat B.

 

Will be interesting to see how Eurokars price this car. I guess levels of equipment, like the Mazdas of late, should be high.

Actually SG dont have the roads where you can enjoy this car.

This car is for long roads with bends and isnt a pocket rocket either.

With traffic getting from bad to worse, i dont think it will be popular.

Seeing how Mazda cars are priced locally, I reckon the 2.0L version by AD would be around $185-190k at least assuming COE doesn't fluctuate too much.

[Little_prince]

wow. 150k for this is very competitive.

 

i can see it being very popular if the price is correct

[Watwheels]

Insurance for such cars are always priced at ridiculous premiums. That's why you do not even see much of the current version of the mx-5 on the roads.

I'm looking at BRZ/86 which is around 150 to 160k. Honestly, i will prefer to take those since it is a 2+2, bigger engine and more horsepower. MX-5 1.5 if priced around lower end of 130k should be more attractive to potential buyers.

I was quoted ard 200 to 300 hundred more than a normal car for a 50% ncd. I think the premium is still manageable.
