| | Test Drive: MazdaSpeed MX-5 |
 | | Interestingly enough, the North American MazdaSpeed MX-5 has no Miata badges on it, and the regular Miata makes no reference to the MX-5 label that is applied to the Miata in Europe (in Asia, the car is known simple as the Roadster). |
 | | The red seats and silver gauges are unique to the MazdaSpeed model; most noticeable is the tachometer with a 6,500 rpm redline, down from 7,000 rpm in the normal Miata. |
 | | It appears MazdaSpeed has succeeded in making a faster, better-handling Miata without destroying the outstanding balance and fun-to-drive qualities that have made the Miata such a success over the years, and also without resorting to silly boy-racer fluff. |
