It does. I wonder if you can fit in it if you are more than 170 lbs and/or 5'9" tall...

I love it.....and having been a member on Mazda Forums on the past. there is a TON of mods that can done to the drive train.

best part.....from the side, it has a slight resemblance to a small Vette! lol

Flying Miata can make that perform as good as it looks.

Looks good, kind of what I thought a modern Opel GT would look like.

I was thinking that too, an open top GT or a poor mans lotus elise. Wish I had more free time to own something like that since virginia international raceway is practically in our backyard.

well the height part doesn't matter, just retract the top haha

That's a hot looking car. I would definitely go this route over a BRZ any day now that there's a hard top/targa version

If Mazda would just bump up the HP and torque...

Doesn't do anything for me!

5th Gen yes, 6th Gen no...

Targa top is cool, that will be a fun car for someone.

Not with that 5th trunk opening. I can almost get a bottle of detailer spray through it though.
