BRADENTON, Fla. - Oct. 29, 2013 - PRLog -- Fans of the ever-popular Miata roadster are in for a big treat at Cox Mazda, as the premier Mazda dealer near Tampa (http://www.coxmazda.com/cities/tampa-fl/) is now featuring the 2014 MX-5 Miata in their showroom. A fun-to-drive, open-top, lightweight roadster, the 2014 Miata has all the distinctive sporty styling and impeccable performance credentials that make it a fully capable and thrilling ride on the highway or the track.

This compact 2-seat sports car offers a unique mixture of performance and refinement. Available with a soft-top or a power retractable hardtop, the new 2014 Mazda MX-5 (http://www.coxmazda.com/models/2014-mazda-mx-5-miata/) is offered in Sport, Club, and Grand Touring models.

Great handling and responsive steering provide exceptional driving dynamics backed up by a standard 2.0L, 16-valve, 4-cylinder engine with variable valve timing that produces 167 hp and 140 lb-ft of torque.
