Why is the 2022 Mazda MX-5 the Perfect Car for Summer?

The 2022 Mazda MX-5 is a great choice if you are looking for a sporty and fun roadster to drive around in this summer due to a number of attributes.

Two convertible tops to choose from

The 2022 Mazda MX-5 is offered in two different versions which are set apart by the design of their roof. The standard MX-5 is equipped with a manually operated cloth roof that can be operated with one hand without having to get out of the car, which is convenient when you get caught in an unexpected shower. The MX-5 RF comes with a rigid hardtop roof that is electrically operated. At the touch of a button, the tonneau cover lifts up and the roof panel glides in or out of its storage space behind the seats in a few seconds. This model is easily recognizable due to its C-pillars and upright rear window, which are all part of the articulated tonneau cover.

Impressive handling abilities

The 2022 Mazda MX-5 continues to be one of the best handling cars on the market due to its very low weight and its advanced suspension, chassis, and steering tuning. This all combines to make any road fun, especially when there are a number of curves, where the MX-5 really shines in comparison with much more expensive sports cars. The rear-wheel-drive architecture with the 50/50 weight distribution also contributes to the fun character of the MX-5.

Performances that increase the fun

In addition to its famous handling, the 2022 Mazda MX-5 benefits from the 181 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque from its standard 2.0L engine to propel itself to 100 km/h in 6.6 seconds. This level of performance increases the fun factor of the MX-5 by adding another dimension of driving enjoyment to the traditional package and allowing you to exploit the capabilities of the chassis more fully.

Summer in British Columbia is hard on a vehicle that is not built for it. The roads change quickly — from Burnaby's surface streets to gravel forest service tracks north of Squamish, from flat highway straightaways to the switchbacks above Alta Lake. The gear multiplies: bikes, boats, paddleboards, tent bags, coolers, wetsuits. The passengers have opinions about where to sit and how long the...
