Mazda MX-5 1.6i


How It Looks - Interior

The interior styling of the MX-5 is crisp and uncluttered. The elegant black cabin is simple and functional. The round air-vents are unobtrusive as is the speedometer and tachometer which have white dials with amber illumination and retro chrome rims.

The centre console arrangement includes integral cup holders, ash tray and a cigarette lighter which are all within easy reach. The gear lever is also perfectly positioned within the console for precision gear changes.
