This past weekend, the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA) hosted its annual Texas Auto Roundup. More than 60 automotive journalists from across the country flocked to the Texas Motor Speedway to judge more than 50 vehicles in 17 categories.
The MX-5 Miata was evaluated in the Performance Compact category in which it faced stiff competition from brands from Germany and Italy. Quicker and more nimble than its predecessor, the 2016 MX-5 includes the entire suite of SKYACTIV technologies. This, along with Mazda's elegant KODO--Soul of Motion design language, gave the Miata the edge it needed to win the segment.
“The Mazda MX-5’s combination of exterior, interior finish, delightful performance and overall appeal equated to one of the highest scoring vehicles in any category in this year’s Roundup, and just short of the overall Car of Texas award. To say the journalists were impressed is an understatement,” said Nic Phillips, TAWA president. “Given the competitive class, let alone the entire field, everyone at Mazda has a right to be proud. Not only that, our journalists also gave it the highest value score of any car at the event.”
