Here’s our first look at the Malaysian-spec Mazda MX-5, as revealed by a Mazda dealer on Facebook. It just confirms what we already know, of course, as we’ve already seen the complete pricelist/specsheet of the two-seat roadster earlier today. In case you need a reminder, it costs RM220k, without insurance.
That’s a big sum for a small car, but it’s at least very well specified. Included with your new MX-5 are 17-inch wheels, i-ELOOP (brake energy regeneration), lane departure warning, auto adaptive headlamps with high beam control and ABS/EBD/BA/DSC. Also in are keyless entry and push start, MZD Connect with seven-inch screen, auto air-con, cruise control, and a nine-speaker Bose system with seat headrest-mounted speakers.
Again, do remember that the MX-5 will only be available here with a six-speed automatic transmission, with no manual option. Not even as indent orders. The engine, at least, is the more powerful of the two offered internationally – a 2.0 litre SkyActiv petrol motor with 155 hp and 200 Nm of torque.
The ND Mazda MX-5 will be officially launched in Malaysia soon. What do you guys think of the looks, price and specs?

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express disappointment over the high pricing of the Malaysian-spec Mazda MX-5, feeling it is overpriced for its segment and questioning whether it offers good value compared to other sports cars like the Toyota 86 or BMW models. Many highlight the lack of a manual transmission and the absence of a 1.5L variant, which they believe would make the car more affordable and appealing. Several commenters criticize the soft top's practicality in Malaysia's climate and suggest that the car is targeted more at wealthy weekend enthusiasts rather than driving purists. There is also mention of comparison with other brands, expressing frustration over import duties and pricing, alongside opinions that the car's value does not match its price tag. Overall, sentiments lean toward dissatisfaction with the pricing and features offered.
