Mazda MX-5 has a manual transmission. A manual transmission is a type of gearbox used to alter the engine's speed and torque transmitted to the drive wheels, enabling the vehicle to achieve varying traction and speed under different conditions such as starting from a standstill, climbing hills, turning corners, and accelerating. It also allows the engine to operate within a more favorable range. The Mazda MX-5 is a sports car under the Mazda brand, equipped with a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine that delivers a maximum power of 158 horsepower and a peak torque of 200 Nm. It features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block, paired with either a manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The front suspension of the Mazda MX-5 employs a double-wishbone independent suspension, while the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension.
