Iconic Return For Mazda MX5
Mazda re-introduced a patriotic special edition of the iconic Mazda MX5 in time for summer motoring.
The appropriately named Mazda MX5 Icon is available in Red, White and Blue reflecting the fact that Mazda is Britain's favourite sports car brand - delivering one in every four sports cars sold in the UK this year.
While the news is bad for the competition, it's great news for the roadster enthusiast where value for money is concerned. This latest edition is packed to the hilt with over £1500 of additional features, including climate control air-conditioning, Icon-branded black Medici leather seats and unique Icon-branded luxury interior mats.
Available in two engine sizes, 1.8i (126ps) and 2.0i (160 ps), the Icon also has unique exterior 'Icon' badging and a rather neat set of chrome style bar trims, an accessory that would normally set you back a £100.
As well as adding the special Icon features, generous standard equipment of the MX-5 ensures that buyers can enjoy: leather wrapped steering wheel, gear knob and handbrake, six-speaker audio system, electric windows, premium black cloth soft-top, 16-inch alloy wheels, twin chrome exhaust tail pipes and a Thatcham Category 1 alarm and immobiliser.
It's not the first time the Icon has blessed our roads as Mazda introduced the original Mk 2 MX5 Icon back in April 2000 in Art Vin Red mica paint, polished alloy wheels and biege leather interior. Building only 750 units in total for the UK. They then re-issued the model in the Mk3 in February 2005, this time in Chilli Orange, Black Mica, Titanium Grey and Sunlight Silver. Again with a host of goodies like leather interior, heated seats and the like.
Like its predecessor's, the Icon will be strictly limited in numbers, with 875 1.8i's and 375 2.0i's in production in the UK. The price is looking good too, with the 1.8i starting at £16,825 and the 2.0i at £17,825. Amazing isn't it when you think back in 2000, the original Icon cost £19,200 on the road and the 2005 model £17,100, both of which had inferior specifications.
