Its classic style does not change. The relatively long bonnet, the short rear end, its low height, the long wheelbase and the large tyres combine to create a timeless appearance. The current version is a convertible with gentle lines that are clearly in the Mazda style, with a large air intake, attractive headlights and its characteristic bonnet. It is now available, for the revamped version, with 16��five spoke alloy wheels (only for Sportive 1.8 litre) which, together with a lower design on the door panels, emphasise the elegant sports nature of the car�s silhouette.
