Mazda Roadster (NC). 2005–14 (prod. 78,339 to end of 2006, incl. 2005 NB production). 2-door convertible, 2-door coupé-convertible. F/R, 1798, 1999 cm³ (I4 DOHC). More aggressive styling on platform related to that of Mazda RX-8, with front wishbone–rear multi-link suspension. Traction and stability control added. Weight minimized despite additional equipment, with light and stiff body; increase around 10 kg over NB on average. Retractable hardtop model announced 2006, with extra 36 kg. Considered very nimble and sporting, losing none of the driveability of original.
