The MX-5 – known colloquially as the Miata in North America – has been known since its launch in 1989 as one of the most fun and most affordable cars for people who want a little more performance.

In SHIFT, you’ll have access to the 2008 MX-5, which has a 2-liter engine that churns out 170 horsepower mated to a six-speed manual transmission.

Unfortunately, you can’t drop the top in SHIFT, but you won’t get all those pesky speeding tickets you’d get burning down the highway with a grin if you had a real MX-5.
