All the Gauges You Need - 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Convertible Long-Term Road Test
Our 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata has it easy. With such a singular mission, it can keep things simple, which probably explains why it has some of the best gauges I've seen in a long time.

Low-hp 4-cylinder with manual shifter. Gonna be watching that tach a lot; even on the street.
Slow car fast.
Most every other car I see your point.
This gauge cluster works for me! It's classic and modern at the same time.

Unfortunate, since "Lights On For Safety" is standard practice and all the more important in a wee-itty-bitty vehicle that's all too easy to overlook.
Daytime visibility aside, oil pressure's a vital indicator of engine health. NA's was correctly implemented and positioned. NB's was a badly implemented, but properly positioned "Analog Idiot Light". ND's taken TWO steps backwards in this regard.
Baphomet forbid Mazda delivers Miatas undeserving of aftermarket tweaks!
Fuel cutoff solenoids exist for a reason. It's a called "rev limiter" or "upshift indicator", depending...
I've only test-driven brand new vehicles, so I've not tested said functionality.
Anyone who's done the experiment should chime in now.
2. The audio enhancement engineering provides all necessary shift cues.
3. The 6500 rpm fuel cutoff *enforces* upshift requirements.
I'd like an older Miata for boulevard cruising and good mpg would be a nice bonus.
