With its cramped cabin, two seats and limited cargo space, the Mazda MX-5 Miata is one of the most impractical and clunky vehicles around. But despite its shortcomings, more than a million people have bought it since its release in the late 1980s.
Trying to expand the audience for a sports car, the Japanese manufacturer released a right-hand drive version of the Self-empowerment Driving Vehicle.
This Miata is sold with a standard targa style cloth roof or RF specification and is adapted for people with disabilities. Usually minivans are converted for such people, but for some, driving an MX-5 is much more interesting than a family car.
Changes include a control lever next to the center console. In fact, this is a lever that replaces the gas and brake pedals. How it works? The driver pulls to accelerate and pushes to decelerate. In addition, an additional “rotary knob” is mounted on the steering wheel, which allows you to operate the car with one hand.
Owners can store the stroller in the passenger seat. A cover is available for it, as well as side support, which makes it easier to get in and out. Of course, such an MX-5 is sold exclusively with a six-speed automatic transmission.
