Mazda 2 1.6 95 vs Mazda MX-5 Grand Touring Mk III facelift

Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the Mazda MX-5 Grand Touring Mk III facelift is the quicker car, covering it in 15.49 s at 90.1 mph against the Mazda 2 1.6 95’s 17.77 s — a margin of 2.28 s. To 60 mph the Mazda MX-5 Grand Touring Mk III facelift takes 7.00 s and the Mazda 2 1.6 95 10.39 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass, rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

The Mazda MX-5 Grand Touring Mk III facelift. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 15.49 s to the Mazda 2 1.6 95's 17.77 s, a margin of 2.28 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 7.00 s against 10.39 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the Mazda 2 1.6 95 0-60 time?
The Mazda 2 1.6 95 reaches 60 mph in 10.39 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 17.77 s at 77.0 mph.
What is the Mazda MX-5 Grand Touring Mk III facelift 0-60 time?
The Mazda MX-5 Grand Touring Mk III facelift reaches 60 mph in 7.00 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.49 s at 90.1 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The Mazda 2 1.6 95 trips the lights at 77.0 mph and the Mazda MX-5 Grand Touring Mk III facelift at 90.1 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 2 of 2 for the Mazda 2 1.6 95 and 9 of 9 for the Mazda MX-5 Grand Touring Mk III facelift. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
