Mazda 2009 MX-5 MIATA Brochure & Specs page 8

To precisely determine which shifter positions were the most comfortable and
efficient, Mazda engineers used multiple biosensors to study driver interaction
within a wide range of different locations—all to help ensure that shifting gears
in an MX-5 Miata is a nearly effortless interaction between man and machine.

Welcome to the MX-5 Miata's redesigned cockpit. Command central for one of the most responsive and fun-to-drive
sports cars ever to honor the twisty road. The MX-5 Miata's high-bolstered, competition-inspired seat hugs you
into an ideal driving position. Providing optimum support and comfort. Full instrumentation, with a clear line
of sight to the gauge cluster, dials your inner let's-go meter all the way to ten. And the pedals are
strategically positioned for faster, more efficient heel-and-toe action. MX-5 Miata's classic three-
spoke, tilt-adjustable steering wheel, its short-throw gearshift and everything else you
touch have been micromanaged into perfect car and driver oneness. There is
exhilaration to be tapped in this car like never before. And it all starts here.
