For 2007 the 2006 HP rating of 170 was downrated to166 horsepower due to governmental testing procedures. The 2.0L four-cylinder engine, mated to either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic, transmission remains as it was when introduced in 2006.

 

166 horsepower 2.0L four-cylinder engine mated to either a five speed manual, six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.

 

For 2007 Mazda introduced the amazing Power Retractable Hard Top, referred to as the PRHT. The PRHT featured an aluminum top that retracts into the same space occupied by the soft top with no loss of trunk space and with only an 80 pound weight penalty. With the PRHT though, the behind the seat storage compartments are not available as the top mechanisms take up the space needed for the compartments. The rear of the PRHT featured unique rear fenders and trunk lid so Soft Top rear lip spoilers, fuel lids and such do not fit., PRHT specific parts are required.
