L\u2019histoire de la Mazda MX-5 souvent surnomm\u00e9e \u00ab Miata \u00bb commence en 1989 avec la naissance d\u2019un petit roadster aux phares avant escamotables qui perdurera au catalogue pendant pr\u00e8s de 10 ans. Avec ses 940 kg, la premi\u00e8re MX-5 d\u00e9montre toute la l\u00e9gitim\u00e9 du label \u00ab light is right \u00bb en procurant de jolies sensations \u00e0 travers des motorisations modestes. Si les deux g\u00e9n\u00e9rations suivantes ne virent pas de grandes modifications esth\u00e9tiques, le poids a pris l\u2019ascenseur pour atteindre jusqu\u2019\u00e0 1\u2019200 kg dans la 3\u00e8me g\u00e9n\u00e9ration.<\/p>\n

En 2015, tout change avec la nouvelle MX-5 pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e au Salon de Gen\u00e8ve : le poids diminue pour se retrouver en-dessous de 1\u2019100 kg, et pour la premi\u00e8re fois depuis sa cr\u00e9ation, le design est renouvel\u00e9 : du capot aux boucliers en passant par les feux, rien ne rappelle les Mazda MX-5 pr\u00e9c\u00e9dentes. Heureusement, les dimensions restent contenues : avec une longueur de 3.91m, c\u2019est la plus courte des Miata !<\/p>\n

L\u2019habitacle de la nouvelle MX-5 n\u2019est pas en reste et affiche un net progr\u00e8s en termes de finitions. Il propose un bon \u00e9quilibre entre les parties fonc\u00e9es et les commandes \u00e0 la finition alu bross\u00e9. Malgr\u00e9 son prix attractif, aucune fausse note n\u2019est \u00e0 d\u00e9plorer. Les commandes tombent bien sous la main et le volant est agr\u00e9able \u00e0 prendre en main. Les si\u00e8ges de s\u00e9ries en cuir sur la version Revolution sont de tr\u00e8s bonne facture, tandis que les semi-baquets Recaro en option (CHF 3’000.-) apportent encore un plus au niveau du maintien et du rendu visuel.<\/p>\n

Pour faire connaissance avec cette Mazda, nous avons la chance de nous trouver sur le circuit de l\u2019Anneau du Rhin, un trac\u00e9 plut\u00f4t rapide de 3.7 km. L’exp\u00e9rience commence en tant que passager avec un moniteur dipl\u00f4m\u00e9 au volant \u2013 Stefen \u2013 qui me d\u00e9montre les capacit\u00e9s dynamiques de la voiture tout en commentant ses trajectoires. Je prends ensuite place derri\u00e8re le volant, du moins j’essaie… Le volant n’est pas r\u00e9glable en profondeur, et mon gabarit haut de 195 cm fait qu’il me sera impossible de trouver une position de conduite confortable, le casque jouant le r\u00f4le de rotule entre mon cr\u00e2ne et la capote, celle-ci \u00e9tant impos\u00e9e pour l’essai en conduite “active”. On n’est jamais trop prudent!<\/p>\n

D\u00e8s le premier tour men\u00e9 \u00e0 allure de s\u00e9nateur, je d\u00e9couvre un moteur tr\u00e8s volontaire \u00e0 bas et mi-r\u00e9gimes, conf\u00e9rant \u00e0 l’auto \u00e0 la fois souplesse et impression d’en avoir\u00a0sous le pied. La commande de bo\u00eete est ferme. La direction est bien calibr\u00e9e, pr\u00e9cise et directe, mais avare en remont\u00e9e d’information. La sonorit\u00e9 est joliment travaill\u00e9e, et il me d\u00e9mange de pouvoir exploiter pleinement les capacit\u00e9s du moteur et du ch\u00e2ssis, ce que je vais pouvoir faire progressivement d\u00e8s le 2\u00e8me tour.<\/p>\n

Plus j’en demande au ch\u00e2ssis et plus l’impression que j’avais en passager se confirme : malgr\u00e9 les amortisseurs Bilstein mont\u00e9s\u00a0de s\u00e9rie sur cette version Revolution, le roulis est tr\u00e8s prononc\u00e9, induisant des transferts de poids non d\u00e9sir\u00e9s. Mais n\u2019oublions pas qu\u2019il s\u2019agit d\u2019une voiture de s\u00e9rie et qui plus est mont\u00e9e ici avec les semi-slicks Yokohama Advan A048R, dont le grip est r\u00e9solument excellent\u00a0; nul doute que des pneus conventionnels agiraient comme des fusibles et ne permettraient pas de prendre autant le ch\u00e2ssis en d\u00e9faut.<\/p>\n

En tirant les rapports \u00e0 fond, la sonorit\u00e9 est pleine mais je reste sur ma faim : certes, les 160 ch sont bien l\u00e0, mais le temp\u00e9rament volontaire du bloc a tendance \u00e0 s\u2019estomper au-dessus de 5\u2019500 trs\/min, et il n\u2019est pas utile d\u2019aller chercher le rupteur plac\u00e9 \u00e0 6\u2019800 trs\/min. S’agissant d’un moteur atmosph\u00e9rique, je m’attendais \u00e0 un peu plus d’entrain \u00e0 l’approche de la zone rouge, mais il se peut que les 4 cylindres ne soient pas encore totalement lib\u00e9r\u00e9s. L\u2019\u00e9tagement de la bo\u00eete est en revanche optimal et devrait permettre de prendre plaisir sur la route sans que cela tire \u00ab trop long \u00bb comme sur beaucoup de voitures actuelles, fait li\u00e9 \u00e0 la consommation de carburant.<\/p>\n

Aux limites, la Mazda MX-5 est une auto qui se pilote et demande un minimum de rigueur\u00a0: pour \u00e9viter tout sous-virage \u00e0 la relance, il est n\u00e9cessaire de conserver du frein jusqu\u2019au point de corde pour inscrire id\u00e9alement le train avant, avant de ressortir pied au plancher pour enrouler l\u00e9g\u00e8rement\u00a0: le pied\u00a0! Sans faire d\u2019appel contre-appel il est difficile de prendre en d\u00e9faut le train arri\u00e8re dont la motricit\u00e9 impressionne gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la pr\u00e9sence d’un diff\u00e9rentiel \u00e0 glissement limit\u00e9. Ceci dit,\u00a0il est probable que sur un rev\u00eatement non gomm\u00e9, les 160ch en d\u00e9cideraient autrement\u00a0!<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s quelques tours au volant de la MX-5 et connaissant d\u00e9j\u00e0 la piste, le chrono indique que je fais d\u00e9j\u00e0 jeux \u00e9gal avec Stefen, ce qui montre \u00e0 quel point l\u2019auto se prend facilement en main et rassure son conducteur aux limites de par son \u00e9quilibre et son comportement. Car malgr\u00e9 le roulis, la coque est rigide et ne se d\u00e9sunit pas, m\u00eame \u00e0 rythme \u00e9lev\u00e9. Les freins eux aussi mettent en confiance\u00a0: mordant et endurance sont au rendez-vous, du moins sur 4-5 tours men\u00e9s \u00e0 bon rythme, Stefen m\u2019invitant \u00e0 reprendre la direction des stands pour reposer quelque peu la m\u00e9canique\u2026 avant la session suivante\u00a0!<\/p>\n
