The S Limited was one of the more desirable models released in the early 90s. This edition of the Roadster was based on the high specification S Special model and went on sale in Japan at the end of 1992. The main selling point was its unique black/red/gold colour combination.
The S Limited used the 120 PS 1.6 litre engine with 5-speed gearbox with 4.3 final gear. Specification included unique 14" 6J BBS multi-spoke alloy wheels with gold coloured centres, upgraded suspension featuring yellow Bilstein dampers and matching yellow suspension tower brace, premium sound system with headrest speakers, red leather seats, red carpets and interior trim, stainless door speaker surrounds, and Roadster branded stainless sill plates. The car was only available painted in Brilliant Black and production was limited to 1000.
The eight-speaker premium Pioneer stereo included the Mazda Sensory Sound System (MSSS) which added bass transducers in the seats. These were not speakers as such, they just produced vibration in response to low frequency sounds allowing the occupants to feel a song's bassline.
