Mazda Miata Parts

The Mazda Miata, or the MX-5, has always been popular with people who love to drive. Since 1989, this classic sports car has been a dream for many. The first model was called NA and had a 1.6-liter engine that made 116 hp. This was paired with either a five-speed manual transmission or an optional automatic. The sleek design of the job came with performance-oriented features like four-wheel disc brakes and alloy wheels. In 1998, they released the second-generation model NB, and it had some changes made to it. Its body was slightly wider than its predecessor and featured fixed headlights along with an upgraded 1.8L engine that pushed the top speed over 120 mph (193 km/h). Then, in 2004, variable valve timing was added for increased horsepower. The third generation of the Mazda Miata is called NC and was launched in 2005. It offered more power from its larger 2.0L MZR I4 engine and came available with advanced transmissions like five- or six-speed manuals and a six-speed automatic gearbox, which is great for those who don't like shifting gears manually all the time. Another thing introduced in this generation of the Miata was a coupe convertible that had a three-piece folding hardtop, greatly blending performance with practicality. Without changing too much about what worked on previous models, they refined their latest creation, ND, by focusing on lightweight design and driver engagement while maintaining around 200 horsepower. The only change they made here was adding a mild hybrid system to boost the Miata's fuel economy without sacrificing any of their signature driving dynamics. Mazda's commitment to making affordable cars that are truly fun makes this two-seat convertible sports car interesting. And as of now, the Mazda Miata still holds onto its title as the "best-selling two-seat convertible sports car in history.".

Through different models, the Mazda Miata has had some major problems. These issues have impacted how durable and safe it is, as well as owner satisfaction. One of the biggest problems comes with AC compressor failure, especially in the 2012 model. When driven on roads with debris, this failure will be costly to repair and exceed $1,000 in expenses. Another notable issue is paint chipping for the 2016 Miata model when driven under normal conditions, which leads to repairs costing roughly $3,000. This suggests that their paint application or quality may need some work. Lastly, a big concern with one of their models is the dangerous clear coat delamination that happened in 2000, which would require incredibly extensive labor to fix, starting at $1,500. But not only are the Mazda Miatas riddled with cosmetic issues, but they also come with some safety issues too. For example, engines and other cooling systems give out, making them shut down at random times, leading to catalytic converter failures. Airbags can spontaneously break their module or defective clockspring assembly, causing them to do absolutely nothing when you get into an accident. Lastly, some Mazda Miatas have service brake problems that cause them to fail when it's wet outside, leading to accidents.
