Mazda MX-5 Miata Parts

With a history spanning more than three decades, the Mazda MX-5 Miata is a classic sports car that has seen four generations. Every generation bettered the one before it while keeping its lightweight design and fun-to-drive mindset. The first version of this car (NA, 1989-1997) introduced the world to the Mazda MX-5 Miata with a 1.6L inline 4-cylinder engine that had fuel injection and either a 5-speed manual or an automatic transmission that you could opt-in for. All these features combined created a very affordable sports car with great performance. When the second generation (NB, 1998-2005) arrived on the scene, major improvements were made. This included fixed headlights instead of pop-ups, a slightly bigger body, and anti-lock brakes as an option. The third generation (NC, 2006-2015) is where this sports car got its big makeover but also kept some of its previous features. It was redesigned significantly and provided a new choice between having either a 5- or 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission, all powered by their MZR I4 engine, which had around double that amount of horsepower as their original model. The hardtop was also introduced in this era, which allowed for easy top retractability without taking up any trunk space. Lastly, whenever the Mazda MX-5 Miata's fourth iteration hit the market (ND, 2016-now), they once again optimized weight reduction to help boost performance while making sure not to sacrifice the overall quality of their "Jinba Ittai" philosophy. Throughout every change made to the Mazda MX-5 Miata during each of its versions, we can still find internal combustion engines under their hood, with technical upgrades pushing around about 200 horsepower while still clutching onto rear-wheel drive capabilities and mainly sticking to manual transmissions. The Mazda MX-5 Miata has always been aimed at driving enthusiasts by offering an affordable sports car with the excellent driving experience possible. Every generation has contributed to the Mazda MX-5 Miata being the most-sold two-seat convertible sports car ever, something Mazda takes a lot of pride in.
