About this generation

Legendary roadster with pop-up headlights that revived the class.

The first-generation MX-5 (Miata) was created with a nod to classic British sports cars. Thanks to a perfect 50:50 weight distribution, light weight, and pop-up headlights, the car instantly became an iconic hit.
