The little Mazda Miata is a giant among car enthusiasts. Introduced in 1990 it was viewed as a novel attempt to capture the spirit of British sports cars while incorporating the reliability of a Japanese econobox. Well, if that was the goal, mission accomplished. Three decades later there really is no comparison, the Miata has remained true to its roots for four generations, combining value and performance in a timeless and accessible package.
This iconic first generation Mazda MX5 Miata 5-speed has seen substantial cosmetic and mechanical refresh in recent years including fresh paint and a new soft top under the removeable hard top. The original daisy wheels have been powder coated black and clad with aggressive Falken Azenis tires. The interior is very nice with seats that belie the miles with no threadbare fabric or wear. A modern stereo system with subwoofer sounds kick ass and a few tasteful upgrades to the shift knob and floor mats give the originally spartan cabin a little pop.
Mechanically the suspension has been upgraded with adjustable coil overs. Brakes are fresh and the engine benefits from a major tune up including a timing belt and water pump service less than 1000 miles ago. This hot little sports car is good to go.
The Miata is no doubt most at home carving up the back roads, top down under a canopy of fall foliage but with the factory hardtop, it is transformed into an all season performer, even a gas sipping daily driver.
This Miata is located in Rowlett, Texas and is offered as is where is. Low ballers, scammers and sales assistants save your time. No trades or financing.
