Why Buy an NA Mazda Miata? | 5 Reasons in Less Than 5 Minutes 

i got a 1990 miata in red with a hard top and 50,000 miles for $7,200 right before covid. best purchase ever. i love my Miata so much

A legend in its own right. Quite rightly so. Car of the century. 😍

Both the NA & NB cars appeal to me. While the earlier models appeal most to me, I've never found the Miata to be the styling success that the pre-rubber bumper cars like the older Alfa Spiders, MG's, and Triumph's were. Much of that is down to safety regulations. Reason #5 would be near the top of my list as I love roadsters. The best thing about Miata's is that they will always be relative bargains given their production numbers compared to other sports cars.

I have 321,000 miles on my 1990 Miata and it's been very reliable. I did suffer the crank nose keyway problem after a botched timing belt change at 270,000 miles but at the time Mazda still sold crate motors so I put one in along with all new hoses (every hose big and small) and it now drives like it was new. The recipe is simple, if something breaks fix it right away which is easy to do because parts are cheap and they are so easy to work on. I even autocrossed the car 25 times a year for the first 4 years I owned it and the only wear item from that was the jack which I finally replaced a couple of years ago.

Used engines are not $200 any more.

You missed a biggie! The NA is t h e prettiest MX5 of them all, with the latest versions being, well … . Let’s just say not as nice!

I love mine.

I got a 1993 from the original owner with 100.000 miles for $6,500 on 2017, that was the best deal ever because after covid prices went to the sky
