MX 5 (1989 to 2023)

The Mazda MX-5 Miata, which has been manufactured globally since 1989 across four distinct generations, has officially secured its place as the world’s most successful two-seat roadster with more than 1.2 million units produced to date. In the 2026 Australian market, this automotive icon has reached a new peak of desirability, with 2025 sales figures hitting a seven-year high of 821 units as local enthusiasts scramble to secure the current ND-generation before any potential shifts toward electrification. The buyer pool in Australia is exceptionally broad, ranging from track-day purists targeting the G20 GT RS—equipped with factory Bilstein dampers and Brembo brakes—to savvy collectors vying for the ultra-rare 35th Anniversary Edition, of which only 50 manual units were allocated to our shores in its exclusive Artisan Red finish. Locally, market value has remained remarkably resilient for well-maintained examples of every era, with 2026 buyers prioritising the latest ND update which features a modernised 8.8-inch touchscreen and Mazda Connected Services, alongside the evergreen NA models with their signature pop-up headlights. As the "Jinba Ittai" (horse and rider as one) philosophy continues to resonate, the Australian community remains deeply committed to the MX-5, celebrating it as the ultimate expression of accessible, lightweight, and pure driving joy.
