In this episode of Vintage Car Chronicles, we explore the Mazda MX-5 Miata, a lightweight, fun-to-drive roadster that has charmed drivers since its debut in 1989. Inspired by British sports cars of the 1960s but with Mazda's reliability, the Miata became the world’s best-selling two-seater sports car. With its perfectly balanced chassis, rear-wheel drive, and responsive steering, each of the four generations has retained the same driving spirit. Join us as we delve into the Miata's history, its design evolution, and the special editions that make this car a true icon.
