1993 90s nineties black Mazda MX-5 on the seafront promenade, Southport, Merseyside, UK


The Mazda MX-5 is a lightweight two-passenger roadster manufactured and marketed by Mazda with a front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. The convertible is marketed as the Mazda MX-5 Miata /miˈɑːtə/ in North America, where it is widely known as the Miata, and as the Eunos Roadster (ユーノス・ロードスター Yūnosu Rōdosutā) or Mazda Roadster (マツダ・ロードスター Matsuda Rōdosutā) in Japan. Manufactured at Mazda's Hiroshima plant, the MX-5 debuted in 1989 at the Chicago Auto Show and was conceived and executed under a tightly focused design credo, Jinba ittai (人馬一体), meaning oneness of horse and rider. Widely noted for its small, light, technologically modern, dynamically balanced and minimally complex design, the MX-5 is the spiritual successor to 1950s and '60s Italian and British sports cars, prominently the Lotus Elan.
