Mazda MX-5 video review

Different generations of used Mazda MX-5

Built out of a love for British sports cars, Mazda first released the MX-5 in 1989 and it quickly became a popular model. Currently in its fourth generation, the MX-5 hit a million units sold in 2016. Even though it started out with a basic lightweight design, Mazda has continued to improve the styling, features and technology to keep it relevant and exciting.

Fourth Generation (2015 to 2015)

Mazda refers to this generation as the ND, and the size became even more compact than the original. Compared with the previous generation, the MX-5 weighs 100kg less, massively improving both handling and fuel efficiency. Despite its small size, Mazda has managed to equip the MX-5 with high-tech safety equipment and reliable SKYACTIV engines. This generation had a twin manufactured by Fiat, known as the Abarth 124 Spider.

In 2016, the RF Targa-style folding hard-top was released, providing more options. In 2021, a slight refresh arrived with new Kinematic Posture Control. This advanced system allows for better cornering by applying the brakes to individual rear wheels as needed.

Third Generation (2005 to 2015)

Internally, this MX-5 is known as the NC and it arrived with a wider, heavier and longer body than ever before. With a more spacious and modern cabin, some enthusiasts were happy, but others preferred the old style. Thankfully, there were 2.0-litre powerful engines in the lineup that kept it fun to drive. During this generation, Mazda also released the MX-5 Roadster Coupé with a folding hardtop.

A 2009 facelift modernised the look of the MX-5, as well as improved the handling thanks to more responsive steering. As a result, these models command a premium on the used market.

Used Mazda MX-5 FAQ's

Which is the most popular engine in the Mazda MX-5?

The larger 2.0-litre petrol engine is the most popular because it offers the most power and performance. Newer versions output 184bhp and are still considered to be relatively efficient, being capable of up to 41.5mpg.

Which are the most popular trim levels?

New MX-5s come in three trim levels: Prime-Line, Exclusive-Line and Homura. With used models, the most popular seems to be the SE, which was a base model but still came well-equipped with tech features.

What optional extras should I look out for?

Leather heated seats make the ride more enjoyable, and there's advanced safety technology that can enhance the experience, such as adaptive front lights, lane departure warning and parking sensors. We also recommend the premium 9-speaker Bose audio system to make the sound more immersive.

What does 'SKYACTIV' mean in Mazda cars?

SKYACTIV is an exclusive technology developed by Mazda and used in several of its cars. With the advanced lineup, engine output is increased with maximum fuel efficiency. These engines have been found to be reliable and long-lasting when properly maintained.

Is there a hybrid version of the Mazda MX-5?

Mazda hasn't added electric technology to the MX-5 yet. For now, there are only petrol models available. Mild hybrid technology has been added to some other cars from the lineup, such as the Mazda2 and Mazda3.

Is the Mazda MX-5 available as an automatic?

An automatic transmission was offered, but it's relatively rare on the used market. Most drivers prefer to maintain shifting control with the manual gearbox, which is easy to find among used models.

Is there a four-wheel drive version available?

Mazda has only ever built the MX-5 with a rear-wheel drive configuration. There has never been a four-wheel drive model. With rear-wheel drive, Mazda ensures that the handling is sporty and exciting at all speed ranges.
