Description

While many will point to the rotary-powered RX-7, Mazda's greatest creation has undoubtedly been the Miata. Dubbed Miata, MX-5, and most recently, combining the two to become the MX-5 Miata. Whatever the name, Mazda hit a home run when it debuted its affordable two-seat, drop-top, driver-friendly roadster in 1989 as a 1990 model. This particular second-gen 1999 Mazda MX-5 Miata we have for you today comes to us with a ridiculously low 25,105 actual miles on its odometer. This triple-black beauty sports its believed original body panels and paint. With its matching manual vinyl top up or down, this car's next owner will brighten things up with the amount of smiling they will be doing from behind the wheel.

Inside, we find a stock, correct, and original black cloth interior. A three-spoke, power-assisted wheel sits just ahead of a five-pod gauge cluster featuring a 140 mph speedometer and 8,000 rpm tachometer. Power windows, power mirrors, and air conditioning provide creature comforts, while the original AM/FM/CD player sits just ahead of the perfectly placed shifter.

Under the hood, we find a 1.8-liter naturally-aspirated DOHC inline-four-cylinder engine. Unique to the NB or second generation, this motor saw an increased compression ratio and Mazda's Variable Intake Control System to help unlock 140 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 119 pound-feet of torque at 5,500 rpm when it rolled off the assembly line two-and-a-half decades ago. That power is routed through what some have deemed one of the best-shifting manual transmissions ever made before heading out to the rear wheels.

This 1999 Mazda Miata MX-5 rides on a fully independent factory-style suspension. Power disc brakes sit at all four corners to scrub off speed whenever called upon. Thanks to its svelte curb weight, which is about a cheeseburger shy of 2,300 pounds, nearly perfect 50/50 weight distribution, and fun-in-the-sun drop-top style, the MX-5 Miata comes about as close as any car ever has to being the absolute perfect driver's car. Add to that its ultra-low mileage, and this car should have plenty of care-free miles ahead. If you have been looking for one of these incredible sports cars, this is the one you've been waiting for.
