Investment Grade · Accessible
The Mazda MX-5 Miata (NA) (1989-1997) currently represents an accessible entry point into JDM ownership. Owners benefit from bulletproof reliability (92/10) that owners routinely daily-drive, low running costs (30/10 maintenance), and parts remain widely available (98/10) — a combination that keeps the RWD driving experience genuinely usable day-to-day. While not showing the same appreciation as higher-graded models, values have remained relatively stable and the car offers strong driving enjoyment relative to its price point. Buyers prioritising driving experience over investment potential will find excellent value here.
