About the Mazda MX-5 Miata (ND)

The ND is Mazda returning to first principles: 1058 kg, a naturally aspirated engine, a manual gearbox, and a driving position moved closer to the centre of the car than any previous MX-5. It is the lightest new sports car on sale in most markets, and the reason it feels quick is that nothing is fighting it.

Investment Grade ยท Sensible

The Mazda MX-5 Miata (ND) (2015-) is a sensible buy rather than a speculative one: bulletproof reliability (90/10) that owners routinely daily-drive, low running costs (45/10 maintenance), and parts remain widely available (85/10) make the RWD package easy to live with. Values are up a healthy +5.0% year-on-year, and a rarity score of 30/100 means there is usually plenty of choice on the market, so patience usually beats urgency here. The upside is modest, but the cost of ownership is predictable and the driving experience is the real return.

Price estimates are based on market research and recent sales data. Values fluctuate based on condition, mileage, and market demand. Not financial advice.
