1995 Mazda MX-5 Miata Preview summaryImage

Other than a few updates in interior and exterior colors and options, the Mazda MX-5 Miata was virtually unchanged from the previous year. Power was provided by a 128-horsepower, 1.8-liter, double-overhead-cam four-cylinder engine that was installed longitudinally. It was linked to a five-speed manual transmission. A four-speed automatic was optional. The MX-5 Miata was available in both a Base model and an upscale M Edition. Standard features for the Base model included a manually operated soft top, power brakes, a driver's-side airbag, remote fuel and trunk releases, and 14-inch wheels. Options included a removable hardtop, air conditioning, power windows, anti-lock brakes, cruise control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, aluminum alloy wheels, and leather seats. The M Edition received such upgrades as air conditioning, power windows, anti-lock brakes, and leather seats, as well as special interior and exterior colors. Most drivers noted that the MX-5 Miata was a fun car to drive (its main selling point) as well as a good value. The car's handling, styling, and drop-top were also among drivers' favorites features. On the downside, trunk space was limited and the interior could be noisy at road speeds, drivers noted.

I would love this car if Mazda but a bigger engine and bigger tires on this car. They did a great job with the handling and the weight being 50/50. This isn't a car for tall or big people.Feb 10, 2015

I got this car little over 15 years ago and immediately fell in love. There have not been any mechanical breakdowns on this high mileage machine (151, 000 so far). I have added a few inexpensive handling improvements (lowered shocks/springs, strut bar, sway bars front and rear, and new performance tires). These have brought the car alive! There have been a few more reconditioning items that I have added to make the ride more enjoyable but this car although not fast handles the mountains around California like nothing else! Lots of fun to be had while still doing less than jail worthy speeds. I love the first generation Miata. Jun 21, 2014

Even though this Miata was a base model, I still really enjoyed the car. It was a basic car but it actually added to the driving experiance making it a simplestic joy to drive. It had great handling and was so easy to drive hard or just cruise with the top down. Aug 22, 2013
