Will MX-5 be a classic

“Price rises, as ever, caught our eye: until the end of 2021 values had been relatively flat, topping out at about £1500. Since then, we've seen a few sell for more than £3500 up to around the £5000-mark for a really good one. Like its older brother, it's a surefire next-generation classic.”
Mazda MX-5 (Mk1, 1989-1997) icon review: a modern take on the classic sports car.
Why is the Miata legendary
The Mazda MX-5 Miata came to be in 1989, and the vehicle quickly gained popularity among car enthusiasts. The Roadster offered a British roadster's open-air feel, Japanese reliability and build quality, refined driving dynamics, and an affordable price point.In fact, the MX-5 Miata was the only sports car on Consumer Reports' list of most reliable new cars. An older generation of the Miata was even awarded one of the best affordable sports cars and was the only one to receive a perfect score for Driving Test, Owner Satisfaction, and Reliability.The newest Miata got the best start in the drag race, leaving its predecessor behind. It crossed the finish line first with a 14.7-second quarter-mile time. The NC finished second at 16.4 seconds, the NB third at 16.9 seconds, and the NA last at 17.2 seconds.
If you do decide to sell good luck. With the price of new MX-5's significantly increasing due to new emission regulations at the start of 2020 – This increase fed through to the 2nd hand market for ND's, and I'd think this would bolster prices overall for good used examples of all marks…
Will MX-5 Mk2 go up in value : “Price rises, as ever, caught our eye: until the end of 2021 values had been relatively flat, topping out at about £1500. Since then, we've seen a few sell for more than £3500 up to around the £5000-mark for a really good one.
Does Miata have a future : We anticipate the NE Miata release date will come in 2026, with this next-gen MX-5 arriving as either a 2026 or 2027 model. Since the current ND Miata debuted for the 2016 model year, that would put the current generation's production run at 11 or 12 model years before the new model arrives.
Is MX-5 a JDM
Originally launched in 2015, the fourth-generation Mazda MX-5 has evolved with some significant changes for the Japanese Domestic Market. All updates will eventually feature in other global markets from next year.
While hardly a "classic" in the traditional sense of the word, the fourth-gen Miata definitely has the potential to be a future collectible.Mazda is also well-known for making cars that are fun to drive. The Miata, of course, is no exception! This sports car has a 50/50 weight distribution, which allows the car to have an athletic feel on winding roads. Even with less power, the Miata provides a more fun driving experience than its competitors.
Is a Mazda Miata collectible : The car is quite popular in Japan and Europe, so it's a very good idea to pay attention to currency shifts and the global economy. Don't be surprised if the US market for collectible Miatas is pushed by demand overseas in the years to come. And the Miata isn't the only Mazda that some deem collectible.
