Mazda's Millionth MX-5 made its lone Canadian stop today, at Mazda Canada's Richmond Hill, Ontario, headquarters. The MX-5 started production in April 1989, and the millionth unit rolled off the line in April of this year. That lucky Roadster has been touring the world ever since. Miata clubs, fans, and enthusiasts from across the country made

Mazda's MX-5 is getting extra power for 2019. It's getting some shuffled trim levels too, which means the base model is now better equipped for a slightly higher price than before. The MX-5 roadster's 2.0L four is getting a 26 hp boost to 181 hp and 151 lb-ft. That's thanks to freer breathing and a raised redline. It's also getting a telescoping

Mazda says the next generation of the Mazda MX-5 roadster will use carbon fibre to continue the weight-saving trend started by the current model. The news comes from the U.K.'s Autocar magazine, which got the skinny straight from the head of Mazda's MX-5 development program, Nobuhiro Yamamoto. He says the car is the right size, but that l

It was almost exactly a decade ago – autumn, 2005 – when I first got my hands on the keys to the then-brand-spankin’-new third-generation (NC) Mazda MX-5 and motoring as I knew it would never be the same again. Miatas – diminutive compared to most everything else on the road, and relentlessly fun. I had previously driven earlier version

The 2016 Mazda MX-5 is hotly anticipated. It is not only the first complete redesign in nearly a decade, it represents a revival of the roadster concept in its purest form. Rumours are so often not realized so when we heard this ND (fourth-gen) model would be lighter and smaller, we were skeptical. We needn’t have been. The newest Mazda MX-5 Mia

Earlier this year, Mazda invited us to join them for their annual Adventure Rally. Prior to departure, we had no idea where our chartered flight would be taking us, what our route or events would be or even what vehicle we would be driving; just that it was a Mazda vehicle and an Adventure! Check out our Mazda Miata Buyers Guide and  the

PETERBOROUGH, ON – Those weather gods must be a real barrel of laughs. Not only has this been one of the soggiest springs on record, but they were probably rubbing their hands together with glee at the prospect of so many convertibles gathered in one place. For the second time in its two-year history, the annual meeting of Peterborough MX-5/Miata o

For 2021, Mazda is giving the MX-5 Miata some small tech changes along with new colour options and the lovely 100th Anniversary edition treatment it's given to the rest of its lineup this year. The lightweight roadster gets a lightweight price change for the new year, up $100 to start from $33,200. The most notable change for 2021 is the add

Mazda’s latest MX-5 is lighter, friskier and just as rear-wheel drive as ever, and though more shoppers than ever want convertibles they can use all year round, many Canadians would still see their copy of the latest Mazda roadster stored through the winter months, tucked away in a warm garage, and not out tearing up the roads, the way it was desig

The Mazda MX-5 adds horsepower for 2019, addressing one of the most common complaints from people who’ve never actually driven the car. Is the extra output more of a good thing, capable of pushing the world’s most popular roadster to the next level where it can better hang with the current crop of sports cars? Or is it too much sauce slathered on

Will any car ever unseat the Mazda MX-5 as autoTRADER.ca’s Best Sporty Car Under $50,000? Magic 8 Ball says: Don’t count on it. The autoTRADER.ca panel of experts – which this year comprises more than 20 jurors across the country who voted for this over every single vehicle on sale in Canada within this segment – has consistently been wooed b

When it rolled out at the New York auto show this spring, the Mazda MX-5 RF caught both attention and groans from the Miata faithful. Attention, because the Retractable Fastback sliding hard top is a beautiful change to the model, but groans for not being a full coupe. Well, the car is ready for launch, and Mazda is giving 1,000 customers the cha

Leaks about the Mazda MX-5 getting more power have been circulating for a few months. Now a new first drive from Japan has confirmed the engine upgrades along with a big perk for fitting more sizes of driver into a small car: a telescoping steering wheel. With the Miata's 155 hp only having to move a little over 1,000 kg, the MX-5 isn't exactly

For autoTRADER.ca’s Best Performance Car Under $50K category, our jury of more than 20 automotive experts considered every single sports car and performance model on the Canadian market, whittling the field down to five finalists: The Mazda MX-5, Ford Mustang, Hyundai Veloster N, Honda Civic Si/Civic Type R, and Volkswagen Golf GTI.

Let’s begin with the keys. In order to start the red 2017 Porsche 911 C4S , you walk up to the car, pull the door handle, the door unlocks, then you must fish the key out of your pants (a key that is shaped like a little 911), insert it to the left of the steering wheel, and turn it. In order to start the grey 2017 Mazda MX-5 RF , you must fir
