This is where the legend began. The 1990 Mazda MX-5 Miata didn't just create the modern roadster category -- it perfected it from day one. Tipping the scales at just over a ton, this first-year NA chassis represents driving purity in its most distilled form. The 1.6L DOHC four-cylinder isn't about brute power (though its 116 horsepower feels twice as potent in this featherweight), but about the mechanical symphony it creates as you work through the buttery-smooth 5-speed manual transmission.The magic happens when you drop the classic pop-up headlights and take her through her natural habitat: twisting backroads. With perfect 50/50 weight distribution, rack-and-pinion steering that telegraphs every nuance of the pavement, and a suspension tuned by Lotus engineers, this Miata redefines the term go-kart feel. The fabric top drops in seconds, transforming every sunny day into an open-air motoring event -- one where you'll find yourself taking the long way home every single time.This survivor-grade example shows its 180,000 kilometers with pride, each one a testament to Mazda's bulletproof reliability. The classic red paint (code SU) still gleams against those iconic daisy wheels, while the black interior remains remarkably free of the usual wear. Everything works as it should -- from the classic Nardi shift knob to the analog gauges that tell no lies. Recent maintenance includes a new timing belt, water pump, and fresh fluids throughout.ENGINE & PERFORMANCE 1.6L DOHC 16-valve inline-4 (116 hp @ 6,500 rpm / 100 lb-ft @ 5,500 rpm) 5-speed manual transmission 50/50 weight distribution for perfect balanceCHASSIS & DRIVING DYNAMICS Fully independent suspension (double wishbone all around) Recirculating ball steering (2.9 turns lock-to-lock) Front engine/rear-wheel drive layout Curb weight: just 940 kg (2,072 lbs) 14 alloy Daisy wheels with new 185/60R14 tiresEXTERIOR HIGHLIGHTS Classic Pop-up headlights (manual operation) Original SU Classic Red paint (90% original) Black convertible top (replaced 2018) Factory front lip spoilerAt Kelowna Mazda, we ensure every used car is reconditioned for your peace of mind.
