Mazda rolled its beloved MX-5 Miata onto US roadways just over 35 years ago. The most recent iteration formally launched for the 2016 model year.
Over the last decade, this so-called ND-generation Miata has gone through some update cycles and added more features and power. The most recent version also gave the Miata a new steering rack and a refreshed interior.
Still, the main design and philosophy of this fourth-generation Miata haven’t changed much over the past decade. The revised powertrain adds some welcome extra oomph, making 181 hp from a 2.0-liter I4 since the ND’s first overhaul for 2019.
You can row your own gears through a six-speed manual transmission, or a six-speed automatic can be tasked with the gear selection duties.
On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren hops behind the 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata, puts it through its paces, then takes you on a guided tour of the roadster and highlights some of his favorite features.
Later, Wren takes you along on a live drive review, then chats with Autoweek’s Patrick Carone about the Mazda Miata, how this generation holds up, and what could happen to the Miata in the future. Closing the show, the pair breaks down what makes the 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata special.
