The 1993 Mazda Miata MX-5 Roadster was powered by a dual-overhead-cam four-cylinder, 16-valve engine that displaced 1597cc and offered 116 horsepower. It came standard with a five-speed manual gearbox and was capable of racing from zero-to-sixty mph in 9.1 seconds. Fuel economy was equally impressive, capable of 30 mpg on the highway. Standard equipment included an AM/FM cassette stereo. 'Brilliant Black' became available as an exterior color. A leather interior finished in classic tan and a vinyl top in a similar color was available as optional equipment.The 1993 Mazda Miata had a base price of $15,300, approximately half of what its RX-7 sibling demanded at $32,500. While the RX-7 was a coupe powered by a Wankle rotary twin-turbocharged engine with 255 horsepower, the Miata was a roadster with a 116 horsepower engine.
The first generation (NA) of the MX-5 lasted from 1989 through 1997. First introduced in 1989 at the Chicago Auto Show, the Miata quickly built a reputation for its minimally complex design, small and lightweight platform, and well balanced and spirited nature. The Miata has remained in production, earning it the title of being the best-selling two-seat convertible sports car in history. Production has far exceeded one million examples.
