About the 2006 Mazda MX-5 Miata

The third-generation MX-5 (NC) represents Mazda's bold departure from the lightweight philosophy that defined its predecessors. Launched in 2006, this iteration grew larger and heavier but gained sophistication with a folding hardtop option and more refined dynamics. The 2.0-liter four-cylinder produced 167 horsepower initially, later bumped to 184 hp in the 2009 refresh. While purists initially balked at the added weight, the NC has aged gracefully and now attracts collectors who appreciate its more mature character and improved build quality. The folding hardtop Power Retractable models are particularly sought after, offering year-round usability without sacrificing the open-air experience. With clean examples becoming harder to find and values steadily climbing, the NC generation is finally getting its due recognition as a legitimate collectible, especially low-mileage manual transmission cars in desirable colors.
