The Mazda MX-5 Miata NB was built from 1998 to 2005.
The MX-5 Miata, the most traded version: The second-generation MX-5 (NB) represents Mazda's refinement of the lightweight roadster formula that revived the sports car segment. Building on the original NA's success, the NB added structural rigidity and more sophisticated suspension while maintaining the pure driving experience that made its predecessor legendary. The 1.8-liter twin-cam four produces 140-155 hp depending on year, paired with either a crisp 5-speed manual or optional 4-speed automatic. Key improvements include a limited-slip differential, larger brakes, and better NVH control. The NB's cleaner styling aged gracefully, and today these cars are increasingly appreciated by collectors who missed out on earlier examples. Clean, unmodified NBs with maintenance records are becoming harder to find as drift culture and track day enthusiasm have claimed many. The sweet spot for collectors remains the 2001-2005 models with the stronger VVT engine and six-speed transmission option.
