| Additional Info: Also known as a Miata in the US or Eunos in Japan. The 1st Gens ran from 1989-1997. The 1.8 debuted in 1993 with 130bhp and a 0-60 time of around 8.6 secs. Many upgrades and modifications available, too many to mention here (although adding a turbo is quite popular). Has also become a very popular track day car due to the ease of modifying it. |
