Is the Mazda MX-5 with big eyes still available for sale?
3 Answers
Mazda MX-5 has been discontinued for a long time, and if you want to purchase one, you can only do so through second-hand transfers. Here is a detailed introduction to this car: Parameters: The car weighs only 995kg, equipped with a 1.6L-L4 naturally aspirated engine, with a top speed of only 180 kilometers per hour. The car is matched with a 5-speed MT transmission, with a fuel consumption of 5.4L per 100 kilometers, and the power is relatively weak. Exterior: The car is positioned as a compact car, featuring a 2-door, 2-seater hardtop sports car structure. It comes with frameless doors, and the interior space is limited. However, the front of the car is equipped with the most popular 'pop-up headlights' from the 1990s.
I'm a loyal fan of Mazda, especially the MX-5 model, which has the nickname 'Big Eyes' due to its striking round and large headlight design. The latest ND series is still being sold globally, and the 2024 model has just been launched in the Chinese market, available in both soft-top convertible and RF hard-top versions, equipped with either a 1.5-liter or 2.0-liter engine, providing adequate power while being fuel-efficient. I bought one last year, and its handling is top-notch, stable around corners, and very convenient for city driving—though it's a bit narrow and not very practical for carrying many people. The starting price is around 300,000 RMB, and orders can be placed through official dealers. It's recommended to check Mazda's official website for inventory status. With a history spanning decades, the MX-5 has been a best-seller since its first generation and remains a benchmark for small sports cars, perfect for enthusiasts who love driving pleasure.
As a guy who often helps others check out cars, I know the nickname 'big eyes' for the Mazda MX-5 comes from its classic design. It's still being sold in the domestic market, with the latest being the ND series, including both soft-top and RF models. I recommend going to an authorized 4S dealership for a test drive—they have stock available or can schedule appointments, with prices starting at 300,000, which isn’t too high. It drives comfortably with a reliable powertrain, though fuel consumption is slightly on the higher side, and maintenance costs are reasonable. Don’t forget to consider parts like headlight wear and tear; timely replacements can extend its lifespan. Overall, the market supply is sufficient, with no risk of shortages.
