• Is an MX-5 the same as a Miata?

  Yes! Much like a host of other manufacturers in the new car market, Mazda uses different names for some of its models in different geographical markets. Whereas Australia has come to know the Mazda MX-5 by its simple name, in the North American market the car is called the Mazda MX-5 Miata, which has often led to it being dubbed a 'Miata' for short. Nonetheless, the cars are equals, save for some minor differences according to local regulations and of course, right-hand-drive configuration here in Australia.
