It wasn’t super expensive, so many folks could buy it and have fun driving. It made Mazda really proud because people all over liked it so much.

The Second Generation (NB): 1998-2005

After the first cool Miata, Mazda made a new one. This was from 1998 to 2005. They called this the “NB”. It was like the first, but even better. It looked a bit different because they changed some things. It still wasn’t heavy, which made it fast and fun. They put in new stuff inside, so it felt nicer to sit in.
