Important things turning 30 years old in 2019: the idea of the World Wide Web (weird how that never caught on, huh?) a unified Germany, and real-life Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe. Cor, what a year 1989 was. However the biggest event of that heady year wasn"t the end of the Cold War, nor the birth of a future boy wizard. Oh no. At the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, Mazda revealed a diminutive new two-seater sports car. The world first met the MX-5 Miata. Three decades and four generations ever, the MX-5 is still with us, in finer fettle that ever. As the world"s gone crazy for turbocharged lifestyle crossovers, the MX-5 has held firm. It"s still a relatively lightweight, naturally aspirated, rear-drive sports car that"s as interested in grip, power and lap times as BMW is with fitting sensible radiator grilles to its new cars.
