The 25 Best Japanese Sports Cars Ever Made

13. Mazda Miata

The Mazda Miata is an incredibly popular roadster that has been produced by Mazda since 1989. The small two-seat roadster is popular among enthusiasts and tuners, with car clubs devoted to the vehicle. The small size, nimble responsiveness, and exceptional stability of the Miata make it a great sports car. The first generation sold over 400,000 units between 1989 and 1997. The Miata is often modified by tuners to make it unique. Due to the immense popularity of the Miata, a wide range of aftermarket parts are available for the vehicle. For the most part, any body modification you can think of is available (within reason of course). Suicide doors or Lamborghini doors? No problem. Crazy body kits that make the car less a Miata and more your own unique creation? Easily done. It is certainly easy to see why this little roadster is a common choice for tuners everywhere.
