How we verify Mazda MX-5 Miata performance data
We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Mazda MX-5 Miata trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

Mazda MX-5 Miata performance FAQs
6 questions
The quickest Mazda MX-5 Miata on record is the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Flyin’ LS3 Grand Touring, which runs 0–60 mph in 3.5 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 11.70 seconds at 123.0 mph.
The slowest recorded Mazda MX-5 Miata is the 1994 Mazda MX-5 Miata Convertible, which takes 9.7 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 17.00 seconds in the quarter.
Averaged across all 74 verified runs, a Mazda MX-5 Miata reaches 60 mph in 6.64 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 15.07 seconds at roughly 92.2 mph.
We have verified test data for 24 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.
Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver, Motor Trend, Motor Week and Road & Track. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.
0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.

0–60 and quarter-mile times vary with driver, weather, tire temperature, and wear. We collect every verified run we can find — so you see the range of what a Mazda MX-5 Miata can do, not a single marketing claim.
