The Mazda Eunos Roadster NA6CE / NA8C is the original Japanese-market MX-5 / Miata, combining pop-up headlights, lightweight construction and rear-wheel drive into one of the most engaging sports cars of its era.
The NA6CE uses a 1.6-litre engine, while the NA8C features the larger 1.8-litre engine, offering more torque and performance. Japanese-market NA8C models are particularly desirable for their exclusive domestic trim levels and factory equipment not commonly found on overseas MX-5s.
With a lightweight chassis, manual gearbox and responsive handling, the Eunos Roadster delivers a pure, analogue driving experience without needing big power. Its simple mechanicals and huge aftermarket also make it ideal for weekend driving, restoration or tasteful modifications.
As clean original examples become harder to find, JDM Eunos Roadsters are increasingly attractive imports into Australia, with the NA8C offering an especially desirable combination of the larger engine and Japan-specific specifications.
For enthusiasts seeking a classic, lightweight Japanese roadster, the NA6CE and NA8C remain excellent choices.
