Is a Miata a JDM car?

The Mazda Miata is a popular car that has been around for over 25 years. It is often considered a "JDM" car, but this isn't always the case. In this blog post, we will discuss the history of the Miata and whether or not it is a true Japanese Domestic Market car. We will also talk about some of the different models and variants that have been released over the years.

The Mazda Miata was first introduced in 1989 and was originally only sold in Japan. It wasn't until 1990 that the Miata was made available to the rest of the world. The Miata quickly became popular for its small size, light weight, and affordable price tag. It was also praised for its handling and fuel economy. Over the years, there have been four different generations of the Miata: NA, NB, NC, and ND. Each generation has seen different changes and improvements.

So, is the Mazda Miata a JDM car? Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. It all depends on which generation you're talking about and where you are in the world. If you're looking for a true JDM car, you need a car that was originally sold in Japan. These are usually right hand drive. The JDM version of the Miata was called the Eunos. For the most part it was the same as the USDM (United States Domestic Market, aka sold in the USA), with a few exceptions. However, if you're just looking for a fun and affordable car to drive, the Miata is definitely worth considering. We hope this post has helped clear up some confusion about the miata's JDM status.
