Mazda MX-5 Miata For Sale in Colorado Springs, CO
Mazda MX-5 Miata For Sale in Colorado Springs, CO
The 2026 Mazda MX-5 Miata is the benchmark of the affordable sports car segment — a rear-wheel drive roadster that U.S. News calls off the charts for smiles-per-mile, powered by a SKYACTIV-G 2.0-liter four-cylinder revving to 7,500 rpm and weighing just 2,366 pounds in Sport trim. Three trim levels span from $31,665 to $36,965, and the Miata remains the most accessible way to own a true sports car in 2026 — priced lower than any Subaru BRZ, Toyota GR86, or Ford Mustang Ecoboost.

Serving Falcon, Fountain, Pueblo, and the Front Range.
Colorado Springs Is the Right Place to Own a Miata
More than 300 sunny days per year. The Garden of the Gods. Ute Pass Road up to Woodland Park. Phantom Canyon to Victor. Gold Camp Road. Cheyenne Mountain Loop. Colorado Springs offers a concentration of driver's roads within a 30-minute radius of downtown that few American cities can match — and the MX-5 Miata was designed for exactly this kind of driving. The near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution, the double-wishbone front suspension, the multi-link rear, and the 7,500 rpm redline all contribute to a driving experience that rewards Colorado Springs canyon roads in a way that a crossover simply cannot replicate. The sport car's lightweight body and rear-wheel drive character make every corner feedback-rich and every straight-road acceleration run purposeful. The MX-5 is not a one-note track car — its comfortable seats, wireless CarPlay, Bose audio, and heated seats on upper trims make it a legitimate daily driver for the 300-plus days a year when the Colorado Springs sky is clear and the convertible top should be down.
The 2026 Mazda MX-5 Miata Trim Lineup
Three trim levels span the soft top MX-5 Miata. The Sport at $31,665 is the purest expression of the Miata formula — 181 hp, 6-speed manual, rear-wheel drive, 16-inch alloy wheels, an 8.8-inch display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Mazda's full standard safety suite. No automatic transmission option; the Sport is a manual-only proposition. The Club at $35,165 is the performance-focused trim — adding 17-inch alloy wheels, a sport-tuned suspension, Bilstein sport dampers, a front shock tower brace, an asymmetric limited-slip differential, and DSC Track mode. The Club is also the only soft top trim eligible for the $5,050 Brembo BBS Recaro Package, which adds Brembo front brakes with red calipers, 17-inch BBS forged wheels, and heated Recaro seats with black Alcantara — one of the most track-ready factory option packages available on any car under $45,000. The Grand Touring at $36,965 is the comfort-oriented top trim — adding heated leather seats, automatic climate control, rain-sensing wipers, adaptive front LED lighting, navigation, and radar cruise control (with automatic on the auto-transmission configuration). Grand Touring is the only soft top trim available with a 6-speed automatic.
Why the MX-5 Miata Is Still the Best Sports Car Value in 2026
The 2026 MX-5 Miata Sport starts at $31,665 — less than a Toyota GR86 at $32,395, significantly less than a Subaru BRZ at $37,055, and below the entry point of a Ford Mustang Ecoboost at $34,635. The Miata produces less horsepower than all three — but that misses the point. At 2,366 pounds, the Miata's power-to-weight ratio is competitive with far more powerful cars, and the precision of its chassis feedback simply isn't available in anything else at this price. Motor1 calls it a bargain at just over $30,000 and notes that Miata sales actually grew 7.7 percent last year despite the model's age — because there is nothing else that drives like it.
