The Miata never stopped being special
For small sports car enthusiasts, the Mazda MX-5 Miata is iconic. It kicked off a stateside resurgence in sporty roadsters and hasn’t relinquished its stronghold on the segment for decades. It’s svelte and nimble, packing plenty of Mazda “zoom zoom” beneath the hood.
For August, Mazda will allow qualified lessees the chance to drive home in their own MX-5 Miata for $418 per month, with $2,499 due at signing on a 36-month lease term. This lease is only good for the 2025 MX-5 Miata, and is specific to the Sport version with a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive.
This lease offer requires dealership participation and vehicle availability. Since the MX-5 Miata is considered a bit more niche than many other Mazda vehicles, it’s likely that dealership selection will vary. We suggest that you enter your zip code on Mazda’s website to find a local dealership that’s participating. We entered zip codes for seven major metro areas, and each had several dealers willing to work with us on a lease.

Can you lease an MX-5 Miata for zero down at signing?
Of course! Just know that while lease terms are negotiable, dealerships can refuse a zero-down offer and can choose to alter lease terms. Putting zero down when signing a lease typically increases the monthly payment by 15-25 percent. Further, because the MX-5 Miata is so sought after, dealerships may not alter lease offers for anyone.
2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata highlights
Now in its 35th year, the MX-5 Miata might be better than ever. The 2025 Sport pairs a manual transmission with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine pumping out 181 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. For a car of its size, that’s more than enough under the hood. Kinematic Pressure Control works with the rear suspension and brakes to keep you grounded when tackling even the most challenging turns, making sure you don’t over- or understeer while also limiting body roll. The Asymmetric Limited Slip Differential helps with precise steering during cornering, further enhancing the driving experience. All Mazda Miatas have Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) with Traction Control as a standard feature, too.
Inside, the two-seater is refined yet simple, putting the driver in the best position for tackling the road ahead. Though there’s a small screen peeking out from the center of the dash, the rest of the interior is thoughtfully pared down, putting everything within arm’s reach to ensure your driving experience is as distraction-free as possible.
Final thoughts
The MX-5 Miata is a fan favorite for several reasons, but more than anything, it’s just plain fun to drive. Paired with a manual transmission, this lease offer for a 2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata Sport will have you feeling connected to both the car and the road, bringing a driving experience that’s hard to beat.
