Im Laufe seines Lebens hat der MX-5 etliche Preise und Auszeichnungen
erhalten. Hier nun eine kleine Auflistung seiner Ehrungen. Neben vielen Erwähnungen in etablierten Automobilfachzeitschriften wurde er, besonders zu Beginn seiner Karriere, auch vielfach in Lifestyle-Magazinen
geehrt. Wohl auch ein Zeichen dafür, das Mazda mit ihm genau den Nerv der Zeit getroffen hat.
