Haven’t you heard? The mighty Mazda MX-5 turns 35 this year. And to mark the occasion, the Japanese carmaker has built special 35th Anniversary Edition models of the famed Miata.
Now, said special edition Miata has arrived in the Philippines, making its first public appearance at the recently concluded Sports Car For a Cause at the Bonifacio Global City this past weekend.
The beautiful maroon Miata will be available in the Philippines for P2.49 million. As far as allocation goes, only 15 units will be sold here. That means this will eventually be one of the rarest specs of the MX-5 here on our shores.

Frankly, it’s no surprise that we even got allocation, albeit just a few, because the Miata has a sizeable following in the Philippines. If you recall, the Miata Club Philippines even got its own limited-production, special-edition Miatas back during the organization’s 25th anniversary.
“Mazda Philippines is one with the BGC Car Club and NEO in supporting this wonderful event,” said Mazda Philippines president Steven Tan. “The strong sense of charity and compassion among the sports car community in Manila made it the perfect venue to show the MX-5 35th Anniversary Edition. Like the people behind Sports Cars for a Cause, the MX-5 is a car that has enjoyed a strong, dedicated following that has made it the world’s best-selling sportscar since its inception in 1989.”
The MX-5 35th Anniversary Edition model also arrives just as Mazda Philippines confirmed the imminent launch of the new BT-50. It’s been quite the busy start to 2025 for the brand so it seems, and it looks like the rest of the year will be more of the same. Anyway, you can check out more photos of the special-edition Miata below.
