Jinba Ittai, or “Rider and horse as one” is the Mazda belief in melding you, the driver and your car, as one. It is the essence of the 3rd Generation MX-5 that guided the all development decisions, yielding a car so nimble and fun-to-drive that the driver and car achieve true unity. It is having a car that responds exactly how you want it to. The result is cars with spirited driving and precise handling. All Mazdas have it, the MX-5 best embodies it.
