Mazda MX-5 NB dimensions 1998–2005
The Mazda MX-5 NB (1998–2005) is 394 cm long, 168 cm wide and 122 cm tall, with a 227 cm wheelbase. That makes it about 10 cm shorter than the average roadster in our guide (404 cm across 40 versions). In size it is closest to the Toyota MR2 (1999, 5.4 cm shorter), the MG F / MG TF (2002, 2.2 cm longer) and the Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class (1996, 5.5 cm longer).

Will the Mazda MX-5 fit?
UK parking bay 4.8 × 2.4 m
Fits comfortably86 cm spare in length; with mirrors (188 cm wide (est.) including mirrors) about 26 cm free each side for opening doors.
UK single garage 4.8 × 2.4 m, 7 ft door
Fits, but tightNot enough width to open the doors fully. Height 122 cm vs a 198 cm door.
Assumes a UK standard parking bay of 4.8 × 2.4 m and a typical UK single garage of 4.8 × 2.4 m inside (2.1 m high) with a 7 ft × 6 ft 6 in (213 × 198 cm) up-and-over door. Where we have no width-with-mirrors figure we add 20 cm to the body width. “Comfortably” leaves about 60 cm to walk round and open a door; “tight” means it goes in but getting out is awkward. Garages and bays vary a lot — measure yours and use the garage fit checker. For guidance only.
