The Hollywood Racks Express trunk mount bike carrier # HRE3 is listed as a fit for the 2009 Mazda Miata as long as it is a hardtop and not a soft top convertible. This is the 3 bike model but you can place 1, 2or 3 bikes on the 3 bike model if you want. It is important to place the heaviest bike closest to the vehicle and adhere to the 35 pound weight limit.

If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my son's bike at all. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
