Overview & Reviews

Only minor changes are in store for the Miata this year. Base models receive standard 16-inch alloy wheels, a strut-tower brace, larger brakes and a child seat anchoring system. Cloth replaces vinyl on the top of the LS model, and tan leather gives way to a lighter parchment-colored hide. Also, the LS receives aluminum-colored interior trim and, for the first time, black leather is available as an option. New options include a cargo net, an auto-dimming mirror with an integrated compass and outside temperature display and special bezels for the headlights and taillights.

• Tremendous fun to drive, excellent steering and handling, glass rear window with defogger.

• Small trunk, drones during freeway trips, tight cabin.

  Cant be beat - 2003 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By spete - February 5 - 10:00 am

  This is for a 2002. The caris greatfun. The car handles beautifully on both the straightaway and on curves. I bought a six speed but the difference between the fifth gear and the sixth gear is very little. If I did it over I would purchase the five gear. This car is what its all about when it comes to light weight top down sports cars. A touch more power wouldnt hurt but the car as it is has good power if you use the gears properly, that is take each gear to or near the red line. I had a probelm with the fuel tank, which was fixed by the dealer quickly with no questions asked.

  Look around first to get a feel for whats out there. You will know a nice one when you see it. Look for maintenance records.

  New and fresh indeed - 2003 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By Burt Lauderbaugh - January 14 - 11:40 am

  Anyone looking for a special used MX-5 should take the time and effort to find the Shinsen Edition, made only in 2003. It draws many looks and inquiries. Great gas mileage also. Close to 30 mpg with no babying at all. Just pure fun.

  Some nagging Problems - 2003 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By Hizz - January 13 - 10:00 am

  Love this car, but it does have some nagging problems. I had a 96 Secial Edition and was totally problem free. This one has had two recalls in the first 3 months of ownership and a clutch chatter problem that the dealer tells me is "normal". Cant believe that, but they swear its true.

  By czyber - January 13 - 10:00 am

  This is simply a great car that is loads of fun to drive. A real classic with supurb styling, high reliability, and excellent economy. Even though it is not high performance vehicle in terms of power, it certainiy makes up for it in many other ways. This car delivers plenty of driving pleasure!

  Finally! - 2003 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By rwantin - September 26 - 10:00 am

  My patience has been rewarded - I grew up in Michigan, and now live in So. Cal. A lifelong motorcyclist, it was here that I could finally get what I consider to be the finest 4-wheeled equivalent of a bike - a Miata! Grins from ear-to-ear, sensational handling, bulletproof reliability, and at a price that still cant be touched in this segment (sorry, I have never warmed up to the looks of the MR2). I now have a pleasant dilemma in the garage: Bike or car? This is indeed a classic roadster in the purest of (all) senses. Do yourself a favor - dismiss what anyone else thinks, and take one for a spin. You will not regret it.

  Zoom Zoom - 2003 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By celica_122 - May 9 - 8:36 pm

  Cup holders are a hassle. Small interior. But I wanted a roadster and got one. The most fun to drive of any car I have driven. Someone traded a BMW Z3 for a Miata the day I was at the dealership, so what does that tell you? This is (in my opinion) the best roadster you can buy. If I get depressed I just go for a ride in my Shinsen!

  Finally bought my Shinsen! - 2003 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By SluggoJD - April 19 - 2:00 am

  I agonized for an entire year, and finally did it last night. The car is exactly what I expected - mainly, beautiful yet muscular styling, perfect handling, great sound system, etc. I could go on and on - but other owners already know all the adjectives.
