  A must-drive before you buy - 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By Westcin - December 9 - 10:00 am

  Wow. I thought the "fun drive" thing was hype, but I was wrong. A real joy to drive. I drove them all, Porche Boxster, Audi TT, Nissan 300, BMW Z-4. Thought I was going to get the Z-4 until I drove the Miata....AND I can get my golf clubs in the trunks - NO OTHER CONVERTIBLE COULD DO THIS - and its about 60% of the price of the Z-4.

  This my second one and I will get a thir - 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By PhilPhil55 - October 21 - 10:00 am

  This a great car...more fun under 60 mph than any car I have ever driven which includes the Audi GT Coup...Porsche 944....BMW735iL...MB CLK320. The car can turn on a dime,keep its traction [except in very cold weather] and gets compliments anywhere I go.The price is a home run but the fun is too much to put into words.

  Pure Driving Fun! - 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By tomakat - September 14 - 2:00 am

  I was looking for a vehicle that I could have fun with, but keep me out of trouble with the speeding tickets (grin). I also wanted it to reasonably priced and reliable. Thats when I decided to test drive a Miata. I didnt need or want a convertible, but I heard how well it handled. Well, I purchased a 1999 LS and absolutely loved it. I then fell in love with the 2003 Miata (Shinsen Edition), so I traded my 1999 LS. I never had any mechanical problems with either of them and I just love sunny days so I can zoom zoom zoom down to the beach and cruise the coast or head to a twisty road!

  Great, Sporty Car - 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By lmo722 - August 2 - 2:00 am

  Thia vehicle is great for anyone who likes the wind in their hair. It is fun to drive, runs great and have good fuel economy. It is relatively cheap compared to the other 2 seater convertables. Only problem would be comfort for a tall or overweight person. But for the small this car is a dream!

  fun but tight - 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By jeff schwartz - July 22 - 10:00 am

  car drives very well: steering control is terrific, makes tight turns, brakes on a dime. Fast on highway but very noisey. cabin is very tight and uncomfortable on long drives. outer design is beautiful but front end gets beat up alot by hellen keller parkers in the city. No front bumper to stop nicks and scratches by license plate area. All around fun drive for about 1 hour and then discomfort settles in. Car is a death trap in snow, ice and slush. Car easily gets stranded on snowy days.

  Car Puts A Smile On Your Face - 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By consuela - March 16 - 10:00 am

  I Love my car. What can I say. It makes you happy when you are driving it. Wish they never change a thing about the car. Why mess with perfection. I may seem bias, but go into a dealership and drive one, chances are you will either lease it or buy it.

  Miata--best kept secret - 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By Roadhugger - February 18 - 2:00 am

  Purchased a 2000 Miata for my wife in June of 2003. I thought the car was a joke until I drove it. Interior is a little small for me but perfect for my wife. The cars handling is outstanding and cant be beat on those curvy, hilly roads. Maybe a little underpowered at the start but once rolling its got plenty of getup and go. Even with an automatic transmission the economy is great at 26mpg around town and over 30mpg on the open road. Plus the car appears to be well built with perfect alignment of doors, hood,trunk lid and body panels. Im now a Miata nut who leaves his T-top Camaro in the garage and takes the Miata out to burn up the roads.

  the mean machine - 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By kevin W - February 8 - 10:00 am

  extreme turning, add a turbo-charger to it and it will keep up with the new corvette. as it is, it can take over a lot of cars on the road due to it light weight design and rear-wheel drive. its a very fun car to drive. if your really interested, you can now get a MAZDA SPEED version which comes with a turbo already. a test drive will sell the car. have fun!

  Miata Mamas Fun Toy! - 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By Madam X - January 27 - 10:00 am

  I love my little Miata! Its cute, cool and fun to drive! I especially like how it takes turns/curves and at an accelerated speed, too. BUT, I find myself doing ticketable (is that a word??) things just because I can! Call it my mid-life fling, but this is a car Im happy to have met!

  The car that made driving FUN again. - 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By ckwalden2 - November 13 - 2:00 am

  My first Miata was a 2000 standard edition; 5speed, cloth/vinyl interior, factory stereo/cd, standard suspension and wheels etc... I drove it for about a year and loved every minute of it.I missed it from the moment it was gone. Now, 2 years later, I have a 01 LS 6- speed, Nardi interior, leather, Bose Stero/cd, CC, sport whls/tires and suspension. As well as the standard model handled, I was shocked and amazed at how much better the LS handles. This car corners like it is on rails. Its definitely not a muscle car, it has plenty of pep and I get 30 mpg hwy, and 20-25 city.I highly recommend the Miata to anyone who wants to enjoy driving again!
