    Fun to drive in town and interstate. Have made 2 2000 mile trips and the seating position for me is less fatiging than all vehicles I have owned.Fairly strong engine for vehicle this light in weight. Very tight, no rattles. I live in midwest and have to swap tires in winter for better traction. Did my homework, and found Falcon to be best for snow and rain. Have added stainless steel roll bar and Racing Beat stainless steel muffler. Plan to keep.

  • My Miata - 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata

    This is my second miata. I had a 2001 for a short time. I love the body style and the size of the car. It also handles very well.Its a lot of top down fun for a reasonable price.Gas mileage is good and I believe the repair costs will also be reasonable.I was also treated very well at the dealership. Things that I have not liked about the car include:cramped interior ( Im 510"),I would have liked more acceleration ( maybe the turbo) and the clutch shatters if you dont give it enough gas on take off from a standing start.

  • TALL PEOPLE BEWARE!!! - 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata

    Look, Ive had three Miatas. My first, a 93 that I bought used, got rear-ended by a whisky-drinker in a pickup truck. I rushed out and bought a nearly-identical second one. When it passed 200,000 miles (going strong I might add) I started shopping for a third, which I bought today - now I own _two_ of these things. My last twelve years of car buying expresses how very, very much I like this car better than any rodomontade I might compose. But. Im 511" tall, and this car fits me like a comfortable shoe. What that means if youre 61" or taller, or a likely regular passenger is, Im sorry but you really need to consider cars with a couple of inches more headroom.

  • Memorable First Car - 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata

    At 17, 2003 Special Edition #768 was mine until a couple of days ago, when I was run off of the highway. I am extremely grateful that this car was as safe as it was. At about 50 mph impact, I was able to get up and walk out of the car with several scratches and bruises. Worked hard to make payments, but I never got sick of working because I always got to drive that car home. This car was an absolute blast to own, and I wish I could have been with it for a good 200,000 miles. Got it up to 130 mph w/ 6-speed and room to climb higher!

    I bought this car as a fun alternative to my SUV and love every minute of driving it!! It makes daily sales calls fun and takes the edge off of all of the windshield time. On days when it is possible to pop the top, that is the most fun of all! With the wind blowing through your hair and the radio blairing, what could possibly equal that?!!!

  • This car is ok - 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata

    I bought this car as a novelty, you know 30 going on 31 dad trying to be cool. The vehicle is not very comfortable for tall people like me. it is fun to drive with the top down only as with the top up it can be quite painful for me. If someone were to ask if i would buy 1 again i would have to regretfully decline.

    Overall a great sports vehicle with low maintenance, great handling, priced a little high for limited options, no optional interior storage areas.
