    This is the most fun and enjoyable car I have owned in years. We will be taking it on some long trips soon but so far it is a great car. Trunk space is small but great for weekends. Power enough for large hills and fast enough for the freeways. Just not a winter car, too low to the road and the top is always up because of the snow and cold. I you like the MGs of the past you will love the MX5.

    You can get a power to weight ration that will rival super sport cars with the many aftermarket options. This car was designed as a convertible, so there is not the "second guess force and fit" with most other convertibles. This is the car that started the roadster revelution in 1990 as the car of the year. It has ranked in the Top 10 cars ever since.

    THis engine gets everything wrung out of it that is possible. Running at3500 RMP she simply sings down the highway! Excellent in "down shift and up throttle" mode. With the factory- installed spoiler on the trunk lid, it tends to settle the rear end at higher speeds.

  • Had to have it - 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata

    This is my second Miata. Had a 2001 that got creamed by an SUV that ran a red light in 2002. The car was destroyed almost beyond recognition. I ended up in a shock trauma unit with a devastating right leg injury that will be with me for the rest of my life. After 13 months I was able to return to work and went right out and brought a new Miata. This sucker is just plain addictive fun.

    This is my other car. Ive been wanting to own a miata since I first test drove one in 1995. However, I was a student with no income, so no car. Ive been driving a SUV for past 5 years. I got this miata for my birthday and it is FUN. I love the handling and open air driving experience. The design is very nice, reminiscent of the old Jag E- types.

  • First New Car - 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata
    By -

    The 2004 Mazda Miata Mx-5 is my first car. The handeling is great, and while its a little lacking in acceleration power, the car makes up for it because its so fun to drive. I learned how to drive stick on it, and I had no problems. The clutch isnt tricky at all. (I had previously driven automatics.) The car turns heads. The exterior is amazing. The interior is a bit tight. The cup holders are in an awkward spot. You can hit them with your elbows. The sound system is great. You can hear everything clearly with the top down.
