  • I love it! - 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata

    Purchased the car used with 25,000 miles. Its my daily driver in the Florida sun. I love it! Handles sharply and precisely. Rough roads produce a rough ride. Not a surprise. Zero problems.

    It is a joy to get in it and feel the mini-power. And the good feeling I have while I am in it.

    I own a 1995 Mazda Miata MX-5. For a small as it is, it is a great car. Suprisingly, the Miata is very roomy on the inside and can comfortably seat a full size adult with some room to spare. THe accelleration and performance doesnt lag either. For as small as it is, its packs a powerful punch.

  • fun but tight - 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata

    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.

  • Miata--best kept secret - 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata

    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.

    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!

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

    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.

    This car has replaced my Harley Electra Glide because it is safer, more comfortable in adverse weather, yet it rides low to the ground and you can still "feel the road" and let the wind blow in your hair!
