  A great toy and dependable car! - 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By 2005 Mazda MX5 Miata - December 25 - 8:46 pm

  Im 70 years old and have owned Jaguars, X19s and many small convertibles. I LOVE MY MIATA MX5! It hates snow and so do I, so it remains in its heated garage all winter but when its ready to go so am I. I feel safe and comfortable in it. I wish I were younger, Id be in the new 2008 with the upgrade! I take it to the mountains a lot and appreciate the way it handles and takes the upgrades with power to spare! As far as looks go? How can you beat it? Thanks Mazda.

  Fun, Freakin Awesome Sports Car! - 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By 3rd Wright Brother - June 19 - 11:53 am

  When I searched for a new car I wanted a convertible. I researched all the different models and within a week I ordered a Mazda Miata. It was the best convertible available and exactly what I was looking for. It had power, great handling, style, and I loved how easy it was to put the top down. It takes me less than three seconds to put the top down or put it back up. A lot of other convertibles on the market required two people to lower or raise the top. I have driven my Miata to so many places, but driving through the Rockies was my favorite. The small back road to Aspen was the most breathtaking journey ever and the Miata was a joy to drive.

  Buy a Miata - 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By Burt Lauderbaugh - June 16 - 6:56 pm

  Great car. Had an MGB in the 60s and this is more fun, much peppier, and ,definitely more reliable. Like the style on the 2005 better than older models and better than the new one being previewed in the press now. It will definitely be a long term love affair.

  This is the most fun and reliable car Ive ever had! It handles so well. Its great on gas. Let me tell you, the trunk is plenty big enough. When I go grocery shopping, I can pack two weeks of groceries in there! For the cost compared to other convertibles, this is a great little car. Im spoiled, Ill always have to have a Miata for the rest of my life!! Zoom Zoom!!!

  I Love My Miata - 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By Tony - March 13 - 2:23 am

  Ever since the Miata first came out, I was in love with it! Now, after 10 years I finally got one and the thing most people would be surprised at is that I got rid of a 2001 Audi A6 2.7T Quattro Sport and the Miata is what I replaced it with! I have never had a car that is so much fun to drive! There are many cars that I considered to purchase; the Boxster, BMW Z4, and other more expensive cars, but when it came down to fun for the money and most importantly, reliability and not having to go to the dealer just to change a lightbulb, the Miata won the contest and I have never been happier with a car in my life! If youre thinking of buying one... do it. You wont regret it.

  Mazda Miata - 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By CRBACSW - January 3 - 6:53 pm

  This car is stylish and a lot of fun to drive. Handles corners well. Turns a lot of heads and receives a lot of thumbs up from onlookers. It is not real good with bumps - but then again it is a small sports car!

  A truly fun vehicle to drive. Tight into the corners and curves, good power for the needs. Great feeling on the highway, with the top down, sun shinning. Zoom - Zoom!!

  A joy to drive! - 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By Rick - August 4 - 6:50 pm

  Now two years old, this is the most fun car Ive had in my life (Im 65)! I cant take the smile off my face each time Im in it. Plenty of power, terrific handling, and great, great after-market products. Miata clubs all over the country and the world which make it a joy everywhere you go. I dont know anyone whose had one and regretted it I know at least five people who have 2 or more of these cars. Its like a small vacation each time you get in it. It appeals to ALL ages and gathers a crowd everywhere you go--even more when you travel with a club.

  This car has been the car of my dream ever since I was in high school. The wait was worth it. This car is so much fun to drive, especially with the top down.

  Retirement Car - 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By Great Gramma - March 10 - 10:30 am

  I purchased my 97 Miata when I was 60 years old and newly retired - 8 yrs ago! I enjoy it as much today as when it was brand new. I had wanted one for years. We drove Lincolns and other large cars but this was to be my car. Granted, it has low mileage (65,000) but its never had a problem other than something very minor. I love it! Just cant say that enough. Terrific MPG, great get-up-and-go, loves the mountain curves I drive and sounds wonderful - that Miata muffler just cant be beat and, it looks absolutely fantastic. It always gets comments as we drive it to church and around town all the time. Get one - youll never regret it.
