  Mazda M5 - 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By Laura Bromme - February 22 - 6:56 pm

  Have owned the Audi TT convertible and this is equally comparable at half the price. Fun design which separates you from all the other Miatas.

  By Dave - February 16 - 5:56 am

  I amways wanted a little convertable but could never afford one. This Miata is to me what the Model T Ford was to America. Affordable, Practical, Fun to Drive. My wife and I are over 50 and have a great time every week end in this Little Car...in short its great.

  Big smile car - 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By eric - January 25 - 5:36 am

  I think this is the most fun car I ever had. Anyone looking for a big trip to smile city will love it. Obviously if you have a family it could only be a second or (toy) car. But single folks will find no problem filling up that second seat. I can only compare it to a go kart I had as a kid. Wishing I could ride that kart all over the place. Now I can and I can put the top up when it rains. MPG is great. Now if I can keep it away from my kids. They can get their own toy. Drive one... you will be hooked

  Used Car Bargain - 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By DAC989 - December 7 - 10:20 am

  These are the cars that make driving fun. Bought this one used with under 4K miles for my 2 or 3 commute days but has also become the date car for my wife and me. The interior was very efficiently designed and the trunk has more room than you would think. Getting a little over 27 mpg. For the price, you cannot beat this car.

  zoom zoom = FUN - 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By JIMMIE - December 2 - 11:16 am

  We purchased the 2005 MX5 Mazda Speed; its Red with 6 speeds, leather and turbo engine. The car runs like the wind, it is fun to drive and performs well on the highway. The first 3 tanks of fuel, we got an average of 30 MPG. It does require premium but its worth the additional cost when related to the FUN of driving it. I am an average size guy 510" 175 and it is very comfortable. Even 4-6 hour rides are comfortable. We waited for the 06s to come out but liked the 05s better, the 05 is more comfortable. The trunk fits two bags of golf clubs. With the top up its as quiet as can be expected. This vehicle really turns heads and we get a lot of thumbs up. Bottom line, its fun to drive.

  Outstanding machine - 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By Diego - May 1 - 9:53 pm

  This is a car that makes you smile when you drive it. I am extremely satisfied with my Miata, I think the only thing I would improve in this car is the little trunk space.

  Great Fun - 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By Greg Bottini - March 10 - 12:33 am

  While giving a friend a ride, I decided to turn around. As I hit the brake, we came up to a gravel side road with lots of sand and gravel on the highway. I expected a slide but to my amazment we got a smooth rapid deceleration. This car holds the road like it is magnetized. Ive seldom gotten less than 30 miles to the gallon reguardless of city or highway driving.

  mazdaspeed miata - 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By mph110 - June 7 - 10:00 am

  I recently bought a new Mazdaspeed Miata. It it great fun to drive, perhaps the best handling car I have ever driven, no doubt due to the low body wieght. It is a great looking car, with red stitched leather seats, 17" racing Hart 5 spoke alloy wheels, aluminum pedals, etc. It replaced a 4 year old boxster, and I could not be happier or more satified with the purchase. It is not an all weather car, and cannot be driven in the snow or even wet weather with the 205/40 low profile Toyo Proxes tires. However, it is a great fair weather vehicle, perfect for top down fun.
