For 2008, the Mazda MX-5 Miata sees only minor feature changes, a new Special Edition trim level and a 5-horsepower drop for automatic transmission-equipped Miatas.

• Huge fun factor, precise steering and handling, low base price, economical to operate.

• Still snug for bigger folks, stability control is only available on the top trim level.

  Excellent handling as it corners better than anything I have driven. Good acceleration, great mileage/design, and fun to drive! Insuring this sports car is an unexpected bargain! What more could you ask for?

  Great little car! - 2008 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By jph - October 15 - 5:06 pm

  Keeping in mind that no car is perfect, Im not scoring a 10. This is my daily driver, commuter and grocery getter, it will be driven all year round (dont get any snow here) my baby girls car seat is permanently secured in the passenger seat. The 2.0 has plenty of power, but the car is not "fast" by any means. However, it can change direction faster than most cars, and this is where the MX-5 shines. Very nimble out of the box, it handles just great. A little bit more body roll than Id like though. Lightweight, 50/50 weight distribution, double wishbone suspension, sticky tires, rear wheel drive. Close ratio manual 6 speed; a true sportscar.

  just better over the years - 2008 Mazda MX-5 Miata

  We have a 1993 Mazda which is fun to drive and has been dependable and mostly bulletproof for years. The refinement of the 2008, purchased new in 2009,is very impressive. The quick drop convertible top is just wonderful for changing moods and fun factors.
