    Have had a Miata since 1989. Still the best deal in a roadster around. You can spend more for power and automation but you cant have more fun for the price.

  • Is there any more fun than this? - 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata

    Its a great curve-hugging ride that looks clean, cool, and doesnt break your wallet. Ive test-driven BMW, Porsche, Audi, Toyota, and Honda convertibles ... none of them come close to the practical fun of a Miata. Zoom, zoom, zoom!

  • Excellent Auto - 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata

    I love this car. Have had it for one year and with no problems of any kind. More fun to drive than you could imagine. Cant drive it with the top down without getting comments from other drivers on how great it looks. But the performance is amazing - it handles curves like a dream - at 120 mph. it feels the same as 60 mph. - the milage is pretty good at around 35 highway and 30 city. If you are considering buying a Miata, by all means dont overlook the Boss stereo system, best system I have ever heard (and I am 60 yrs. old by the way and have heard my share of systems). I give it a big thumbs up.

  • Miatas Deliver... - 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata

    Most people who buy Miatas are looking for a sports car feel and the absolute fun of driving top-down. The Miata really delivers on both. Weve had one since 1997 and cant imagine ourselves without one. The car is also extremely reliable in our experience. It starts and goes every time we ask it to. There may be faster roadsters, but I cant imagine having any more fun driving one of them.

  • Great Car - 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata

    I just got this car, I have had it 2 weeks the best to drive and the coolest car I have ever had!

  • Fantastic! - 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata

    Though the Miata is a small car, it is remarkably comfortable. The manual transmission has a lot more pickup than the automatic, so I recommend the manual.

  • New Miata Special Edition - 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata

    Great looking car and a lot of fun to drive with the 6-speed. The interior comfort is fine. My only problem has been with the clutch pedal being too close to the left footrest on the floor. The car runs and performs flawlessly. The Bose music system is also great. Gas mileage has been around 26 mpg so far.

    This is my 3rd miata and I love every minute I am in it! This car looks like a mini Jag and is more fun to drive. What more can you say about a car that looks good, fun to drive past the pumps and will never leave you stranded on the side of the road! Total miles I put on my 3 miatas is 225,000 and never had to do more than normal service, lets see BMW owners say that!

  • Mazda Miata Convertible.......LOVE IT!!! - 2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata
