  Great car - 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By Angie Horvath - September 2 - 7:48 am

  A little more than I wanted to pay but worth it.

  Immensely fun - 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By Jack Pyle - March 27 - 2:51 pm

  Acceleration and cornering make this an amazingly fun car to drive. It is totally impractical as far as storage is concerned: no glove box or door slots for maps, trunk will hold one carry on and a small tote bag. But who cares? Zoom, zoom. I love the blind spot monitoring and rear warnings of cars behind when backing up. Its comfort is tops. I love it more and more as I drive it.

  Driving is now FUN! - 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By MyIndy - March 16 - 1:00 am

  I just got my MX-5 on Monday (9.28.15) and I am just ecstatic about it. For the money, it just cant be beat. I got the Club edition mainly because it was available (very hard to find one at all in my area) but the Ceramic color, black side mirrors, and spoilers and gray wheels was the kicker for me. Sure the ride is a little bumpier but it will be "bomb" on track days. There are a few things I would change on the next model, like a flat bottom steering wheel (which you can buy an aftermarket one) and padding for your right knee against the the console, the CX-5 has it. The car can go, as in fast. I cant believe what they did under the hood. It is really a blast! But what this car does best...is going around corners...it can handle anything. I am 63" and 215 and I still fit like a glove. I dont think anyone bigger can get in or out. I seats (with red stitching) are very comfortable also. I got them adjusted all the way back and feels great. I am getting 27.5 mpg right now around the city and of course showing it off, Im hitting the pedal...a lot. As of March 2016, I am getting over 35mpg on the hwy., using premium gas and I have gotten as much as 38mpg. 5000 mile update: I had my first oil change, I went with synthetic oil since that is what came with the vehicle, I think this is the way to go in the long run. I am getting so many looks and people coming up to the car and saying how much they like it. I never had that happen to me before. I think I have something special. I just love it. Zoom Zoom!

  Loving the Club! - 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata

  Almost perfect - 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By Michael DeNinno - January 12 - 5:58 am

  The Mazda MX-5 Miata incredibly fun to drive. The Grand Touring trim level is nicely equipped with current technology. However, the absence of a rearview backup camera is a glaring oversight. Sitting low with high headrests, rollover bars, and windscreen, it is virtually impossible to see if anything is behind the vehicle. The cross-traffic alert system helps. But, having a visual of any obstacles (without having to put down the convertible top), would allow far more confidence when backing up.

  Lead Foot Lucy is Happy - 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By Caryn Krisha - December 31 - 2:21 pm

  I tend to be have a lead foot when driving. I have driven stick shifts my whole life. The shifting is very smooth and easy. I love that this car takes regular gas (over my last convertible car that required premium). That in itself is a savings. So far, Im averaging 34 mpg around town (my last car only got 25 around town). I wish the cup holders and cd player were easier to access, but not a deterrent to not purchase this car. This car, with the top down and the windows up, really keeps the car warm on those cooler, but sunny days. Too many kits (medical, roadside) to keep in the small trunk. The trunk is deep but not wide enough to accommodate a set of golf clubs. I still think this car is a good value for the money. Love the automatic car locks when you walk away. My last car was a 2006, so the new bells and whistles are very impressive to me.

  Imperfect for all the right reasons! - 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By Captain Flounder - July 6 - 4:35 am

  Looking for a great convertible that makes no pretenses about being anything else? Look no further. The 2016 Mazda Miata is a rolling smile factory. Quick enough with limits low enough you can exploit them daily. Try to say that about an exotic sports car. You cant. Is it perfect? Absolutely not. It is loud. It is cramped. There is little space for anything. In the end, it doesnt matter. The car is just fun. Mazda knows convertibles. The heater can probably melt lead. The seat heat works quickly. You can drive this in any weather. It has all the convenience features you need like bluetooth and USBs but nothing is state of the art. Who cares when the top is down and youre driving briskly through curvy roads? Well done Mazda! Updated with just over 5000 miles: Ive used the vehicle as a daily driver now for over six months. My only true aggravation is the lane departure warning system. It is EXTREMELY sensitive even when set to its least sensitive setting. If you turn it off, you have to deal with an annoying light on the instrument panel. If you pack smartly with flexible luggage, you can get a fair amount in the trunk. Bluetooth works well even with the top down and driving at highway speeds. That was a little bit of a surprise. And the car is still loud. When you start it, youll think a window is cracked. But in reality, none of this matters because the car is engaging to drive. Id buy one again in a second! Updated with 10000 miles: Still love the car. It is still loud and impractical. No mechanical issues and gas mileage continues to be ~ 35mpg in mixed driving (and I do not baby the throttle). Aside from wishing it had a wee bit more leg room, not too much else to complain about. Buy one; you wont regret it!

  Great, except... - 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By frank - August 16 - 12:51 pm

  Driving everyday for 4 months now, there is a lot to love about the car, provided that you understand what you are buying--a sports car. Grading its comfortable ride, storage area, etc, makes no sense--buy an Escalade if thats what you want. I love this car, just like I did my first Miata 15 years ago before I moved to a Mustang GT. This time around, I was torn about getting a new Mustang or going back to the MIata--really different cars, so no way to compare exactly. My only gripe (which I have found from others on Miata forums) is that the left drivers seat headrest speaker buzzes, apparently due to vibration of foam in the headrest rather than the speaker itself. My dealer brushed off the complaint, stating that speakers just do that with a lot of bass (we were talking about the spoken voice on talk radio!), so I have just adjusted the fade toward the front speakers. So, I love the car, except.....

  Fantastic and fun car - 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By Joe goeke - November 2 - 4:50 pm

  Top is super easy to put up and down on a whim. Handling is un matched especially for this price. Super practical around town, im getting 34 mpg average.

  Very Impressed - 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  By Johnb - September 22 - 11:07 am

  As a client advisor for a European car company Im surrounded by performance based and elegant roadster vehicles. The Miata fits in right with all of them. While its not as power as some of its main competitors, the handling, the drive, and price of this vehicle are phenomenal. The vehicle is very user friendly, technologically advanced, and fun to handle. Very appealing while also providing and entertaining drive.
