Review
I have a black Miata with tan interior leather with the Nardi stick shifter. I was moving to Florida and wanted a weekend car. My first choice was a MR2, but no luck on one in good condition. My brother had a 91 with 170000 miles with no problems so I bought one. I have not done any major work in 6 years. Only oil changes, put synthetic gear fluid and a set of plugs and air filter. I did have to replace the top but for 560 dollars including labor you can't beat. I am running Mobil 1 synthetic and I get 31 MPG and tha'ts with the air running half the time. Anyone looking for an inexpensive convertible and does not mind go-cart type ride and handling then this is the car for you.
Favorite Features
The short throw stick shift, rear end, the speakers in the head rest, and the way the engine purrs at 60 mph and above.
Suggested Improvements
More leg room, an armrest on the door, more storage compartments, a dome light up around the mirror.

Review
I bought a new Miata in 1992 but was forced to trade it in 1994 while pregnant with my first child. It's been ten years but I've finally purchased another one. I wanted the car "bare bones," no power accessories, and I found one that fit my description. This car is so much fun to drive and such a good buy for the money. I even enjoy the fact that it's a 1st edition Miata (the headlights are hidden). I don't plan on getting rid of this one! I highly recommend the Miata. They hold their value well and they become a car that you can get very attached to. I'm already planning to buy another used one!
Favorite Features
Color (red), Manual transmission.
Suggested Improvements
The car is great as is.

This is my summer car. Fun car to drive, even for a teenager! I'm 18 years old, and I just love driving the car. Great manual transmission, short throws. Great handling, near 50-50 weight, Great turning car. Get good MPG with the 1.8L

Could use a bit more power in acceleration, but I'm not complaining too much.

Review
I've had my Miata for 1.5 years or so, and it's been a pretty good car. The mechanical quality is very good, and the interior is holding up well, too. This car is super, super fun to drive. I've never owned a car that's been more enjoyable behind the wheel. It does require that you keep up with the maintance regularly, but if you do, it should be trouble free.
Favorite Features
Fun to drive, dropping the top, fun to drive, handles very well, fun to drive...
Suggested Improvements
Good quality, but not Toyota level. Not a great winter car (duh!) but this is my only car, so I have to suffer w/it. Snow tires definetly needed for winter use.
