My last car was a 94 LeBaron Convertible (I drive a convertible or I don't drive at all), and was immediately impressed by the speed and handling. This is a true sports car! Mine has 164k miles but runs great (except for the standard old car noises) if I baby it. Very fun to drive, get lots of compliments on it, and an ego boost every time I drive it....cheers!

This car is incredible to drive. It’s low to the ground, classic in nature, handles great, sounds great, and connects the driver to the road and surrounding elements. A lot of sports cars are so sophisticated and refined that they hinder the driving experience in many ways. The Miata is not the fastest nor as refined as many roadsters and sports cars but the sheer experience is among the best. I love my Miata and will keep it for many more years as a classic.

Oh BOY!! We just acquired my brother-in- law's 1990 (11/6/1989) Miata - white, low miles (8824 real miles), and it had it's first visit to our trustworthy mechanic ... "This car is still new (!) and needs to be driven regularly", he said, and we intend to. First repairs included: front main seal, timing belt, water pump, all belts, new thermostat and antifreeze; brakes AOK, hoses OK, a/c ? tires OK ... now we drive for awhile and see what's next ... 8^)
