Great car. I found one in excellent condition at the beginning of the summer and it has been nothing short of incredible. Very sturdy and reliable. Easily the most fun car I've ever owned.

I've had my '90 for 6 years now, and still have a grin from ear to ear when I drive it. My only caveat is when you have the top up at night every shake and rattle is amplified. Use it when you can put the top down, and it becomes your best little playmate!

There are many of these 26 year old classics on the market. You will not be disappointed . Priced under $4000 it can't be beat. Not alot of true sports cars left that are affordable, this one is. Parts are still available and reasonable for this car. The resale value seems to be climbing as it will be harder to find as the years go on. Now 30 years old and runs like new.

My 1990 has just many add on's like super charger and exhaust system by Jackson Racing (Moss Motors), Flyin' Miata F1 suspension roll bar, cruise control, hard top, 15" wheels with Toyo T1R tires, lots of chrome and polished aluminum under the hood, shark teeth in the grille opening, tow bar setup to take the car on vacation, upgraded stereo, speakers and headres speakers, wood steering wheel and so on. Regular maintenance form a good shop, synthetic fluids and regular polishing will make your shine like mine.
