A Blast!

The MX-5 spawned a true revolution in the automotive world, and has since gone on to become the best selling 2 seater ever -- and no wonder! This car is ridiculously fun to drive. You point it, and it goes! A tiny bit of driver induced oversteer will make it spin and zip right where you want it to go. Great fuel economy and superb reliability -- even in mine, which was burning a tiny bit of oil more than a year and a half ago when I first got it. Despite the abuse I've heaped upon it, it is still running strong.

I have owned my 91 Miata since new and 183,000 miles later its still running like a dream. In all that time the only non maintenance items it has needed are some new plug leads, a couple of oil seals on the front of engine and the exhaust heatshield rebalanced. It still burns no oil. Handling has always been great and I recently added some Michelin Pilots which made it even better. Running costs are phenominally low. Great gas mileage, brakes and tires last for ever.

Classic design, incredible handling, reliable, inexpensive - the Miata is everything that the MG tried to be and should have been. Everything on the car is been designed superbly, and Mazda hasn't cut any corners in the build quality. The car is perfect for the person without any kids! The reviews I've read actually prefer the Miata to it's higher-powered rivals, such as the Z-3 and RX-7, because of its low weight - and the fun factor!

I just purchased this car on 2-25-03 and from what I've driven it, I know that it will stay with me for some time to come. It has 126,418 miles on it, but from looking at the reviews, it looks like I'll be using this car from some time to come! Although it is a '91, it has a new top and paint job, which makes it really appealing to look at. The handling is GREAT...point and go! I cannot think on any way to improve on the fun. I'm looking at finding a MIATA club here in Ringgold, Georgia--help. I know I made a good purchase for my $4200.00 bucks.

Was purchased in 94 for 4k. Had 122k miles. Great fun to drive with the top up or down. Started in the winter with no problems. Has a great heater and a/c. Standard shift that is smooth and easy. I just change the oil at 3k miles. No repairs needed, except for a new battery. I get 35 miles on the highway. Combined with low depreciation and fun driving, you cant beat it.
