Its quite low to the ground. Overall for a 1991 its a sharp car. I absolutely love everything about it so far. Ive only owned it about 2 weeks but cant get enough of taking it out for a ride

Timeless roadster

I have owned 5 first generation Miatas since 2000. I got the bug when I lived in NC for many years.Stock Miata NA’s aren’t fast cars but in the mountains they handle like they are on rails.My present Miata is a 1991 that I’ve owned for over 10 years and recently got an antique tag for it.It has always been a Florida car from Sarasota. It’s very dependable and presentable but it’s because I’ve always kept up with the maintenance. It is 100% stock and I won’t part with it. My first roadster was a 1959 MGA which was a blast but not the least dependable.I’m 74 and as long as I can get in and out of it, it’s a keeper.

Very fun car to drive, handles well & comfortable after getting in. It reminds you of the classic British sports cars but without the problems & high maintenance.

Unbridled love for 29 years

My silver Roadster served me well and took me places never imagined in 1991. Originally hailing from Birmingham, it was never good in Massachusetts or Pennsylvania winters, although I learned to pull out of spins early on. And the silver paint failed to stick to the body, even after dealer repaintings. The ragtop wore out and I replaced with glass window and I had to have replacement power windows. Don’t mistake these comments as dissatisfaction because it was a perfect car! I will always love its roadster melody, the way it always started, the comfort of the seats, the Blaupunkt radio/cassette player in the seat headrest speakers blasting, “The Night Before” and Joni Mitchell “Morning Morgantown” living the dream. With under 77,000 original miles I had to gift it to my great nephew to continue the dream. My follow up car? Tesla Model 3. Silver of course!

Great fun car to drive. Gets noticed everywhere. Not practical as one's only car.
