This is the best car Ive ever had. Its reliable, fun to drive and inexpensive. Over 10 years of virtually trouble-free fun and it runs and looks like the day I bought it. I still get over 30 mpg around town! Except for some paint chips from rocks kicked up by others the appearance is perfect. Ive got a hardtop I use all winter, so the original convertible top is still good. And a dealer installed ground effects package makes it look like the 2000+ versions. Original clutch and exhaust are still in good shape.

These cars will run forever with the proper care and feeding. Not real fast or comfortable but best driving experience you will find for the price. Dealer service not real great, suggest you find a shop that has history with Import cars and has reasonable hourly rates. (75-85 per hour) Found the car a year ago sitting under a pine tree in someones front yard. Had been there for about 2 years but had been started and run on occasion. I had owned one about 30 years ago and loved it so there was no question as to if I was going to buy it. Got the owner down to $1200 and away I went. Car has 184,000 miles on it which is roughly 7,500 miles a year. I've put about $4,000 in parts ie: clutch, shocks, driveshaft and u-joints etc. So for just about $6K I've got a true classic roadster and... it's paid for

Now I know why the other reviews were so high. I just bought a 91 Miata 2 weeks ago It was in perfect condition It has 81k miles average of about 5500 miles per year. I paid $3800. It is so fun to drive and handles great. Just like driving a go-cart. The inside and outside of the car looks new. It had new tires and rims put on. The timing belts done. New top with glass window. Momo steering wheel. Short shifter. I plan on keeping this car for awhile. I constantly want to drive somewhere. My last car was a Benz C220 and I don't miss it at all.

86K miles. It burns no oil at all, gets real world commuting 30 miles mpg & I whole heartedly trust its reliability. Still in great shape. I've test driven many new 2004 sports cars but find that this used Miata honestly handles better. It definitely lacks the horsepower, but it makes it up because it is so balanced and exceptionally lighter (~2,100 pounds). Nothing beats its rear wheel drive with 50:50 weight distribution on double-wishbones on all four corners! The pedal placement is located very well for "heal and toe" down shifts. I am always amused how much FUN I have driving it, every single time. It is for drivers "in the know"...
Nice Sport Car!

Bought this Miata with 72k miles to drive around instead of my gas guzzling truck. Wow, this little car is fun! Great performer, solid, almost bullet proof. I did so minor stuff like changing the tires, changing the original shocks, a new valve cover gasket and a new rubber boot for the shifter. These were all normal maintenance items and I have to say that the car runs like new. I previously owned a 2004 Honda S2000 and that was one nice roadster. This Miata does not fall too behind the S2000 and it only cost me $4.000. What a deal, it is so much fun, I am keeping it!
