Bought the car last October, I have owned MG's and Austin Healey Sprite. This car is as fun to drive as those but with great reliability. Red with automatic transmission - its a head turner and I cant keep my wife out of it. Replaced factory stereo, added style bars for a wind screen. 130,000 miles and runs great!!!

This car is, hands down, the best value for the money of any car. The car is bulletproof, the drivetrain is solid and reliable, maintenance is cheap and simple enough to do it yourself. This is my second Miata (first was a 1990). I keep testing the newer ones, thinking I'm going to trade it in, but I always go back to the rawer, lighter early 1990's cars. These cars are a blast to drive around town. You can wind it up, drive like a maniac, and still keep it under 60 and not draw undue attention. They are also super-fun on two lane country roads. If you have a long highway commute, it might not be the best choice, as the highway noise (mostly from other cars) gets tiresome.

Living in Temecula & working in National City ( 70 mile commute ) was killing my Ridgeline, so I bought this with a rebuilt engine. This car is an absolute blast to drive. I'm getting roughly 34 miles to the gallon and am just having so much fun in it. The previous owner had maintained this car as I would, taking care of every detail. I love it so much that i'm debating on selling my Ridgeline & using this as my primary. Possibly a bad idea, but do I really need a car payment for a truck I barely drive now :)

This is not a fast car. But most definitely a fun car. Theirs limited storage space but what do you expect from a 2 seater. Ive had no issues with the engine or the transmission. obviously buy a Fully Stock Miata. Usually the ones that are all modded are abused. In most cases. Other than that its been 4 years at 130,xxx miles with my miata and the only things ive done was oil change, oil pan gasket, slave cylinder and thats it. And those are pretty cheap. Ive had nothing but good come out of owning a 1990 and a 1992 mazda miata. NO major issues. but sometimes power windows will go out. That happened to both of my miatas.
