1994 Mazda MX-5 Miata 2dr Convertible

About 2 months ago I bought a 1994 Miata equipped with the B-Package and ABS. It had 53,XXX miles on it, had never been in an accident, and had all the records. I got the car for $3,000. This has hands down been one of the best gamble of my life. I absolutely loves this little car. Its a blast to drive, still feels as solid as a rock (especially for an mid 90's convertible), gets great …

The Best Sportscar I have EVER Owned

1994 Mazda MX-5 Miata M-Edition 2dr Convertible

I have owned a '73 Z-29, (2) 1972 240-Zs, a 1971 Series 1 240Z, a 1969 Mustang GT and a 1978 Corvette. All had great points and glaring weaknesses. The Miata has no glaring weaknesses but some off-the-chart strengths. This is easily the best handling car I have ever driven.

1994 Mazda MX-5 Miata M-Edition 2dr Convertible

I have a 1994 M-edition and man, it is great. For the price, I am awestruck by the handling.

I've taken sharp turns at …

1994 Mazda MX-5 Miata M-Edition 2dr Convertible

I bought this car several years ago having wanted one for a long time. it had over 125K on the clock and needed a top, shocks and seats, but the body and mechanicals were good. I gave it a new top, opting for a heated glass cloth top. I reupholstered the seats in leather. Upgraded the shocks and installed sway bars. I haven't enjoyed driving this much since my Fiat days in the 70s.
