I fell in love with the first Miata in 1990. I was a senior in high school at the time and could not afford to buy it. Well 11 years later, i finally did it. I have a 2001 sunlight silver LS model with the six speed transmission. what a great car. I love it. never think you cannot fit in it(I am five foot eleven and weigh 250 pounds) and yes a golf bag with clubs fits in the trunk.

The best car I have ever purchased

I’ll keep this very simple. It handles very good, the seats are not that comfy or supportive, especially if you’re a bigger person. The gas mileage is decent. If you drive it like a normal person you get okay gas mileage. It’s a slow car that feels fast. If you don’t know what I am taking about, drive a Miata and you’ll know. You can drive with the top down in 40-50 degree weather, just blast the heat. I absolutely love this car. It’s my daily driver until winter. Getting this car was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

For my money, there is no more fun per dollar available on earth than the Mazda Miata. I think the best part about this car is it's total IMpracticality! With too few horses to get into real trouble, you acutally get to work the gears on this car, and it handles superbly.

I had never considered a car to be fun before. This car is amazing. Having a bad day? Just climb in, drop the top and all is right with the world.
