Great little car. Don't forget it's intended purpose and you'll love it! More trunk room than before - a real plus. A little more power would be nice, but, this issue can easily addressed aftermarket. LS trim and suspension (drive both before you buy) upgrades are worth the money if you want to save yourself some aftermarket work.

I purchased a new Miata 3 years ago and, overall, I love the car. Its a blast to drive and handles very well. I understand that they added a six speed transmission, which it badly needs. Some minor issues with the car would be loss of power when the air conditioner is on and a rattle that occurs sometimes in the gear shift. Things that should be expected with this car are a small trunk and a lot of road noise at high speeds.

Great second car. Great fun for the buck. Would like a little more h.p. but not lacking much else.

I had a '99 Miata with a few options and was very impressed with the great handling, fun driving, and reliability it offered. To date the '99 has never seen the dealership again. Times changed and I could afford the exact Miata I wanted, a midnight blue with leather and sport suspension. It looks awesome. It feels a little more stable in bumpy turns thanks to some chasis bracing that was added this year. There is no power difference from '99 to '01 or '02 models. However, I love the car and it's many positive traits. The only negative is the driving position needs to be improved.
