Great fun litle car, for the money you can't beat it. Top up top down it's enjoyment all the way.

I've only had my new Blazing Yellow Special Edition Miata for a month, but so far so good. It's quite the headturner. I also bought the detachable hard-top and it really completes the look. People are constantly asking me "What kind of car is that?" Or one fellow said, "That's the best-looking Miata I've ever seen." That's nice to hear!

Had a Gen 1 blk/tan and reluctantly gave her up when i fell in love with the titanium/chocolate SE. Better ride, better seats, great car.

2001 SE Edition (the "BRG" model)

I just purchased a 2001 MX-5 SE Edition Miata and all I can say is "wow". This little gem turns heads at every stoplight and if past reliability history proves true, I should have plenty of fun years ahead of me. The wood trim and faux cloth tan top are real eye catchers as is the gorgeous British racing green paint job. No matter how bad a day I've had at work, all it takes is a few blocks in this lovely lady and I've got a grin on my face. Wonderful car.

When I was younger, I owned a Triumph and was recently considering buying a restored one for kicks. In the end, common sense won and I bought a six year old '02 Miata with about 45,000 km. Best decision, I ever made. Truly a fun, fun car to drive. Reminds me of the old British sports cars, but with updated power, engineering and reliability. You really do feel like part of the car when you drive. The engine is not big, but it has great torque. The power is in the right places when you shift and you get a great sense of acceleration and speed throughout every gear. You control the Miata; the car does not control you.
