This is my 3rd miata and I love every minute I am in it! This car looks like a mini Jag and is more fun to drive. What more can you say about a car that looks good, fun to drive past the pumps and will never leave you stranded on the side of the road! Total miles I put on my 3 miata's is 225,000 and never had to do more than normal service, lets see BMW owners say that!

Great looking car and a lot of fun to drive with the 6-speed. The interior comfort is fine. My only problem has been with the clutch pedal being too close to the left footrest on the floor. The car runs and performs flawlessly. The Bose music system is also great. Gas mileage has been around 26 mpg so far.

100,000+ miles and still feels new

I bought a 2004 Miata MX-5 used with 107,000 miles on it from a 72 yr old man, who bought it from an 81 year old man. I'm 62. I spent $5000 for it with the hardtop. I invested $5000 in it to replace the top, the cat-converter, new high end stereo, detail, brakes and a few other things. At 13 years old, the car is tight and desirable to drive and now worth every bit of the 10k I have in it. I sold hundreds of sports cars in the 80s, but never bought one myself until now - although I have had a penchant for luxury coupes and sedans. My mechanic tells me I got a steal here locally, given the condition and the fact I also got a hardtop with it. One of the best used car values I've ever run across.

I am 65 wife is 64.We planned a trip to Las Vegas to watch our Son Thunderbird #1 fly his last show. Taking delivery on the Miata we drove to Daytona Beach, Fl. Put the rear wheels in the Atlantic and headed to Ca. where we put the front wheels in the Pacific.The Miata performed excellent at high altitude with steep climbs. On Interstate 40 we set the cruise on 80. We drove in hard rain and rough Interstate. No Leaks, No rattles. We logged 7000 miles in less than 4 weeks. Fuel Consumption 30+mpg. "We love this Car"

THis engine gets everything wrung out of it that is possible. Running at3500 RMP she simply sings down the highway! Excellent in "down shift and up throttle" mode. With the factory- installed spoiler on the trunk lid, it tends to settle the rear end at higher speeds.
