Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Fun-to-drive character, excellent steering and handling, economical to run.

Cons

Small trunk, drones on the freeway, tight cabin.

What’s new

A Mazdaspeed version of the Miata makes its debut for 2004. New 16-inch alloy wheels are available and Black Cherry Mica is a new exterior color choice.

Edmunds says

Still the standard when it comes to delivering top-down thrills without breaking the bank.

TALL PEOPLE BEWARE!!!

2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata LS 2dr Roadster (1.8L 4cyl 5M)

Look, I've had three Miatas. My first, a '93 that I bought used, got rear-ended by a whisky-drinker in a pickup truck. I rushed out and bought a nearly-identical second one. When it passed 200,000 miles (going strong I might add) I started shopping for a third, which I bought today - now I own _two_ of these things. My last twelve years of car buying expresses how very, very much I like …

I love it!

2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata LS 2dr Roadster (1.8L 4cyl 5M)

Purchased the car used with 25,000 miles. It's my daily driver in the Florida sun. I love it! Handles sharply and precisely. Rough roads produce a rough ride. Not a surprise. Zero problems.

2004 Mazda MX-5 Miata Cloth 2dr Roadster (1.8L 4cyl 5M)

I love my little Miata! It's cute, cool and fun to drive! I especially like how it takes turns/curves and at an accelerated speed, too. BUT, I find myself doing ticketable (is that a word??) things just because I can! Call it my mid-life fling, but this is a car I'm happy to have met!
