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 … this car better than any rodomontade I might compose.
But.
I'm 5'11" tall, and this car fits me like a comfortable shoe.
What that means if you're 6'1" or taller, or a likely regular passenger is, I'm sorry but you really need to consider cars with a couple of inches more headroom.
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!
