2008 Mazda MX-5 Miata Sport 2dr Convertible (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

I bought this car as a summer toy and alternative commuter vehicle instead of my gas guzzling SUV. I had also considered the Pontiac Solstice, but found the level of fit, finish and refinement greater in the MX-5. It's obvious that improvements in the 19 years of production put the MX-5 as the front runner of affordable roadsters. It doesn't have the performance of a Porsche Boxster, or the panache of a BMW Z4, but at less than half the price, who cares! Popping the top down in 3 seconds for the drive home on a sunny day is priceless.

2008 Mazda MX-5 Miata Grand Touring 2dr Convertible w/Power Hard Top (2.0L 4cyl 6M)

The pre-upgrade MX-5 (NC) does not have the forged crankshaft and other tweaks--including revised suspension--that were installed on its later NC (smiley faced) brothers and sisters... but it still offers loads of smiles per mile. I'm always eager to reacquaint myself with the little tear about every Spring--and am invariably sad when I have to "put it to bed" in the Fall.

I've had my 2008 Special edition for 4 years. It's been very reliable, fantastic handling and easy to look at. I've added a performance exhaust, cold air intake, chrome radiator over flow, chrome power steering overflow, performance light weight flywheel and clutch kit.
Best 2 seater to own and drive

2008 Mazda MX-5 Miata Sport 2dr Convertible w/Power Hard Top (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

2.0L engine is flawless and gives excellent mileage. Retractable hardtop up and down in 12 seconds, and requires no additional maintenance like the soft top. Paddle shifters in the manual mode makes the auto transmission drive closely to the stick shift. Easy maintenance very economical.

We purchased the our Hunter Green PRHT new in March 2009 and we could not be happier. The exterior design is exciting, the interior is clean but not overwhelming and the driving characteristics are just plain fun. Handling is precise and she can turn on a dime and acceleration for a vehicle this size is more than adequate.
