I can get golf clubs in the trunk, drive roof up or down with prht, it's fast enough for me, handles like a dream and so is just the perfect 2 seater sports car

This is a great car I've owned a 91 Mazda miata before. I like this one better it's a second car for me. I also have another vehicle I alternate with. I live near the beach so definitely going to work in the morning it's a pleasure with the top down as the Sun's coming up. doesn't get me better. I almost bought a 2017 Mustang convertible great car looks very nice but it just doesn't have that British sports car feel.

Love My 2010 Mazda MX-5 Sport

This is my second Miata. I love it even more than my 1990 Miata, which I ordered before they were even available on the car lots. My 2010 Miata MX-5 is very stylish and has a chrome gas cap, and very sporty wheels, which adds appeal. It has been pretty maintenance free. I bought it with 80,000 miles on it. It came from Florida and was rust free. The only repair I have made in the 6 yrs I’ve owned it was an emission control valve, and a replacement part for the A/C. I love how it handles and it’s fun to drive. I love the reliability of it. I only drive it 2,000 miles a year and it always starts even in the coldest Winters. The only maintenance other than A/C and Emission Control has been Oil/Filter Changes, new Tires, and Battery. It has 92,000 miles on it and I haven’t even needed a tuneup in the 6 years I’ve owned it.
