Still loving it and stand by my review. I've had to change a battery - very typical maintenance where I live - but other than typical maintenance I have had zero issues. LOVE IT!!! This car is made for fun and the thrill of the ride. It is pure enjoyment and a bit hedonistic, which is why I love it. For others, I would suggest ensuring comfort of getting in / out of vehicle. I am 5'9" and am comfortable in the driver's seat, but I find the passenger's seat to be more confining. Also, do not expect to make any major hauls; even grocery hauls are a bit difficult. But this is not the reason to buy this kind of car. You buy it because you love the feel of openness and you want to feel free. It has excellent steering and acceleration with the ability to take any turn very comfortably. This is the best car I have yet to drive and subsequently purchase.

Drove an M3, 911, GTI, AUDI TT. There is no comparison to a MX-5. The 2011 Prut is the best. It is not as fast. But, on a quarter mile against a 911 ! It just was behind 5 seconds. I mean for the price, it is unbeatable. No questions ask. Cheap to maintain and reliable than most.

This car does not have Miata on it anywhere. It is a MX-5. I owned a 2000 Miata LS and it was a good car. I had modified it a lot. This 2012 has almost the same mods as I put in the 2000. It also has the same problems as the 2000. Clutch is terrible. Gears grind if you are not careful. I bought it used and it had 25000 miles on it. It leaks easy as the rain rails don't work good. It costs over $400 to get them fixed. The finish is one of the worse. It also has an aluminum body which dings very easily. The car drives ok after you get use to the power assist. The 2000 did not have this and I like feeling the road. The power assist is hard to get use to as it oversteers if you are not careful. The Sport is the low end and it is the low end. Nothing is included hardly. Radio is inferior. On the 2000 it was a Bose system. The power is good after 2nd gear if you wind it up to 6000 RPM. Then when you shift it grinds if you are trying to get it up fast. I think Mazda did a lot of damage to a good car. I keep the 2000 for 8 years and over 100000 miles. This one will probably not get that.
