Used 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata Consumer Reviews
Hard to beat
This is my 5th Miata having owned only Miatas since they came out in 1990. And each one is better than the one before. Design wise this is probably the most beautiful Miata. Mazda has always had some outstanding colors for the Miata and the soul red (which I have) is probably as pretty a red as I have ever seen on a sports car. If you want a good idea how great this car is look at the August, 2016 edition of Road & Track. The Miata is featured on the cover with the Ferrari 488 Spyder which is a 300 thousand dollar car. In the article it talks about the two cars almost as being equals in terms of subjective satisfaction. And this is just a 30 thousand dollar car! I also should mention that Miatas have exceptional reliability with almost nothing going wrong mechanically. On the 2016 model I really appreciate the upgraded entertainment center with Bluetooth and HD radio as well as a navigation system. I also find the blind spot monitoring to be an excellent safety feature while I find the automatic windshield wipers to be really cool and I've always really liked Bose car stereos. Also I should add that I received something from Mazda saying that the 2016 Miata received both the car of the year and the car design of the year from the international automobile journalists, and no car had ever won both of these in the same year. I can't imagine someone buying a Miata and regretting it.

The Best Trouble-free Fun to Drive Sports Car
Took weight out of previous model (NC); NVH increased, but quicker. Great styling. Fun, exciting to drive near limits. Sticks like glue with quick responsive steering; and shifts like a Porsche Boxster, World-class engine, transmission, suspension, brakes (Brembo). A joy to drive; cheap to own. Reliable: Former 2007 MX5 GT went 85,000+ miles with only oil changes and filters; new set of Continental high perf. tires; and brakes. (NOTE: limited driving due harsh winter in WA and relocation to AZ.)

Retirement fun car
It doesn't have to be a car for the younger driver. I'm 73 and just love driving this roadster. I use it on back roads and highways and have no complaints. To be honest, I give it an OK on comfort. It is a roadster which is built for fun and excitement, not comfort.
