Fun Car, but too many problems

Soft top replaced twice. Transmission replaced twice due to gears breaking (yes - they break). Both are known problems with TSB's, and the transmission failure will leave you stranded. But, the biggest is that the master brake cylinder failed in traffic. I could have been killed as the car wouldn't stop at a traffic light. The car is fun when it works, but significant problems will strand you (transmission failure) or kill you (master brake cylinder failure). All of the above occurred before 5000 miles and the car was not driven hard. Sold the car at a huge lost, but am glad to be alive.

Mazada got me again!

If you are interested in a fun car to drive that gives you confidence and pure joy, this is the one for you. I found what great cars Mazda was making when we purchased a 2016 CX-5 GT. My 2009 Corvette was just not getting driven as much as it should. Kind of hard to open up 430 HP around Denver except 0-70. But this car gets used more and is more fun to drive. Great feeling of control. The GT version does not have differential rear end but I'm not cranking or sliding the corners either. I find the exterior looks great and the interior feels like high end materials. Don't miss my Vette at all, though it was pretty repair free car.

It's a great car. Go test drive it. Here is something surprising, when using a phone through the Bluetooth system and the top is down, I can hear the other person perfectly and they can hear me with no background noise problems! Updating my review. My wife decided that she wanted the car and now I drive a 2017 Ford Escape. I understand that she really likes the MX-5. I like to picture her in my mind as Cruella de Vil driving around with the top down and laughing maniacally. It helps me to survive. But really, its all part of a larger plan :-)

Miata Is Always The Answer

My 2019 MX-5 is my third Miata. Obviously, I love the Miata, and the the 2019 MX-5 is the best of them all. Get a Club version with a manual transmission, and you will have the time of your life. They are SO much fun.

This has got to be the most UNDER-priced sports car every built! For what you pay for a LOADED , top of the line Miata- it’s half what other true sports car sell for! I smile every time I drive it, I invent a reason to drive. I feel like a kid again. Excitement👍💥 UPDATE: (a year later): NO change, still love this exciting sports car! Never been in the shop, except oil changes. Would buy it again! (😎(10,000 mi)now)
