This is my 7th Miata but first ND. Why did I wait so long? It’s way better than I imagined….refined but playful all at the same time. It has a manual transmission, an absolute must to appreciate its engineering and design. Drive it slow and relaxed or drive it aggressively. It does both equally well.
Lots of Fun

Nice drive, very light steering could be tighter

I have the 2021 MX-5 Grand Touring RF. Let me start off by saying I am coming into this 2 seater from having a BMW Z3 forever. Let me talk about the cons first - 1) my battery died for no apparent reason 4 days into ownership (not a good feeling but, at least, I was stranded at a friend's house who could jump me. 2) It is the Grand Touring model and Mazda has not figured out how to give you a full multi-way power driving seat! For us short girls, the seat needs to have the ability to lift and not just your knees. My 24 year old BMW has that, Mazda needs to catch up. 3) The steering is not as tight as I am accustomed to. I think in time I will install a brace to see if I can't get it a little better. 4) It has a large blind spot behind the passenger seat. 5) The apple carplay is iffy on connection - even when hardwired. Those are my observations that are disappointing. The pros are 1) she is a light feeling, peppy drive. 2) I like the shifting on the sport mode. 3) Braking is good. 4) I like the fact that in my model it is more like a T-top and not a full convertible. 5) and I have the Soul Red which is really beautiful and gets so many compliments.

Well-equipped for "Costco Run"

"Second Most Fun You Can Have with Clothes On." There's an "Aftermarket package" that'll VASTLY improve the day-to-day usability by adding "car-GO" capacity. The Surco trunk rack is really quick and easy; they're often available on craigslist for a hundred bucks or so. The trailer hitch is more work and expense, but FAR more capable. Careful, though. "Giving Friends a Lift to the Airport" is hard to decline if they know you've got a trailer... 1. Surco removable trunk rack (See https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=surco%20miata%20rack ) 2. eTrailer "Class I" hitch (See https://www.etrailer.com/vm/Mazda/MX-5+Miata/hitch ) Plus one or more of the following: 3a. Harbor Freight "Mini Trailer" (See https://duckduckgo.com/?q=!harborfreight+mini+trailer&t=ffab&ia=web ) 3b. Harbor Freight Mini Carrier (See https://duckduckgo.com/?q=!harborfreight+alumminum+carrier&t=ffab&ia=web )

2023 MX-5 Grand Touring 6sp manual edition is a fantastic roadster. This is my 2nd MX-5 GT (previous 2012 GT Automatic) but this one has much needed safety features such as lane departure warning system, Blind Spot monitoring, and rear cross traffic alert. The 7" touch screen display works well either by touch or using the dial control on the center console. All cockpit controls are within easy arms reach. I find putting the soft-top down and/or back up is quick and efficient and one of the nicer features of this model. You can sit in the vehicle and put the roof down and conversely, put the roof back up in less than six seconds, each way. You can actually do this on the fly, but probably not recommended when driving. In my 2012 hard-top, the one touch push button took almost 11 seconds to open or close and you had to be stopped to perform these functions. Also, with the soft-top there's two small cubbies behind each seat for additional storage, something my 2012 hard-top did not have. The 6sp manual transmission shifts smoothly. So glad I went with the manual trans. I would give a 5-star rating however I only have about 500 miles thus far so I'm still getting warmed up to this model. I probably will upgrade the rating to 5-stars however since the car is so new I'll need to put some more miles on it first. Fuel efficiency at the moment is 35mpg with combo city/Hwy.

I had a soul red Mazda cx-50,and it was ok,but i have always wanted a miata.I saw this grey 2023 for sale, 17 miles on it,and i prayed it was an automatic,only because of a lot of stop & go driving here in virginia.I must say,i absolutely love the looks of this car. Pros- Steering/handling Ride Performance Features Gas mileage Cons- At 6 ft tall,kind of tight,but it works Bose system cuts in & out on left speakers on notifications That's it !! I really enjoy the way it drives.I am 60, single,and this is not a mid-life crisis,as i have always wanted a true sports car,and this is my 6 th convertible,and the most beautiful car i have ever owned

I’ve had many types of car and models over the years. They were just transportation modes. This is the first time when I actually look forward to driving a car. The MX-5 is fun, engaging, quick and reliable.

The Miata GT is a bit small and pricy, but it's the best little sports car out there for the money.
