2025 Mazda MX-5 Miata Consumer Reviews
Pricing
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 )
Great ride!
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.

MY FIRST ONE
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

Best I ever drove
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.
