The Miata: It loves to drive as much as I do

Date of Review:  Apr 4, 2000
Review: My father, a middle-aged former autocross driver, bought the car of his dreams one year ago. He's always been in love with tiny front-engine rear-drive roadster sports cars, and the Mazda MX-5 Miata is the epitome of the breed. He bought a black...

No Regrets

Date of Review:  Jan 14, 2000
Review: From the moment I drove my 1996 M-Edition off of the lot, I have had no regrets about purchasing this vehicle. It's been a complete pleasure to write the car payment out each and every month because driving the vehicle continues to be so much fun...

The Adoration

Date of Review:  Oct 26, 2000
Review: It looks like we Miata owners adore our cars....so much that even though 20 other people told you how wonderful their cars are - here I am doing it too. I LOVE my car. My friend Dar call it a "Jelly bean" - she has a Mercedes SLK...but I'll bet I...

1996 Montego Blue Mazda Miata Base Model

Date of Review:  Jun 9, 2007
The Bottom Line: This is a great third car for a couple to enjoy as an escape from life as well as a highly modifiable car with strong internet and aftermarket support.
Review: Reason for Purchase and Criteria
I purchased my Mazda Miata in 2003 after much research for an affordable fun to drive sports car. My criteria are a fun stylish car with inexpensive aftermarket options for a two seat convertible as well as a...

1991 Miata, more "bang" for the buck

Date of Review:  Jun 9, 2001
The Bottom Line: Very fun car to drive if you can only spare a couple thou. What it lacks in power, it makes up in FUN! Highly recommended.
Review: This opinion is for a 1991 miata, so keep that in mind.

I moved to Los Angeles from the mid-west a few years ago and as a guy with his priorities strongly intact,what's the first thing one would do when moving to Southern California? You...

The greatest thing since sliced bread

Date of Review:  Dec 16, 1999
Review: When I first saw a spy photo of the Mazda Miata in one of the car enthusiast publications back in 1989, I said to myself that's the car I've always dreamed about purchasing but nobody had up until then ever built anything that even resembled this...

Mass fun, great reliability, for just a few bucks

Date of Review:  Jan 3, 2005
The Bottom Line: This car is the most fun you can have for a small amount of money!!!
Review: I'm on my second Miata and I can tell you that of the the 30 cars I've owned, from Toyotas to Cadillacs, this one wins hands down for pure driving pleasure. The '96 I currently own is an M edition so I get mush more comfortable leather seats an...

Classic Red - 10 yrs young

Date of Review:  Jun 19, 2000
Review: I waited 6 yrs. to buy a little sorry model with a hardtop. Parked outside and under a pine tree it needed lots of TLC but over the past 4 yrs. it has only improved in looks and performance.

Live life TOPLESS!

Date of Review:  Nov 25, 2000

Ahh, the joy of driving.

Affordable Excitement

Date of Review:  Dec 18, 1999
Review: I had a 1991 Miata for over a year and fell in love with it. Honestly it is the closest thing to driving a go-cart, and fairly close to the feel of riding a motorcycle. The Miata is the closest car to having a perfect 50/50 ratio in weight, and...
