"Even with 39,000 miles the MX-5 I purchased drove like a new car, rattle free and tight in all aspects. I am 6' 2" and have plenty of leg room on the driver's side however the passenger side room is not long enough. The top can be taken down and put up from the driver's seat. It handles as a sports car should with excellent road feel, easy shifting and great exhaust note. I like the simplicity of the 4-cylinder in-line engine as well as the rear wheel drive. Seats are very comfortable and even with air conditioning the vehicle is nimble and quick......so far it feels like a winner."

"Had an 99' Miata and upgraded to an 09 with automatic roof, love, love , love the car. The guy who bought my 99 stopped by the other day, 1 month after purchase to tell me how much he loves it. If you buy a Miata you will be hooked. Everyone tells me how beautiful the car is. It does make a little rattle noise with the hard top up, but it's not annoying."

"I've wanted a Miata for years. Now that the kids are gone and I'm not so sure I want to keep riding my motorcycle, it was the perfect vehicle for me. It's a sensible car for both fun and transportation. It is quick, nimble, agile and responsive. It's well-made and solid-feeling. It's a sports car, so its suspension is stiff. And you won't want to roll up to the supermarket and try to stuff a week's worth of groceries in the trunk. But nothing beats it for a jaunty ride in the country--both biway lanes and highway--during non-snow weather. Love it."

"Remember, "Is it a Breath Mint, or is it a Candy Mint?" Well with the The Retractable Hard Top Convertible, the question is, "Is it a Convertible, or is it a Hard Top?"

"I am a long time auto enthusiast and have owned over 50 cars to date. Last fall we bought an MX5 Retractable Hardtop 6 speed and enjoyed every moment of driving before putting it away the winter. The car is solidly built and an exceptional handler with a great motor and the 6 speed is one of the best made. The top is water tight with no squeeks or rattles, just like the rest of the car. I looked at everything else on the market in this price range and nothing gave the same amount of smiles per gallon as this car. Only regret is that we could not find one with the leather package. We love the car and plan to keep it for many years to come, and with such a stong aftermarket out there, I expect I will have fun upgrading the car over the next few years !"

"To those that believe that cars are mere conveyances, this car won't make much sense. To those that believe that some vehicles are capable of rising above being nothing more than an appliance, this car is worth serious consideration. The car was designed from the outset to put a smile on the driver's face, whether they are flinging it down a twisty road or running errands. The best way I can explain it to non-car people is this: Just like a good song on the radio, this car is capable of elevating your mood. For that, it is to be cherished."

"Started looking used but ended up new since price is not much different at year end. Great 2nd car for running errands and playing golf. Got car with few options under theory that what I don't have can't break and plan to keep for 10yrs. No need for hardtop since the softtop is so well engineered and sorted out. Simple car at it's best!"

"The 2009 MX-5 is a great looking car even if all the owners of past models say the front grill is silly. I think it just represents the silly grin you'll end up having after driving this car. It handles really well (as expected of a sports car) and is somewhat quick after 3-4K rpm. Its the most fun car I've ever driven and I am always sad when the trip comes to an end. The cons are that it is slow to go from a stop, with some reviews reporting 0-60 at 8 seconds or more, and no spare tire. If you're looking for a small car or roadster with Japanese quality and low maintenance, look no further. Since Honda is no longer making the more expensive S2000, Mazda is the only game in town with a low-cost sports roadster. A BMW Z4 or Porsche Boxster will cost you $20K+ more, a 370z roadster will cost $10-15k more. With those you get more performance for the price, but not necessarily more fun."
