  • This is the most reliable car I have ever owned

    This has been a great car for daily driver or pleasure. It has served me very well requiring nothing more than maintenance over the 12 years I have owned it.

  • Outragous fun for the money

    The 2004 Mazdaspeed takes the perfect simple sportscar and adds the extra horsepower it needs to go to the next level with a factory turbo,

  • How Miatas Should Be From Factory

    I like the added power that the turbo gives. Being that it's factory tuned, it is very reliable. Although the car is light and agile, the fuel economy isn't as good as naturally-aspirated Miatas.

  • MazdaSpeed MX5 Miata, WOW Fun to Drive

    This is a great little sport convertible that is a blast to drive. And a very reliable car with no problems. IF your looking for the little RED sports car this is the one. However you will need to learn to how to drive a manual, which is easy in this car. But once you learned you will have more fun shifting through the gears. Don't worry, it's not that hard to learn a manual.

  • About what you would expect from a miata

    I think this is a great track and fun car. As for daily driving in a city I would rather have a simple cheap automatic car and not worry about anything.

  • Absolute Fun on Four Wheels. Handles and Goes!

    A Miata the way it should be. Tight, handling suspension with enough power. Great collector car now, since most have either been wrecked, modified or thrashed.
