2005 Mazda MazdaSpeed Miata MX-5 consumer reviews

I love the way the hard top convertible tucks away so quickly and discreetly. The safety features of the car are awesome. The only thing I would consider is making it a little more comfortable for people that have long legs so they can sit in it comfortably without putting their knees to their ears. It was a 2019 so you need to update the year selection in the dropdown screen of this page.

First mistake was buying it from a small lot. If you're going to buy a used Miata, make sure you do so from a "private seller"! My 1997 was a dream & sometimes sorry I sold her. But the 2005, just another car.

Great car. Love its performance and pep. Love the size - fits me well. Mazda Miatas are such great performance and handling cars.

Beauty, fun, sporty, and the turbo kicks butt. The added features of the Mazdaspeed trim makes this car stand out among the crowd.

The car is just the right amount of speed and fun with the turbocharged engine. Gearing is slightly low, so first gear passes quick. Handling is precise and on point.

After more than 4 years of ownership, this is by far the best looking MX-5 as well as the best performing. Minor upgrades make this car a blast to drive and get some good power out of the factory turbo with great reliability to boot. Handles like its on rails but that performance comes at the cost of comfort, not that you'll be thinking about it very much. Great car!

I don't know why Mazdaspeed only modified the Mazda MX-5 Miata for two years, but I think they should reconsider and modify the newer models as well. This little bugger is a blast to drive, and the Mazdaspeed styling and performance sets it apart from the standard MX-5's. Grab one if you can find one, especially one in stock condition. You'll love it!

I have a 2005 MX-5 Mazdaspeed GT in Mica Lava Orange. One of only 1423 made in 2005. This car has amazing handling, torque sensing limited slip dif, double-wishbones, double overhead cam, and is really the perfect roadster. I have driven many roadsters and (except for the Ferrari) this is the best handling roadster I have ever experience...even compared to the Lotus - but much more comfortable as a daily driver. You feel like you are part of the road. it is plenty quick - but for another 1 to 3K you can increase the Horsepower significantly - fast or faster than a Porsche Cayman S or Boxter S. This car just looks different than any other Miata with sleek aggressive styling and a powerful Bose Stereo System. More than 1000 modifications were made by the racing division at Mazda and it shows. Great...no frills roadster - the way they were meant to be.

great handling, great torque and speed. only dislike is lack of space in cockpit and trunk. this is a must drive vehicle. if your any kind of car lover you will love this car.

Simply one insanely fun car. In stock form its a blast to drive, start modding this thing and its true potential becomes unlocked. By far the most fun of the 13 cars (so far) I have ever owned, she's a keeper!
