Let others know theres no transmis. fl dipstick

I'm still orginal 2006 owner.Great little mousee Everyone loves the orginal color.Color name kept private. Lots of wanna buyers.I don't want to let it go because of issue one problem.. this start of yr.noticed fluid leak from transmission its rear main seal,instead of replacing this part, it's highly possible gonna replace whole rebuilt transmission.Thinking of not replace rmseal because engine and transmission may have to come down and would have to pay twice, We don't think will owe another mazda reason no transmission dip stick and can't check your fluid like we have oil dipstick.You would have to go in pay for fluid fill up n pay for gasket plus labor

Fun and Reliable

I purchased this car for my 16 year old. It is the perfect first car for a kid. Who wouldn't love a convertible :) Not only does she have convertible, but she also learned to drive a manual transmission. This car is timeless and fun!

Fast Fun and Stylin

Love this car!!! I can't even imagine a better ride to drive. Super tight turn radius, super powerful, solid performance, minimal maintenance and gorgeous to cruise around in.

Fun Car

I have really enjoyed the MX 5 miata. I have the 6 speed manual and it is a lot of fun to drive. It is a reasonably priced sports car that makes driving more of an experience than just getting from one place to another. The maintenance is easy and parts are fairly inexpensive, especially when compared with other sports cars on the market.
