"Quite Simply The Very Best"
I have owned Z cars, RX-7, even an Opel GT in the early 70's.... this MX-5 outshines them all. Only the Opel GT came close to the 'smile factor' that this car exudes. I thought about the S2000, BMW Z4, and even the RX-8.... after trying them all, I found myself coming back to the MX-5 every time. Within a few short days of ownership, it was obvious that I made the right choice. I can't recall ever having an auto that I enjoy more and more every day !!! I have absolutely NO regrets, I only wish I had purchased one sooner. The world would truly be a better place if everyone had the chance drive one of these on a regular basis. If you drive this car with the top down on a sunny day.... all is right with the world.... HOW GREAT IS THAT !!!!!! My old '06 C-Class Mercedes could not compare with this auto. Buy one ! Treat yourself to a great experience. My car... '08 MX-5 Grand Touring Cloth Top (the key that stays in your pocket is a great option to consider)

Is this a Porsche? For $25,000?
An exhilarating driving experience, along with a good ride, and beautiful looks round out this great little car. The most impressive aspect, is the superb value. Sure, I could have leased a Porsche or a Benz, but I would look like everyone else in my neighbourhood. So, on my recent trip to England I saw one of these and immediately fell in love. If you are having a mid life crisis like me, or are just a couple, I suggest taking a look at this impressive work of art.

Great fun car.
Best sport car for money that I have found. Sure, you'll lose if you drag race a Porsche or BMW, but for all around fun it can't be beat, and in my opinion the styling beats the Porsche and BMW. It handles great. I put an aftermarket exhaust system on mine, from Mazda Speed,and it now sounds and looks like a true sports roadster of the 1950 & 60's era.

red rocket

Close to a Perfect "10" for under $30,000
This is the only coupe I know of that put a smile on a driver's faces while sitting still or pushing 80 MPH. The manual shift is crisp and precise, along with a body frame that seems glued to the road. The car might be a little rev happy, but hey what do you expect from a 6 speed shift. Someone 6' to 6'2" can easily fit under the closed roof and boy what a retractable thing of beauty the roof is. Just have your friends sit back with a beer and watch them tell you again and again to take the top up and bring it back down in 12 seconds. Mazda knows what they are doing when they make sports cars and the 2007 MX-5 RHTR is going to sell like hot cakes in the coming months.
