2008 Mazda MX-5 Miata consumer reviews

The 2008 Miata GT PRHT 6 speed automatic with paddle shift is the best compromise roadster ever built. It completely satisfies both the his & her requirements. This is our 3rd & best Miata. We have owned all 3 generations.

Not a long haul vehicle. Had to stop every 100 miles because of leg and back discomfort. Seat could be more ergonomical

We have this car and it is fun, stylish, exhilerating to drive. Would not change a thing. It has power where needed and the handling is the best. Have improved on the looks by adding some exterior chrome and interior woodgrain. LOVE THE CAR!!!!!

I recently purchased an '08 Marble White Grand Touring Cloth Top, and I must say.... this car has exceeded every expectation! Mazda definitely knows how to make great sports cars. Don't let the 166 horsepower figure fool you.... Mazda has put a lot of effort in reducing weight when possible. This auto, below 2500 lbs. , moves very well. I am 6 feet tall and have no trouble getting comfortable in this car. I thought about getting the automatic, but finally decided on the six speed. ( I am so glad I got the manual transmission) After only 8 weeks of ownership, I find when I change gears, it can be done with an almost imperceptible flick of the wrist. The manual transmission fits this car's sporting nature, and IS a joy to use. I have owned two convertibles in the past, and never really thought that much of top down driving. In the MX-5 you find yourself yearning to put the top down. When you figure in the Lotus-like handling, Bose audio, and legendary dependability, even the most mundane trips can be very exciting. What more can you ask of a vehicle ? Do yourself a favor, buy one ! I feel it is obvious that I made the right choice every time I start my MX up. I would highly recommend the optional 'key that stays in your pocket' (great idea) Everyone should consider this vehicle !!!
