2011 retractable hard top touring our fourth Miata to own gives us affordable driving enjoyment. Well designed and quality assembled Miata’s prove there will always be a market for small rear wheel drive manual shift sport cars. We like our Miata!

What a fun car!

This car is so much fun! Our favorite thing to so is joy ride through the mountains! We get compliments everywhere we go, and people watch us go by! I don't like it for long trips and I don't like it on the highway because the wind will whip you apart! Trunk is pretty spacious for the size!

There's nothing like this convertible!!!

This car has been fantastic! We love the Miata so much that we have owned 3 through the years. It is affordable, dependable, sporty and so much fun. The automatic hard top is great if you get caught in the rain.

Love this fun, zippy car!!!

This car is a blast to own! I've had it for almost 5 years. Fast off the gas, great gas mileage, love having a hard top, etc. My only complaint and the reason I'm selling is the bucket seats. My hip can't take them anymore.

A pretty good car but has Mech problems

For a low price convertible this car is a great deal. However, be prepared to fix the hard top motor multiple times at around $700 a pop. One time they fixed it it leaked and never didnt leak after. Struts were crazy expensive around $800 . Also dip stick was plastic (who engineered that??) and broke off in the engine. Ride is good and top is fantastic when it works . Looks great as well. So over all pretty good but expect some problems here and there.

A Pocket Rocket on Rails

If you want an exhilarating ride, reliability, a car you can feel free and in control of at the same time... this must be on your radar. Equipped with the retractable hardtop, heated seats and Bluetooth, this car has all you need to go topless most of the year.

The sports car, and affordable

What a deal a Miata is as a sports car! For the money, rare is a car such a great sports toy. Yes you might be lucky to be able to use it as a daily, depending on your weather, but don't forget - there's a hard top too! Tons of fun, tight and simple. Maintenance is affordable too!
