Outstanding sports car. $ for $ best value

Young or old this is the car that is so much fun to drive with retractable hard top up but more fun down. 2013 last of its stylish generation that is great looking, especially with hard-top down, Outstanding workmanship. Excellent reliability.

Love, love, love this car

I own a MX5 with a retractable hardtop. It takes only 6 seconds to go from a hardtop to convertible and I really don't worry about the temperature. It isn't going to crack like a rag top. I have had Miatas since 2000 and its the most fun and dependable convertible I know.

Best value for the buck out there!

We were going to buy a Corvette for twice the price, but then we eyed the Miata and it just made more sense. Same two seat top down fun, a blast to drive on country roads with the best 6 speed made, better reliability and better gas mileage. What’s not to like?

It's a blast to drive!

After driving typical cars, pickups, and suvs it was a pleasure to drive a responsive, great handling roadster. With the top down on a beautiful day it was fun, like driving a go cart in my youth. Being so close to the ground you feel like you are going fast even though it is just the speed limit.

Upgraded to newer design

Went from 92 to 2013 Miata. Car feels stronger more solid takes the same turns faster and more power available. Miss the classic but wow.

I love my Miata GT hardtop!

The best thing about my Miata is so much fun to drive. As soon as I start the Miata, itself takes over and I am colpletely relaxed. It is an adventure every time when I drive Miata and I feel like I can drive forever! The only thing I have to mension is this car is so petite and other car cannot see me. Three times I was hit by a van or suv while waiting for a green light or stopped in airport drop area or parked in driveway. They just didn?t see my Miata. I think Miata should put some special camera to hunk to alert other drivers to notice of a petite car. Now I need to take in for repair for damaged by a van which I had parked in his driveway for a book club party, I am thinking, what is happening to meeeeeee.

Ridiculously fun to drive!

We've owned this car for just a few weeks but it's a total blast to drive. It does require premium gas. The only reason I didn't give it 5/5 for comfort is it's a little short on leg room; the seats are super comfortable though.

Porsche Boxster with Reliability of a Civic

Want a Porsche Boxster without the German repair bills? Want a Honda S2000 but don't want 16 year old kids in their parents' Mustang trying to race you at every stop light? Look no further. The car is RWD, has a perfect 50/50 weight distribution, has a transmission built by the gods and styling to match. It gets 30+mpg, turns heads, and is fun at literally any speed. Most sports cars down come alive until at least 60+mph. The Miata is a blast at 25mph and only gets better. It is the best second car you can own, but is just as good for a daily driver.
