New to me. Fun to drive.

Neat little car for a little old lady! What a great drive. Top goes up and done in a sec, so leaving in a parking lot is no sweat. I love it!

I'm in Love

This car is a dream to drive. It is a Grand Touring so it has all of the bells and whistles, lots of driver assist technology. Fun to drive and AMAZING gas mileage, above the estimated hwy average MPG. Plus it is bad to the bone to look at.

Always looking for an excuse to drive it.

Superb, beautifully designed vehicle from Hiroshima. Have the 2000 GT 2016 in pearl white, the only one in the wider Port Elizabeth, South Africa, area. Light, fast, and with the top down on a sunny day, it's driving experience at its very best. Fantastic petrol consumption: a recent trip to Kenton returned 4,8 litres per 100 ks down hill and 5,6 there and back, which is 50 miles per British gallon. With a spare tyre it would be the perfect car.

Wow talk about fun car

This car is amazing I love the newer style from 2016 ...and up. The older ones I didn't like the body style or anything. But 2016 wow wow wow. Drivers smooth and with this type of car you deff need a stick, you can't get automatic!! It's a great car to learn stick if you need too. It tells you what gear to go n what gear you are currently in. It's just amazing on gas and everything.. I'm in love

Too much problems

This car has too much problems. Rev drop during high RPM, long throw gear box, deep clutch, HP loss after a year, interior rattling. It's such a sluggish car that can easily get smoked by even Jeep SUV's Not worth the price tag

Really fun car to drive

Most fun and reliable car I've ever owned

This car exceeds all my expectations. I've owned it for two years and keep waiting for the thrill to wear off but it only gets better. This is the most fun car I've every owned. It's reliable, and it has plenty of leg room (I'm 6' tall), the sound system is fantastic and it handles incredible. It gives more smiles per mile than anything I've driven.

Love my car!

I purchased a 2016 Mazda, Miata. This is a little roadster. It performs wonderfully, handles great and I think it is the best looking car on the road. The interior is like a glove. It hugs you in wonderful leather. I love the heated seats.

Very reliable, great gas mileage, fun to drive

This car hugs the road and sits into the corners. Lots of safety features. Best Miata I have ever owned and I have owned 3! This one is a beauty.

My dream car

The most beautiful sports car within $30k. It met all I need. I love it sooooo much. A small car has the big fun, especially on the country road
