2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata consumer reviews

This car met all of my wants, it is the Grand Touring model with a manual transmission. I upgraded from a 2007 to a brand new 2016 and it just feels so much more luxurious with the same fun elements that my previous two Miata's had.

I?ve wanted a convertible all my life. This car is a real head turner, great fun to drive, and has all the interior amenities you could want. Heated leather seats, great sound system, easy roof to put up and down with one hand.

I had 2008 Miata for 6 years but I loved the styling & performance changes with the 2016 model. I never had to change a light bulb on the old Miata. Just normal maintenance, oil and filter changes, normal wear items such as brakes and tires, etc. Most reliable and dependable vehicle I have ever owned in over 50 years of driving! I fully expect the same with my 2016 model. I purchased the 2016 Club model with 7,400 miles and I am deeply rewarded and pleased with the 2016 Club model with the 6 speed automatic transmission!! The car is black with black fabric red pinstriped interior. It's my everyday car like my other one was. No need to baby these cars. They are built Mazda tough to withstand the elements. The only negative comment is the change pf window controls from the center console to the doors. I still haven't quite adjust to the change but over time I will. This is simply a wonderfully designed performance car.

Great fun. Excellent driving car. Teaches you so much about balance and driver input. Not very practical for extreme weather hot or cold.

If you are looking for a two seat roadster under $70K, look no further. This is SUPER fun to drive. I would never recommend as an "only" car, but if you can live with its minimal interior storage space and small trunk, it could be the "one" for you. Great on steep, winding mountain roads.

I'm a lover of the first generation miata. The others haven't done it for me but this, this is the one!!!!

Good to look at, fun to drive! Even though the storage is a joke - I'm not joking - but I didn't buy it to transport cargo. So, sometimes I do wish the storage is larger, but I'm actually very okay with it. In the end, you just can't and won't have it all. lol

To preface, I currently use this vehicle as my only vehicle. To sell this car as an only car, you have to go in understanding that this is not an overly practical vehicle. There are 2 seats, there is minimal cabin storage (no glove box, and a decently sized storage between the seats), and the trunk is big enough for weekend luggage for 2. That said, that is the only downfall of this vehicle, and as a weekend toy, this is a no brainer purchase. This car has a fun factor that can only be matched by cars that are double or triple the price point. On a back road with the top down, the driving experience is sublime and has to be driven to be believed. It is also the easiest car I've ever driven with a manual transmission. I can wholly recommend buying this car without knowing how to drive stick (maybe have a friend drive it home), and learning on it. The clutch is incredibly forgiving and is a breeze even in stop and go traffic. Though the automatic is fine if you absolutely must get it.

Runs like a scalded dog. Im 6ft, 200, felt a little snug at first, but with in a week, i am use to it.

LOVE MY MIATA MX-5. The only reason I give it a four star is due to leg room. I am rather short at 5'10" and in the drivers seat I fit perfectly, even have to adjust the seat forward. HOWEVER, the passenger seat my legs are a little cramped. My boyfriend is 6'2" and he is very uncomfortable in the front seat. I did not do my homework, though, before I bought the vehicle and I still wouldn't have changed my mind. I would like to give others the heads up that their tall friends won't fit in this itty bitty beautiful machine that I'm pretty sure was designed just for me driving it.
