Dan Deery Toyota review
Tee Kylandezes was amazing to work with!
Tee Kylandezes was amazing to work with! Very laid back guy, I could tell right away he was a genuine person who wouldn't waste our time with the usual run around. He listened to our needs and didn't try to talk us in to something impractical for us. Would definitely do business with him again!

My experience was excellent from the test drive.
My experience was excellent from the test drive. to the financing/purchase, right to the point of delivery. Pricing was reasonable too, and I felt like a valued customer every step of the way.
1997 Mazda MX-5 Miata Convertible review
Simply Outstanding
My son and I own this car. Easy to work on, inexpensive parts and pure driving pleasure. This is our second Miata. The N/A, first generation Miata's have a special place with enthusiasts. I'd be weary of heavily modified versions from backyard mechanics.

Fun and Reliable Car
Fun car to drive, it's small but I'm 6ft tall and fit in it just fine. Handles like it's on rails, great little parking lot racer or high gas mileage daily driver.

1997 Mazda MX-5 Miata Base review
One of my all time favorite cars
A lot of people hate on these but that's just because they've never driven one themselves. It handles unlike any car I've ever driven and is so easy to work on. There's also a plethora of aftermarket parts. One of my favorite cars by far.
