review on Mx 5 2008

although I love this car I have in the short 7 1/2 years since buying it new, I have had to have an alternator, new battery and a recent problem with the battery hook up. This is very disappointing to me as my previous vehicle which as a small Nissan pu ran for 15 years with absolutely no problems, even the battery lasted as long as I had the truck.

The funnest vehicle I have ever owned

Mine is the PRHT (Power Retractable Hardtop). It is a looker, and rarely fails to generate comments at gas stations or stoplights. The car is a ball to drive when the pavement gets twisty, too. The manual transmission allows me to always grab the right gear for the occasion. The driver seat is very comfortable, even on 10-hour drives. Visibility out is extremely good, especially with the top down. Heater and air conditioning work great when the weather isn't good for top-down driving. My Miata is by far the funnest vehicle I have ever owned. It is a great vehicle for solo trips...my only complaint is there isn't quite enough space for two people and gear.

I LOVE MY MIATA

I like everything about it. Especially this time of year when I can put the top down! I feel like I am on vacation!

Mazda Miata

I have owned 5 Mazda Miatas. You will never ever find a car of this quality that is so much fun to drive. People will say they just don't make them like they used to. Take one for a spin and regardless of age, Miatas will become a love at first sight experience.

My MX-5

I grew up with muscle cars. I've had three 1966 GTOs, seven Firebirds and Trans Ams, and a few others. I prefer my MX-5 over all of them. My other car is a Impala LTZ and that is a pain in the ass sometimes. I do not believe I would buy another American car again.. It is a fun car to drive and very enjoyable.

Best vehicle I've had the pleasure of owning !

I've had the advantage of owning 1 Ford, 3 BMWs, 1 Audi, 2 Hondas, 3 VWs, 1 Jeep P.U., 2 Dodge Ram P.Us, and my MX5. By far, it's been the most reliable, exhilarating to drive, and least expensive to maintain that any of my previous cars. I would more than likely look at Mazda first when I consider my next vehicle purchase.

Retractible Hardtop

I have owned this car for six years. I have never had a problem in those six years. Have always used Mobil ! synthetic. It is fun to drive and has power that in unbelievable. I am getting up in age and although the 6 speed is fun, I now wish it was an automatic. I have thought about selling or trading in, but there is not a car out there that has the performance, style, and just plain fun this Miata has. I thought about a Mini but have read in so many places they are fun to drive, but they are very unreliable. So I will stick with my Miata. BTW, I have owned five in my life time. If you are not 6' tall and want a reliable car that is fun to drive take one out for a spin. You won't regret it. This much i can promise.

Best sports car for the price.

You will not find a car that's this fun to drive for the price. Looks good, six speed manual makes this car respond to your every wish, drives great, loves the curves. Takes this car on a fun drive thru the back roads to really enjoy it.

Mazda Miata.

Mazda Miata. What a great little car. I have a silver one that matches the beginning of my silver hair at 58 years old. I love this car and I always have and I always well. 2023 will be it’s silver anniversary!
