First of all, its a good-looking sports car. Its design is simple, and it was well engineered. It is reliable, handles well, and the 50/50 weight distribution allows the driver to really feel in control of his car. I enjoy the feeling I get when I drive. It makes every trip an adventure. It does not handle well in the rain, but other than that, it is the best sports car a person can buy. It is not fast, but it makes up for that with its superb handling. There is no match for the Mazda MX-5 Miata.

Very fun car
The Mazda Miata is a simple car, both in aesthetics and in options. Although its a bit underpowered in the engine department, it's light weight balances the performance, making for a car that accelerates easy. In terms of vehicle dynamics, It is a very balanced car, and it feels like a go-kart.

A classic roadster experience.
The 1996 Mazda Miata MX-5 is one of the most popular sports cars and for good reason Once someone has been behind the wheel of a Miata, they will understand what makes it so special. The Miata will not win drag races, nor will it blow your mind with its top speed but take the Miata up through the winding roads of the mountains and the Miata shows what makes it so special. The car has excellent handling, and accelerating through the apex of a turn has never felt so satisfying. The experience can be improved upon by lowering the convertible top, or if it is too hot, the A/C is cold enough to escape even the hottest Arizona summer days. The Miata is furnished inside with a simple, yet elegant interior, including a wooden steering wheel and matching shifter knob. In my particular car however it has a custom fit crown royal shift boot.
