Used Mazda MX-5 Miata for Sale

This was a fantastic car as I owned it before I had my children. It only has room for two people but was surprisingly spacious and also had a large trunk. It was very fun to drive and was a convertible with a power top. The car was FAST with a manual transmission.

The car is a pleasure to drive; it may not have the horsepower to keep up with other vehicles, but the handling and driving experience makes up for that. It is exciting to drive on the streets and really excels in the turns.

The Miata was very cute, mine was a dark green, which I found a bit more luxurious looking than the more common red or black. It was very comfortable for me, but would probably be a bit cramped for a tall man or a very heavy person. It had enough trunk room for my purposes, but a road trip for two would mean traveling light. There were no strange noises and visibility was good. I think it was in the shop for mechanical reasons once: for a new water pump. Not bad for a car that was four years old when I got it! Costs were reasonable, but do keep in mind that the plastic window in the back can get cloudy with age. I was able to find someone to fix it without replacing the whole soft top. I do with that it had come with a hard top for winter, both to save the ragtop, and for warmth. The heater works just fine, but I took this car to Alaska with me, and a hard top would have been better. You also need to get very good snow tires for winter driving, typical of any sports car. The best thing about the Miata is that it is just plain fun to drive. It's quick and responsive, but not so powerful that you feel overwhelmed. Handling is wonderful, and braking firm and smooth. I felt very safe driving it, small as it was. I would definitely recommend the Miata as a car that is both fun and reliable. It reminded me of my first car, an MG Midget, in its spirit and style, but without the constant repairs.
