2004 Mazda MAZDASPEED MX-5 Miata 2 Dr Turbo Convertible Review
ProsPerformance, fun factor, upgradability. ConsSize, stiff suspension can be tiresome, lack of space and usable cup holders.

Msm Review — Performance – Great, but highly limited from factory. NEEDS aftermarket upgrades to reach full potential. Increases of 30% in crank horsepower and torque from simple full intake and exhaust mods. With an ECU, larger injectors, intake/MBC & exhaust, these cars put down 215-230 whp... From 178hp stock, that's a huge increase. Build Quality – Excellent for it's size and type. Some rattles, but I expected much worse from a car with this kind of suspension setup. Appearance – Excellent, but smallest vehicle on the road meaning you're nearly invisible to some drivers and are a rock chip and door ding magnet. Watch out. Cost of Ownership – Medium. Fun Factor – Outstanding. |

Definitely One Of The Funner Cars Out There, But Be Careful Of The Oil. — Mazda's "Speed" version of the MX-5 definitely gives this car an advantage over the basic Miata. A 1.8L Turbocharged engine powers this little machine that has much more potential than the basic build. Regardless of the miniature size, these cars are also incredibly safe. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

Best Careever! — it's the best vehicle I have ever owned. I live in the Boston, MA area and I drive it all year. Just put some good snow tired on it in the winter and I have never had a problem. Its the "little car that could" :). I intend to drive it until, well, forever! Primary Use: Commuting to work |

Go-kart With A Turbo Punch — IMO there is no better valued sports car on the market. For the money you pay and the performance you get, plus the low maintenance cost, fun to drive factor, insurance rates, quality, no other car comes near as close. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

Not Recommended For "small" Guys — Top down, terrific. Top up, makes me wish I owned a sport sedan. Have owned Miatas for 10 years now. Fantastic handling, braking, steering. Acceleration is just OK. Trunk is decent size for such a small car -- holds small rollaway and a briefcase. Once hauled a Christmas tree home on the roof. Bulletproof in terms of reliability. Biggest downside? Guys with, uh, "confidence" issues write it off as a chick-mobile. No problem, pal. Let's meet in Malibu so I can dust your Mustang on Latigo Canyon Road. |
