1997 Mazda MX-5 Miata Reviews
| “'97 Miata” Reviewing:
1997 Used Mazda MX-5 Miata 2 Dr STD Convertible
My 1997 Miata was a dream. It handled well, had plenty of pickup for it's class, and was a thoroughly designed car. My only sour experience (besides eventually driving it off the side of a mountain) was the plastic rear window. My hand went straight through it one winter while brushing the snow off! Otherwise the car was a dream to own.
Pros —
gas mileage, great feel, practical design (for class), inexpensive
Cons —
addictive :-)

Pros —
Fun to drive, especially if you get the back end out round a bend (rear wheel drive) though can be a little scary if you're not careful!!
Cons —
Limited space (doesn't fit the golf clubs)

The Mazda MX-5, Miata or Roadster, depending on your country, is a driver's car. if you want a good daily driver that is a blast to drive, this car is for you. If you want more power than the 1.8L I4 there are several swap engines available. from a 2.0L I4 to american V8.

good gasmileage, stops on a dime, low wind noise when top down, smooth ride, tight handling

Cargo space for long trips

I actually had a candy-apple red Miata (not shown). It was my first car after grad school (my Beemer was on its last legs.) Lasted for a few years and then traded in for a brand new Miata.
Pros —
Fun to drive and zip around the city. Very sexy and cute.
Cons —
Sucked in the wintertime.

1997 Used Mazda MX-5 Miata 2 Dr STD Convertible
Althought the Miata has under 150hp that doesn't mean it can't be fun! The Miata has a nicely tuned suspension that allows you full control of the car. (The one I drove had a Racingbeat sway bar). Its exhilirating to run the little roadster through its five speed gear box and feeling the breeze of the cruise.
Pros —
Extremely fun to drive.
Cons —
Needs a little more omph.

1997 Used Mazda MX-5 Miata 2 Dr STD Convertible
Great car in either stock form or modified. This is my second Miata. I went from a 1.6L (1991) to a 1.8L (1997) which is supercharged and I dont' know how I lived without the extra power even though the 1.6L is plenty enough to cause some trouble. Good for running around town or an all day excursion though your favorite mountain roads.
Pros —
Fun, Reliable, Easily personalized.
Cons —
Too easily personalized, standard suspension is pretty much ready for replacement at 30k miles.
