Great milage and handling. Not much straight away speed though but corners VERY well. I average 30 MPG with the 1.8L stock motor. A turbo would be nice but still a pricey upgrade for a daily driver. Maybe sometime in the next couple of years.

Astonishing handling! This car goes exactly where you want it to go! Acceleration almost doesn't matter when it has such a perfect handling, even though the acceleration wasn't too bad either. A quite cheap car to buy, drive and own compared to opponents.

Dollar for Dollar, the Miata is the best performing, most neutral handling, mechanically reliable sports car on the road today. Paying homage to sports car heritage, like the MGA's and Austin Healey's of the late 50's and early sixties, it is a DOHC 1.8 liter front-engine, limited-slip rear wheel drive, light-weight two seater sports car. It's perfect for weekend jaunts to the Russian River and Sonoma coast, or Monterey, Carmel, and Big Sur. Mine is a fine example of the first year of the Miata's second generation. It's triple black; exterior, interior and top. Cloth seats which are cooler and less slippery in the twisties. It's a "weekend car" with low milage, and it's stored in a dry wharehouse under a cover. I hope it lasts forever.

No finer car to have fun with. You can get the top down most any time of the year, only rain is a pain. One passenger seat means never having to drive the mother in- law. Not that I have one.

This car handles amazingly for the price. From the factory they perform flawlessly. With very little modifications to the suspension and drive train you can have yourself a great little track car that is fun to drive around and cheap to maintain.
