Why it stands out
The 2021 Mazda MX-5 Miata offers a unique driving experience that stands out in the sports car segment. With its rear-wheel drive layout and lightweight design, the Miata is known for its agile handling and engaging performance. The car's 2.0-liter engine provides ample power without being overwhelming, allowing drivers to enjoy the thrill of the drive while achieving an estimated 30 mpg combined with the automatic transmission. Its stylish exterior is complemented by a well-crafted interior, although it is more focused on driving enjoyment than luxury, which some buyers appreciate for its authenticity. While the cockpit may feel snug and the cargo space is limited, the Miata makes up for these shortcomings with a fantastic driving experience, praised by many owners for its sheer fun. Additionally, its strong reliability and good value in the used car market make it an appealing choice for enthusiasts looking for a budget-friendly sports car.

Good price, but the car shows its millage in its paint. Ride was good and interior was in good condition

Fin Tastic car in every way. The only reason I don’t give it five stars is a lot of wind noise even with top up in the c- pillars at highway speeds. So much so that I wore my noise canceling earbuds. with that said, it is still a fantastic car that brings a smile to my face every time I drive it.
