2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
In anticipation of a complete redesign the following year, Mazda made no significant changes to its popular MX-5 Miata roadster for 2005, other than the addition of a two new exterior colors (Razor Blue and Nordic Green). The MX-5 Miata was available in Base and LS versions, both of which came with a 142-horsepower, 1.8-liter four cylinder engine. A five-speed manual transmission was standard, while a four-speed automatic was optional. Standard features for the MX-5 Miata included air conditioning, power windows, dual airbags, power exterior mirrors, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a CD player, as well as a convertible top. The LS version added leather seats, cruise control, and a premium Bose audio system, among other features. The Miata's responsive handling, reliability, styling, seats, and overall fun factor all received high marks from drivers, while roominess, a stiff manual transmission, and suspension were among the negatives cited by drivers.

Just a great car overall. Engine performance is somewhat lacking and interior cabin is tight. The car gets great gas mileage and has low maintenance cost. It is an extremely fun car to drive and handles better than 99.9% other cars. If your looking for a roadster this is the best value for your money.May 07, 2014

Double wishbones all around. Ideal for atocross events. Built quality is incredible for a car 15 years old. Very good brakes. Appearance is good but I didnt bought it because it is a cabrio, I bought it to enjoy the RWD fiestaaaaaaaa.

The MX-5 is simply the best value and performing 2 seat coupé/convertible on the market.
The rear drive chassis, the handling, comfort and build quality make it the best choice in this market.
Only let down by ridiculously short intervals and expensive services, the car was a pleasure to own and drive no matter what the weatherNov 17, 2007
