1995 Mazda MX5 review from North America
"Don t know how much fun I missed till I got one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, everything runs great although it has the typical Mazda HLA ticking until warmed up, and the top pinched itself.
General comments?
When I got this car it was rough cosmetically. Mechanically the car was sound. After some minor bodywork, major detailing, and replacement of OEM parts, I have had a ball driving the Miata. Summer cruising top down is a blast, and the car is toasty in the winter. It runs like a swiss watch in all departments and looks like it will for lots more miles. Snowy/icy driving is totally out after some hairy experiences.
