2000 Mazda MX5 Miata review from North America
"The most fun you can legally have with your clothes on!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car required new tires. Given the level of performance this car is capable of, the rate of tire wear was within the normal range of wear & tear.
General comments?
The MX-5 Miata LS is an exceptional automobile. While you can spend considerably more money (the BMW Z3 or the Honda S2000), the increase in car is nowhere near the cost. Anyone who purchases a 2-seat roadster sports car should know the limitation of the type. With this said, the Miata is an absolute blast to drive, cheap to operate and insure and is rock solid dependable. For most people this is enough, but when you can reach up and drop that top. Autopia (car heaven)!!!
