1990 Mazda MX5 Miata review from North America
"Definite buy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the rear plastic window. (faded)
Car vibrates at 100-105Km/hr.
Manual adjustment of side mirrors difficult.. Plastic may crack if forced.
General comments?
The ride is sporty and high speed can be safely attained in tight curves.
Suggest installation of radio speakers in headrests.
Fairly economical of gas. Very low maintenance cost.
