1996 Mazda MX5 Miata review from North America
"The best handling car for the money!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing!
General comments?
This is the best handling car I have owned, and I have owned over 20 different sports cars in the last 13 years. This is the most confident feeling car I have owned. Only a BMW or MB would feel similar but at 3 times the money.
