Bough the car when it is 14 years old with 75k miles. Like everything else that gets old, "ALL" of the usual wear and tear parts (rubber parts) needed to be replaced/rebuilt (rebuild calipers, replace valve cover gasket, rebuild clutch slave, etc). These may sound bad, but trust me it is NOT, easily done by a handyman and there is a lot of information and how tos for the MX5/Miata so anyone can do it. Other than that, this car is a rock!
Handles like every says it does! If you are considering this car, try to stay away from open differentials as they have poorER traction.
Everyone should drive one, in fact everyone should share theirs to allow others the joy of driving it even if just for once.
I could not agree with you more. Please someone toss me your keys. I already have my fingerless gloves ready. Miata's are fantastic little runners :-) Thanks guy for your review.
