Reliable, sporty, beautiful, economical and fun!

I had a 1990 Miata before. It was extremely reliable and fun to drive. This one does not disappoint. Thus far, it has been fun to drive and very economical.

Most fun for the money

Reliable, thrifty, sporty and fun to drive. All four iterations of the Miata have the potential to become classic sports cars. Ample trunk roon for groceries or golf clubs.
