2003 Mazda Miata MX-5 Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by tuckmics
Member1283
Handling
Best handling of all the roadster-style sports cars I test drove.
Exterior styling
It was a wonderful design when released in 1989 and still is. Subtle changes have updated the car without ruining the overall look.
Past personal experience
Great handling, smooth shifting and all around fun to drive...ZOOM ZOOM!
Reliability & durability
Have had two (1996 and 2003) and have never had either one in the shop.
Audio & nav systems
No nav system but a great Boise stereo that sounds great even at 75 mph with the top down.
Rear seat room & comfort
No rear seat.
Fuel economy
For a small (size of a subcompact) 4-cylinder stick shift, it only gets around 28 mpg highway...my 6-cylinder Honda Accord got 30+.
Quietness
It is a pretty noisy car, with or without the top down.
Color choices
Nothing too exciting...pretty standard Red, White, Blue, Black and usually some limited edition color like pumpkin or cranberry...
