2006 Mazda MX-5 Miata Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by drallen
Member4319
Handling
Handles like much more expensive roadsters. The car just dances.
Powertrain performance
Surprisingly strong. The 6-speed is almost as good as the Honda S2000. The car itself feels almost the same as an S2000 all the way up to 7/10ths.
Fuel economy
The MX-5 always seemed to be great on gas, no matter how hard you flogged it, top up or top down.
Exterior styling
Classic roadster lines.
Reliability & durability
Car had a major issue with its engine computer, fixed under warrantee. Other than that, no real issues.
Front seat room
Taller drivers will fit, but you have to get the seat JUST right.
Audio & nav systems
Stock stereo was a joke. Underpowered. Had to upgrade speakers and ad an amp just to hear radio with the top down. "SAT" and "MEDIA" buttons do nothing. No aux jack for MP3 players. Ipod hook up was an overpriced dealer add-on.
Ride smoothness
Hey. Its a sports car... Not a Rolls.
