What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Mazda MX-5 Miata

Price of the Mazda MX-5 Miata: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 2dr Convertible 167-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed manual RWD		 Inexpensive for a convertible sports car.
2006 2dr Convertible 170-horsepower 2.0L I4
6-speed manual RWD		 Bought it used (2 years old) for $16,500 with 8000 miles on it. If you can find one you like for similar money, buy it. This model year has a 4 year bumper to bumper warranty, unlike subsequent years which are covered for 3 years.
2004 2dr Convertible turbocharged 178hp 1.8L I4
6-speed manual RWD		 Great value for the car -- Used, I could get a fully loaded sports car for the same price as a new base model economy car.
2003 2dr Convertible 142-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual RWD		 Bought used, 2 owner car, both ladies drove it only for weekend joy ride, covered and garaged, e.g. low mileage, showroom condition...3K under Blue Book.
2003 2dr Convertible 142-horsepower 1.8L I4
6-speed manual RWD		 The price point for a used 03 Miata are quite attractive, considering other roadsters.
2002 2dr Convertible 142-horsepower 1.8L I4
6-speed manual RWD		 Price on the later models is a bit high for how little creature comforts you get. Worth it once you find out how fun and reliable it is. Great on gas too
Price of the Mazda MX-5 Miata: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2003 2dr Convertible 142-horsepower 1.8L I4
5-speed manual RWD		 Very pricey in Canada (30k for a stripper), dealers do not want to deal.

5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Yes, I did until they gave $4K incentive right now
2008 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Good value for a mid-sized luxury SUV
Price of the Acura MDX: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 about 10% overpriced.
2008 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 A similarly equipped Mazda CX-9 was $4,500 less.
2008 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 They should make leases more affordable.
2007 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Higher than FX
2007 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Given current resale values I think the original pricing was too high.
2007 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Expensive
2006 4dr SUV 253-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Can get expensive, but still a good value in the field.
2006 4dr SUV 253-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Cost more than a car, but less than most SUVs.
2004 4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Comparatively speaking, the incentive from BMW (less $6000) was what did it for me. Acura could not match it.
2003 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Price is too high.
