Why the 2005 Mazda Miata MX-5?

Handling

It is precise, easy, amazing! This car can handle with the best of them and can take on any curves you can throw at it.

Fuel economy

Excellent mileage. I get 36mpg on normal highway cruises and about 28mpg in town. When I go to the race track, I run around 22-24 mpg. If you are really savvy, this car burns about 2 gallons an hour! So cheap to keep on the road.

Powertrain performance

Turbocharged! It is a light car with all the power it really needs, now if you are like me and are a track type of person, this car is mod-friendly.

Safety & braking

Braking is easily done, with a light frame such as this you can stop on a dime. You can maneuver out of the way of many accidents so this makes it extremely safe in the hands of a skilled driver.

Reliability & durability

Never have had a single issue in the last 30,000 miles that I have put on the car in the last 8 months.
