What Owners are Saying About the 2003 MAZDA MX-5 Miata
"SO MUCH FUN!!!!!"
"I’ve always pampered my vehicles. When you take good care of a vehicle, that vehicle will take care of you. My 2002 Emerald Green Mica MX-5 has been one heck of a car. I only drive her around 3200 miles a year, but she turns heads every time she hits the road. My MX is reliable, cheap to maintain (thanks to great parts from Moss Miata) and a blast to drive. I plan on keeping my MX-5 till the wheels fall off....then I’ll just buy another set. One great thing about Miatas, if you keep up to date on maintenance, they’ll last 200,000 miles if not more. All in all, I love my Miata."
"My Favorite Car"
"I've had two Miatas thus far, and I love this car! My first Miata was broadsided by a speeding SUV running a red light; I was pushed into two other cars. Although I was badly shaken from the crash (my aching head!) apart from a slight air bag abrasion, I walked away w/o a single bruise or cut. So, I feel this is a safe car. It's also great fun to drive & the tiny size gets me out of carpool duties. Milage is great & super reliable; my 1999 still looks good & runs like a top!"
"What a car!"
"Ive had my Shinsen Ed. Miata since 2012 and have had nothing but fun banging the gears on these Tennessee hills and curves. She has been reliable and have only had to put one new battery in and a new set of tires over the almost 8 years I’ve had her. She is garaged and kept in A-1 condition. Much more fun to drive than the ‘91 Corvette I owned for 5 years before the Miata."
