"This 2006 Miata MX-5 lives up to it's reputation "Most fun factor" - besides handling the country roads in the Applegate Valley of SW Oregon as well as any of the more costly sports cars. Reliability is unsurpassed and the saddle leather interior fits like a glove even for someone 6'1". Can't go wrong with this car."

"I bought this car with less than 30,000 miles on it. With the manual 6 speed I averaged over 32 mpg on a 400 mile weekend trip. It shifts effortlessly. The sixth gear could be a little higher to reduce rpms at 75 mph and improve mpg. Excellent cornering-feels like tires glued to the road. Manual convertible top better than electric because it takes about 5 seconds to lower. Quite noisy with top up. Passenger window leaks where top folds. Difficult to get in and out of. Seats could have more side support. I forgive all its faults since it is the best sports car for the price."

"This is a fun car to drive and ride. It gets excellent mileage, appears reliable, great apperance, etc I do not drive on a regular basis and will probable keep it in the garage most of the winter. I would like to join a Miata club if I could locate one."

"I originally had a 2000 Miata SE and loved it but it was a bit to small for my 6'3" frame. I sold it and bought a larger new body style 2006 Miata 3rd Generation Limited. It fits. I love this car. It's fast, handles great and is a eal head turner especially with its Velocity Red special paint and chrome lughage rack. I bought it on Cars.com and was very happy with the transaction."

"Rides a little rough, kind of like a go-kart but is extremely fun to drive. Great gas mileage-22 in the city! I have driven on the highway but not checked mileage yet. A pleasure on the highway although the seats do tend to get a little hard after a couple of hundred miles!! A little noisy with the top down but much better than I expected with top up. Bose speakers are great but the radio itself leaves a little to be desired. Mazda says you can put 3 carry-on sized suitcases in the trunk but I can't figure out how they did it! I met a man who put a supercharger on his but I don't understand why, this car has more power for a four cyl. than I will ever need. This is a great little two-seater and I fully recommend it."

"My Miata MX 5 reminds me of my early days in MG's starting in the 1960's. It gives you the feel of the old English cars with bullet-proof reliability."
