MX-5 looks like a very solid used convertible buy ' but standard checks still apply.

What nice pictures (although hard to take bad pictures of such a beautiful car), and a sharp colour.  Sure cheered up my day, as I am not looking forward to the snow this afternoon..

I still think this the standard that all 2 door coupes should aspire to. Light, nimble, fun to drive, reliable.....I would love to have one in the stable.

Great 'bang for the buck' sports car. 
I've owned a 1997 NA that was mainly used as a track car and a 1990 NA that was V8 powered, and I've driven a number of NCs, which I liked a lot.
I can't wait to take a closer look at the new ND.

Yeah, for what I would get for the Mustang....I could maybe get an automatic NA with 400,000km, a lot of rust and something that has had its last oil change when the Berlin Wall was still being taken down.

I know some club members that will be selling their NCs to buy NDs and I think used prices on them will be pretty decent at least until all the NC owners have bailed for the ND.

I have an '07-GT and I just love the little car.  Tip: To improve/soften the ride try a new set of Michelin Pilot AS3's.

Was on the way home from daycare.  Saw a sports car ahead, couldn't tell what it was.  Worked my way over to his lane, sped up behind him.  Said it was an MX-5.  I know for sure it wasn't an NA or NB, but for some reason it didn't like the NC either.  At the rear, it was like the RX-8, it flared out a bit at the rear wheels.  It seemed a bit more squared off as well.  I suspect it was an NC with some kind of body kit...

Always been a fan of the Miata. Maybe one day.

Was very intrigued with the convertible hard top model. Really love the Miata/Mx-5.

The best sports car for average Joe! Why Mazda continue to mishmash its name with MX-5 designation? Miata doesn't need it at all!

Why would you soften the ride?  Its too soft in the first place.  Putting all seasons on makes me sad.
