Used Mazda MX-5 Miata for Sale near Welland, ON
4.5 Overall rating
(6 reviews)This car is a lot of fun. I love the convertible top. I have a hard time keeping it clean on the outside. I love the sound system and the leather interior. I am extremely blessed to have this car.
I'm Six-Feet and 180-lbs - this car fits like a glove. For someone who hasn't attended a performance driving school, it has just enough performance to be exciting without being dangerous. Strongly recommend buying with the "sport" package (upgraded suspension and L.S.D.).
Best car I have ever bought. It was produced by Mazda for Breast Cancer Research, and it went around the whole of the UK raising money for the charity. £1 for every person who sat in it. Then all the money I paid for it went to the charity as well... so my beautiful car raised over £30,000! It holds the road really well, and the long bonnet makes you feel really safe. Beautiful black leather covers the whole of the inside, and it came with both soft and hard tops.. This beautiful car is PINK! the pain designed uniquely for BCR.. It is a totally one-of-a-kind car, the colour will never be sprayed onto another car, which is why i love my car and won't sell it. It is unique and will always be my absolute favourite car that I have ever owned!
Most fun one can have in a car with least cost of ownership… I'm not a motoring journalist but I think I can be a good one. I'd love that job of endlessly driving all new cars but it also comes with having to type endlessly as well. Because I'm not good at typing up a review in 2 minutes, it'll come when I have some (lot) more time. After a very long time... Finally, after a few months, and after being motivated by a dear friend (who said I was very talented in this area and that I was wasting it by not trying), I've managed to allot some time and energy to this rather boring task of typing up a review about my superb little car - 2006 Mazda MX-5 Sport. So, if you've reached thus far, that means you don't have anything better to do and I will try to make sure that your time here has been worthwhile (or so you'll think). A word of caution: I may use a lot of clichés. Performance: Although it may only have a 170 horsepower (don't write in to complain; 166 bhp for 2006 automatic transmission and all models since 2007) 2.0 Liter In-line 4-cylinder engine, if you manage to change gears quickly on the super slick 6-speed close ratio gearbox, you will leave most other road users behind at a signal. Partly, this is because of a total lack of weight, (lighter cars accelerate quicker; only lighter cars available in US are Lotus Elise and Exige) and partly because of Variable Valve Timing. The job of VVT is to alter the timing of intake and exhaust valves at about 3,800 rpm, beyond which, you will feel an invisible push like you've been caught in a sea-wave, unless you're used to driving cars that cost more than twice as much as this one does. Did you know that the Mazda Miata/MX-5 is the most popular car in the weekend racing scene anywhere in the world? And it is the bestselling 2 seater convertible sports car in the world, in the history of automobile!! Brakes are phenomenal this side of carbon ceramics. They are steel disks on all four corners and have excellent feel, while not biting too quickly. This means, they are comfortable during normal everyday use as well as being more than sufficient (coupled with ABS) when it really matters. And because this car is so light weight, the momentum is not carried much far when you brake. Handling is epic as well. There are three factors working in conjunction here. One: The optional sport package (Bilstein shocks, Sport tuned suspension and Limited Slip Differential) is definitely worth if you want to race. Two: Near- perfect weight distribution (advantages of rear wheel drive) means near- perfect balance while cornering. Three: Again, lesser the weight, lesser the centrifugal force that pulls the car out of its track while turning. Even during normal driving, you can feel the laser sharp steering without a trace of under or over-steer. You can, if you want, break the rear tires free and manage a glorious power- slide, by applying too much power or by lifting off, and feeding in some opposite lock. When I power-slid this car for the first time in my life, this car did not make me feel like I'm ham-fisted (either that or I mastered power-sliding just by looking at youtube videos of others doing it). It flattered me, made me look like a hero (girls don't admit it but I think they secretly admire men who can power-slide). Build Quality: I've had this car for a few years now and the only repair it ever needed was one of the spark-plugs had a loose connection. But because of the hard suspension, the car rattles over bumps. Although these little sounds makes you think that something is falling apart, everything continues to work like a charm and nothing is broken. Even so, these rattles are definitely unnerving and concern-causing, making you keep your fingers crossed, wishing for that legendary Japanese reliability to be a reality and more than just a legend. Appearance: Should I comment on something as subjective as looks? I guess I can give my opinion of it with the obvious risk of looking like a queer (I assure you that I'm completely straight). For most people, the 1st and 2nd generation Miatas looked cute and hence feminine and in turn connected all the males driving it, to gay community. To me, there is nothing wrong with cars that look cute. I liked the looks of those very much. This 3rd generation styling is a trial to dissociate those views. I think it worked and I still like it a lot. To make the car look masculine, the Japs have gone to the Germans for styling the front end. Enough said!!! Cost of Ownership: It's simple physics actually - less weight means not much power required to make it move; therefore less gas consumed. It’s not very expensive to maintain either. You will not regret it for any reason if you bought this car. Fun Factor: As I said, it is the most fun once can have in a car with the least cost of ownership. Yes - you can have more fun in Porsche, Ferrari or Lamborghini - but think of what your expenditure is going to be. So I'll save my change, if you please, for a Porsche later in life. Damn! I wish either of two things to happen - 1. Mazda, if you're reading this, please make a non-convertible, hardtop, coupe version of MX-5 and lose that grinning face of post-2008 models. 2. Or somehow I find many millions...
Ideale roadster om er op uit te trekken en als het zonnetje schijnt is er altijd een vakantiegevoel omdat je met deze MX5 zo veel plezier kan beleven aan het rijden alleen al en dat kan je niet van alle wagens zeggen !
