2013 Mazda Miata MX-5 Review
By KBB.com EditorsIf you love the look and open-air feel of the old British Triumphs and MGs, but you don't want to deal with the hassle of a 50-year-old used car, the 2013 Mazda MX-5 Miata lets you have your cake
If you're over 6-feet tall or need a bit more hip room in your daily driver, the Miata's tight seats and limited headroom (top up) are going to prove problematic. A better choice might be the
There is nothing about the 2013 Mazda Miata convertible that we don't like. Is it loaded with horsepower? No. But, with a total weight of roughly 2,500 pounds, the 167-horsepower 2.0-liter engine is more than sufficient. From the lovely quick-shifting manual transmission to the near-instantaneous steering turn-in response, the Miata is a true enthusiast driver's dream. The Miata's all-independent suspension and almost 50/50 front-to-rear weight distribution contribute to the terrific level of handling, as well as the compliant ride.

"This car is quick and handles well right out of the box. I have the Touring trim with a Power Hard Top and use it as a daily driver. Due to California weather, I am able to drive top down nearly year round, which is a huge benefit for convertible owners. In addition, it's our preferred road trip car of choice (at least until we have kids) because you can put the top down without compromising trunk space. The only issues I have had so far are as follows: 1. Rattling behind radio due to unsecured satellite radio wire, which would resonate as RPMs increased - fixed under warranty 2. A couple of other minor rattles - found by my Mazda dealer and fixed under warranty 3. Significant brake dust and squealing from OEM brake pads - I replaced the brakes early at 20k miles with ceramic pads and haven't had this issue again since 4. Rear struts are currently seeping - this is a disappointing issue because they shouldn't be showing signs of failure this early and the car is just a couple of months outside of warranty. I am going to contact the dealer soon to see if a goodwill fix can be made even though the car is out of warranty. 5. It's really hard to avoid swirl marks on black paint. 6. The interior door panels above the armrests show scuffs easily, but a quick rub with a damp towel removes them. When I think about the British roadsters the Miata was modeled after and all the problems they have, these issues seem pretty minor. For the price and the amount of fun that can be had with this car, you can tell why it's a well respected car by enthusiasts."

"We bought a Miata the first year they came out. Now on my fourth one, a 2008. As long as I have a license (I'm 72) I will drive a Miata."
