What Owners are Saying About the 2026 MAZDA MX-5 Miata
"Best Retirement Toy"
"This is my first Miata, and it's over the moon in terms of styling and performance. The ride is firm and the handling is on the mark tight. I wish it had internet connectivity and that the seat cushion height could be adjusted. My car is the Grand touring model with the optional Soul Red color, and daily I'm complimented on it. The car's profile reminds me of the '68 Stingray convertible I had as a kid, especially around the elevated front fender wheel wells and the sloping front hood."
"A solid and Fun car to own"
"This is my third Miata and I have enjoyed each one. This Grand Touring RF is the best so far. It has had few problems and as always is mechanically sound. The styling is outstanding and the Soul Red Crystal paint is amazing. I rarely fail to get a thumbs up and statements of approval when I travel to town. I fail to understand the very few negative ratings since I have never experienced any problems. The Mazda Miata has my strongest recommendation and I am looking forward to another one in the near future."
"I love my Miata!!"
"The little car is an amazing, affordable sports car!"
