Mazda Miata

[Jun aka Pekto]

Got a photo of the V8 Miata?

No. But, imagine a Miata with the twin tailpipes of a late 80's/early 90's 5.0 Mustang LX sticking out in the back.

How does this 10 year old car perform? Kung walang horror stories or bad issues about it, then I have to save money NOW!

Old Miata? At this point, medyo prone na yung mga running examples to structural flex (kaya if you want to do track time, you should invest in a rollcage and/or strut bars) but this is relatively benign. Handling is very keen and communicative, unlike most modern cars, you can tell what the wheels are doing.

Unless the Miata is on aftermarket rims and tires, outright grip is merely great but not exceptional. What is great is that the transition between grip and slip is easier to detect than in other cars, and easy to control. And if you're on newer and stickier tires, the grip and control the tiny car will give you is amazing.

Acceleration? Highway racing? Forget it. Most 2.0 and above cars can either outpace or out-accelerate the Miata. But, as with all Mazdas, find a winding road, and you'll be very very happy.
