This car only has about 120k miles on it even though it's 23 years old. It still runs and drives great with only minor maintenance, which so far, I have been able to perform myself (i.e. replaced brake cylinder (leaking), water pump (leaking), and timing belt (which was a no brainer when replacing the water pump anyway). I have met many Miata owners and former owners who all give the car high marks. Most former owners say "Don't ever sell that car!"

Cute car with engine that doesn't seem to wear out
Our Mazda Miata (which we named Casper because it's white and cute with a roundish build) is a great little car. We've had it 26 years and it's still going strong. We've been told the engine was only intended to last 100,000 miles, but we're at over 160,000 miles with no signs of the engine quitting anytime soon. The car handles well and has ample power, although sometimes a little sluggish in the mountains. Gas mileage is good despite its age. The biggest issue we've had with it is the rear window. We've got a convertible, and we've replaced the rear window a few times over the years.

Fun and affordable convertible
This is a fun car at an affordable price. While other convertibles can run pretty expensive, this one is mostly pretty cheap, and the upkeep is on par with other vehicles.
