| 2002 | 2dr Convertible 142-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed manual RWD |
This is truly the most reliable car i have ever owned. I would buy a new one but I feel they killed the exterior looks. They took a step backwords and designed a car that looks like the 1 series. Interior and engine is better though. Great great car!!! full 2002 Mazda MX-5 Miata review |
