Here's what Edmunds.com has to say about the Mazda Miata: "Defining the term "sports car" for more than a decade, a Miata can carve up switchback mountain roads and rush-hour traffic with equal aplomb, plastering a smile on your face a mile wide."

In our opinion, the Miata stands out as the firm leader in its class and both defines and owns the term "affordable roadster". It was an immediate hit when introduced in 1989 and and has only gotten better since, becoming even quicker and more capable.

We have had a good number of them here over the years and they are just a blast to drive. Credit goes to the ultra-responsive steering, the communicative handling, an energetic engine, the short throw manual shift and a rear-wheel drive with perfect weight distribution.

And we're far from alone in our opinion. It get's Cars.com's "Best Bet Award", not to mention Edmunds.com's "Used Car Best Bet Award", along with their "Consumers Most Wanted" and "Editors Most Wanted" Awards. J.D. Power chimes in with a 4.5 (out of 5) for Performance and a perfect 5 for its Automotive Environmental Index.

All current Miatas (2006+) come with a 170 horsepower 2.0 liter incline four-cylinder engine. This is nearly as much power as the turbo charged MazdaSpeed models produced in 2004 and 2005. You can match this with a 5-speed or 6-speed manual transmission, or a 6-speed automatic, depending on the trim level.

The 2007 model even introduced a power hardtop for additional safety and enhanced quietness.

Throw in the fact that this can all be had at an affordable price, and we believe the Miata makes an outstanding choice as a used car purchase for those looking for something fun and sporty.

And we can suggest two ways to help you save when buying one.

You see, we're Car Wholesalers, not a "Retail Car Dealer". And we will get one specifically for you at a wholesale Dealer-Only auction ... a Pre-Inspected and AutoCheck Assured Miata MX-5. You see, we're always on the lookout for the nicest used Miatas for sale at these auctions.
