Survivor, 82k Original Miles, Classic Red, NA 1997 Mazda Miata MX5

The Miata is ALWAYS the answer. They are so good in fact, Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear says, "The fact is that if you want a sports car, the MX-5 is perfect. Nothing on the road will give you better value. Nothing will give you so much fun. The only reason I'm giving it five stars is because I can't give it fourteen".

In the world of sports cars, few models capture the essence of a true driving experience like the Mazda MX-5 Miata. This 1997 Miata, with only 82k original miles and two careful owners, embodies the timeless appeal and iconic design that has made the Miata a legend among roadsters.

Draped in Classic Red, this Miata's sleek lines exude nostalgia while offering a modern driving experience that sets it apart in the sports car market.
