I love my 1994 Miata M Edition! Regular maintenance is key. Stick to the manual’s schedule for oil changes and fluid checks. Also, consider upgrading the coolant system for better longevity.

I’ve noticed the throttle body can be a common issue. Make sure to clean it regularly to prevent any hesitation while driving.

4

Don’t forget to check the timing belt! It’s one of the essential replacement parts. If it breaks, it can cause major engine issues. Replace it every 60,000 miles.

Wow, I didn’t realize that! What about the suspension? I’ve heard the shocks wear out pretty quickly on these cars.

Yes, the suspension is crucial! I recommend upgrading to Koni shocks if you’re looking for performance. They’ll keep the ride smooth and steady.

And how about rust? I’ve seen a few Miatas that have rust problems, especially around the rear wheel wells. Regular inspections and touch-up paint can help.

Great advice! Also, don’t forget to exchange the spark plugs every couple of years. It makes a noticeable difference in performance.

I agree! Plus, investing in good tires is essential. A Miata’s handling can really shine with the right rubber on the road.

That’s true! But can we talk about how fun these cars are? Nothing beats a long drive with the top down!

Absolutely! But I must say, people underestimate these cars. You practically have to drive with a smile!
