Absolutely! I love how the car feels so connected to the road. It really captures that pure sports car experience, unlike many modern cars.

The M Edition gives you those essential sports car vibes with its 1.8L engine. Playing with the revs adds to the excitement. How does it compare in terms of speed with, say, a 1995 Honda Civic Si?

While the Civic Si is a solid performer, the Miata’s handling and driving dynamics make it a more engaging experience overall. Speed isn’t everything!

I totally agree with you, keith64. The Miata feels nimble, especially in tight corners. Other sports cars from that era might have more power, but the Miata delivers fun in a different way.

It’s impressive how it still holds its value today. I think the driving experience is what keeps enthusiasts coming back for more, despite the raw stats.

Exactly! It’s not just about power; it’s the entire package. The simplicity is refreshing too. It’s like a breath of fresh air in a sea of complexes!

Isn’t the lightweight structure key to its fun? When compared to other sports cars, that aspect gives the Miata a unique edge in handling and responsiveness.

I love the M Edition’s exclusive features! But can we agree that the MX-5 just embodies the spirit of driving better than, say, a 1995 Ford Mustang?

Now that’s contentious! The Mustang has the muscle, but the Miata is definitely the driver’s choice for handling. They both offer something unique.

I can’t help but chuckle at the idea of a 1995 Miata trying to outrun a Mustang! But hey, it’s about enjoyment, not just speed!

13

True! I love the bit of humor in that, but it’s all about the twisty roads where the Miata shines brightest!

Reflecting on my own experience, I appreciate how the Miata feels unpretentious. It’s a car that invites you to just drive and connect with the road.

The 1995 Miata M Edition is a gem! Maintenance is quite reasonable compared to many sports cars, and I’ve found parts availability to be pretty good. Just keep an eye on the timing belt and suspension components.

16

Absolutely! Its lightweight design really makes it fun to drive. I agree, parts are usually not too hard to find, especially if you check online forums and local clubs.

17

I’ve owned mine for over five years now. The only major issue I faced was with the clutch. Overall, I’d say it’s pretty reliable. Just regular maintenance has kept it going strong!

18

Good to know! I’ve heard some folks also have problems with the radiator. Not too common, but worth checking during regular upkeep.

19

I agree with both of you! Besides regular oil changes, I haven’t had any significant issues. Staying on top of maintenance makes a huge difference in reliability.

True! The community has a wealth of resources, so you’re rarely left in the dark when things go wrong!
