Question:
Looking for real owner comments, good or bad. My current car died and I need wheels. My 'dream car' has always been a Mazda Miata convertible. I can get a never-driven 2006 Miata convertible what exactly what I want on it. However, doing so at the price I've negotiated would pretty much put me in the red every month. But I'd LOVE having it and hey, I could die tomorrow. But, is it a good car? Is it worth it, in every way? Or, I could be 'practical' and get an EXCELLENT deal on a loaded 2004 Tiburon with 23,000 miles on it and I could easily afford it (well, it wouldn't break me), and I'd have a pretty cool looking car for a very good price. But, is it a good car? Everything I read says it is. But you owners tell me the truth. You Miata owners tell me. I know the Miata has a better resale value, but I'm going to be driving this til it dies or I do! Other options are a 2004 Chevy Cobalt or Mitsubishi Eclipse. PLEASE help me make a decision! If you own one of these, give me your input!

New Cars in Canada. Buy or Lease, Which is better??
Well personally, I've always thought Miata's were 'ok' cars. I had always thought to myself, "Mid-life crisis." But now I was actually handed down a Miata myself and I must say I like it ALOT more than I had thought. VERY dependable. Fun to drive, easily modified, pretty decent gas milage(around20-25 depending how you drive). I got handed down a 1990 Miata with a little over 260,000 miles on it, and it's running strong!! Still did the necessary oil, air filter, and brake changes and whatnot. Overall though, very reliable and worth the money in the long run. Only thing I would change on mine is the color. I have the classic red. I wanna go for black. Good luck!Please help...used car question??
Oh and the tiberion i know nothing about. :)
Uh. they did make the Miata prior to 2006.
Tiburon's are cool cars i like them but really its up to you
If it were me, even though I wanted the car really bad, I would avoid the one that would cause me to go into the red every month. It's just not smart, and you could hurt your credit rating if you defer on a payment, which would make it much harder to get another loan, and if you can you'd be stuck with a much higher interest rate.
What's a good car if you're buying from an older model?
So I'd say go for the Tiburon. It's a sharp looking car and the performance isn't that bad.
They didnt make the cobalt until 2005. but I highly reccomend them.
You shoukd be able to get a 2001 to 2005 miata for about $9000 to $18000, even a mazdaspeed, I would look for one of those and forget about the other cars. I have a 2001 Miata and I love it!
