    Hey Scotty, I have a 2018 Honda Accord lx with 13,000 miles that suffers from oil dilution which we all know about the earth dreams engine. Another thing that isn't talked about as much but is still a common issue is the rear camshaft seals were very poorly made. Mine leaks a bit of oil and if you search up the issue you can find that it is actually quite common. I just figured I would mention it incase you want another example of how poor Honda's quality has become.

    Well I daily drive a Ford with a 2.0 Mazda engine and because it's a manual it's pretty quick but with an automatic it's a complete dog, because it only has a narrow power band. So if you work the gearbox like a racing driver you outperform anyone with an ordinary car but if you're not very good at driving a manual or have an automatic you won't get anything good out of it.

How stupid do you have to be to expect a modern car loaded with tech and security features and a beefy engine to be same as reliable as a 70s car... Of course there are things breaking more often if you have twice the tech. And if course it is easier to repair a head gasket on a 6.2l 90 Horsepower gas hog than on a 1.6 Turbo with 180hp. And not to mention that cars back then also had serious problems. Like Ford Pintos that randomly blow up when rear ended. So what is your point?

They use modified ford power steering pumps, maybe the best made hydrolic accessory ever made as far as reliability and rare leaks, failures. Uses Tras fluid. So loud and sounds like its gonna break from day 1 but lasts all the way to the crusher.

    Smart review, Scotty! Yes, you should absolutely buy one. I have a '97 and it is so much fun to drive. The first gen (NA) had plastic vinyl back windows, but the second generation (NB) had glass rear windows and that one there even has the rear defroster lines in it. I retrofitted an NB top with glass window / defroster into my older NA model, and it works like a champ! I have a video on my channel if anyone cares to see that job. But yeah...overall great cars!

    I used to autocross one of these. It was a real hoot. Handled like an Austin Healy Sprite with oversteer. The Miata was styled after the Lotus Elite. All the ratios are from the Lotus. The top was extremely easy to put up and down - one handed. The optional hard top was a very good investment, especially in the winter in northern VA. BTW, Scotty, did you notice the check engine light was on?

    I just bought a 2016 Miata with only 4200 miles on it. Have only driven it for a couple weeks but I love it. It has an auto trans though, but couldn't turn down a great deal. Glad you posted about them....makes me feel like I just got the deal of a lifetime!!! I'm in Canada, so, it's just a summer runabout and I expect it to outlast me since I'm 75 years young......

My 1994 mustang, which I still own, only uses lift supports for the trunk. It only takes one gonk on the head to tell you it’s time to replace! Had to replace them in 2004 and then again in 2014. Car isn’t garbage, the technology is! In 4 years I’ll have to replace them again!

But great, dependable, fun car. Tip: I think the current (2019+) Miata's will become known as the best Miata's ever. They did all they could to lighten it up, and the engine change in 2019 was just what that model needed.

It had well over $1,000 in tastful upgrades such as leather seat covers, top tier roll bar, touch screen radio, keyless entry, K&N air filter, floor mats, Miata sun reflector, and a new top with with glass and defroster. I’ve had a fuel pump fail and now what I believe is a blown head gasket or stuck valve. I don’t mind working on it. It’s an amazing car and well worth it’s value!

    I had one for 16 years. The first year. White with black. I got 250,000 miles on the original clutch which was still working when I sold it to a friend. One replaced timing belt, one replaced water pump. Three tops. I replaced the radiator as the plastic one was useless in the Gulf Coast heat. The wiring was starting to get quirky. Plastic window was much larger. Loved the simple manual top. Best top I ever had. Sure beat the MGB, 325ic, old Jag. It was similar to the 70s Fiat Spider top.
