We all know the Miata, the answer to all, the car of cars, the roadster to end all roadsters. So what do you think of this particular example?

As usual, the Miata is powered by an inline 4 producing 116 hp and 100 lb-ft at 6500 RPM. The 1.6L is connected to a 5-speed manual auto, and that to a RWD configuration.

So tell me Oppo, what do you think of this Miata?

Body looks good, so if the price is right I’d say go for it. If you are gonna upgrade you can always swap a manual in if you want one.

Good:

Low mileage for a 25 year-old car

Looks like typical red paint (single stage, I believe) fading on the bumper, no big worries there

Purest of Miatas

Bad:

1.6L that might make 100hp on a good day at this point

plastic window yellows over time

I want more pictures of the back to see if the finish panel is damaged, they’re known to be infamously fragile and costly to replace

Auto is ew, very jerky with shifts, manual swap is pointless in terms of money unless you have a donor car
