Finished in striking Classic Red with a sleek Black cloth interior, this two-door convertible offers an authentic connection to the road that modern vehicles rarely replicate. For driving enthusiasts in Houma seeking raw agility and refined performance, this classic sports car delivers an exhilarating rear-wheel-drive feel paired with classic styling. Whether you are searching through our selection of pre-owned sports cars or looking for a weekend cruiser, this vehicle stands out as a timeless engineering achievement. Take a closer look at our featured pre-owned lineup to see how this roadster brings pure driving pleasure back to your daily routine.

    Dynamic Performance & Engineering

    At the heart of this 2002 Mazda MX-5 Miata is a responsive 1.8L I-4 DOHC engine equipped with variable valve control, generating 142HP on premium unleaded fuel. Power is sent directly to the rear wheels through an efficient 4-speed automatic transmission with electronic control and overdrive, offering seamless shifts while preserving classic sports car dynamics. Engineering highlights include an iron engine block with an aluminum cylinder head, a longitudinal front-mounted engine layout, and an engine oil cooler for optimized thermal management. The chassis utilizes a double wishbone front suspension and a double wishbone rear suspension paired with gas-pressurized shock absorbers and front and rear anti-roll bars. Responsive rack-and-pinion steering combined with standard 4-wheel disc brakes featuring ventilated front discs provides crisp handling and composed stopping capability. This efficient package earns an EPA-estimated 22 MPG city and 28 MPG highway.

    Interior Comfort & Cockpit Amenities

    Inside, the driver-centric cabin features Black cloth front bucket seats with 4-way manual adjustments, ensuring a supportive position during tight maneuvers. Drivers will appreciate the tactile feed from the NARDI leather steering wheel and full floor console layout with locking storage. Analog instrumentation provides clear readouts for speed, engine revs via the tachometer, engine coolant temperature, and oil pressure alongside a digital clock. Open-air freedom is simple with the manual retractable soft top, which includes a fixed glass rear window with an integrated rear window defroster. Cabin comfort during top-down drives is enhanced by a factory fixed convertible windblocker that significantly mitigates air turbulence. Standard amenities include an in-dash AM/FM stereo with a single-disc CD player, power antenna, power first-row windows with driver one-touch down capability, power door mirrors, and a locking glove box.

    • What A Great Ride

      We're the original owners of our 2001 Miata LS and my wife and I still find it incredibly fun to drive around in, even after 23 years. It's our "extra" car so not a daily driver and spends bad weather days and the winter season parked in the garage, so it still looks and drives like new. Its incredibly fun for day trips on scenic roads which are plentiful in our area. We have taken some longer (2000-3000 mile) multi-week trips with it and it's OK for that after I changed change the tires to Continentals, which are MUCH quieter and softer riding than the OEM tires. This made a huge difference in ride and noise comfort at the expense of a minor loss in handling. The car has been super-reliable, but I had my first problem in 2023 when a glitch developed with the anti-theft engine immobilizer system causing sproadic starting issues (key not recognized). It's a well-known problem and simple to fix IF you can find the necessary parts, which are increasingly hard to find for a car of this vintage. The part I needed is no longer made and the local Mazda dealer was of no help. Fortunately, I was able to find the part I needed from a seller in Taiwan and found a US company (SOS Diagnostics in Canby, OR) that was able to program it to work with the chip keys and PCM in my car. We are back in business again and this should be a permanent fix. We love the car and I'm pretty sure we'll keep it until we are too old to drive it anymore, after which it will be passed on to one of my lucky kids/grandkids.
