Find the right roadster.
Monday, April 25th, 2011
Who doesn’t love a good ol’ two seated sports car? Stylish, agile and quick – these are just a few of the things that come to mind. Fun, easy to park and convenient are a few others. America has always had a romanticized view of what a car should be, and a great roadster seems to almost fit the bill perfectly. Most Americans would probably like to own an awesome car with awesome looks. Another great thing about these light cars is they don’t burn a ton of gas.
With the environment in the state that it is in and gas prices where they are it seems we should all be looking to drive hybrids or electric cars. The problem with many electric cars is they don’t go very far, except for Tesla motors roadster, and recharging has to be done at one’s dedicated recharge station. Ideally we would all be driving Tesla Roadsters, and we would also have an unlimited source of wealth and never worry about money or the environment ever again. Tesla does make some pretty incredible electric cars and if you are in a situation where money is not an issue then you owe it to the air the rest of us are breathing to go and check one out.
Sadly this is not the case. Thankfully, however, Mazda came up with the solution many years ago. The Mazda MX 5 appeared in dealerships towards the end of the 1980s and has been a popular alternative to the ultra pricey and luxurious roadsters of Europe without sacrificing the characteristic thrills of driving one or owning one. While you don’t get a ton of car for the money, every ounce of the MX 5 is soaked in Mazda’s rich racing history. If you still are not feeling the price then maybe check out a Bradenton used car lot. You may be surprised at the number of Miatas that are only a few years old whose previous owners absorbed a good deal of the initial depreciation without running up the miles – making your Mazda cost a lot less than if you were to go and buy a new one.
As Independent As They Come!
