What A Great Ride
By TECMN on 2/18/2024 12:28:26 AM
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.
