Reatta owner's age

anselmail · April 18th, 2006

I bought my first Reatta convertible last Summer and love it! Many mechanics stop me and say "Wow! It's a Reatta. I haven't seen one of these in years" and I get lots of praise.

But, to my question: what's the age and gender of most Reatta owners? I am male and 33 and I think I am in the minority. Guys what is your age?

49 for me, 20 for my son

I can assure there are several people on this forum that are over 60. Let me say I purchase my first one at age 53.

Twin nickles for me.

I was 32 when I acquired my Reatta after lusting for one for 14 years.

I am 38 as of last week, and after 5 years of pleasurable Reatta ownership and much more importantly the fellowship and support provided by this forum, I can say that I intend to have a Reatta always.

And I'll raise you a dime. But driving the R takes some years off the mental age.

55-year-old male. I bought my 1991 coupe in April 19, 1997. Background: I followed development of the Reatta since the first "spy" shots in 1981. The Reatta replaced my 1990 Miata (AFAIK, the first Miata ordered in Oklahoma --- delivered a deposit to the local Mazda dealer in late January 1989). Prior to that I owned a 1972 Volvo 1800ES that I purchased in 1977. It was my daily driver for 10 years and 250,000 miles. Have owned/driven several other "interesting" cars over the past 40 years. The Reatta is my favorite.

I'm 21 and male, I've had my Reatta since I was 16 or 17...it was my daily driver in high school whenever my GTO was laid up or it was winter. I don't drive the Reatta much/at all anymore as it's got about 131k miles on it and mom and dad didn't want me driving it from ME to NY for school. It's plenty reliable (did have to replace the ECM this past year though), but I've got an '03 SRT-4 that's my daily driver now. I do love the Reatta though, it is one of the nicest driving cars I've ever driven!!!
