Yeah Mike, I'm with you. What's not to like about a
Miata? Great lines, probably the best gearbox I've
driven (given my experience is limited, but still...),
wind in your hair, enough power, (certainly as much as
my R-16), dependable & affordable, and wow, how easy
the top goes up & down! It is not a Datsun Roadster,
but I don't get the Miata bashing. They're great
little cars, even if some are driven by pricks and
people who have no clue about how an internal
combustion engine works.
Wish I had a Miata for everyday driving.
