RWD, Good motor, great chassis, cheap, 2 seats, reliable, good gas milage, whats not to like

oh yeah throw in some models came with factory limited slip, and the 1.6 and 1.8 liter motors up till the 99 model year can handle 15psi boost from the factory (the motor is based on the one found in the turbo 323 GTX) not to mention the mazda speed ones, and the fact they have Spec Miata

its quite possibly one of the most influential cars ever made (look at the market segement it revitalized)

i think this car is cool, any one who disagrees obviously has not driven one with anger, or on a fun road, cause you quiclkly forget the "girly" image and realize its a corner carver with every intention on providing a wonderful driving experience.

i can never say enough about miatas (obvious reasons lol)

but if you are new to performance cars, or racing..there isnt a much better beginner car than a miata...and considering the reliability, pretty much bulletproof motor, and low cost of ownership, great gas milage, everyone shoul have one
