When the Miata was first introduced, I wanted one so bad I could taste it. Then, my more practical mind said I couldn't have one because it was not a good car for those wintry trips to work, 35 miles away. Three years after I retired, I finally decided to buy a new 1999 Miata to celebrate the 10th anniversary. It hurt my back; and, my wife didn't like them. I got a '95, instead. I had more fun with that little car. I hated the automatic; but, I got a heck of a deal on it because of that, I guess. I sold it in 2003 because I made a deal with my wife. She didn't want to let go of her '96 Mustang GT when I bought a nice '02 Mustang GT vert for her. We put the older Mustang and my Miata on the block. Mine went in a heartbeat. I was heart broken. It wasn't until 2006 that I bought a new one. I was in seventh heaven for a couple of years. It was traded in on a new Roush that we plan to show. Now, I'm back to that 1990 Miata that got this all started for me. Granted, it does have a bit more horsepower; but, it's still a 1990.
What a 20 year ride Mazda has had with this little car. I've had three and have loved every one of them. I must not be by myself because about every person who buys one, or does a review on one, likes it. Consumer Reports has flagged it as their choice since its inception. Now, we have one that has more styling, a hard top, etc that puts it in a best-bang-for-the-buck class than nobody else seems to be able to tangle with. When GM came out with the Sky and Solstice, I looked at both very hard before I bought my 2006 Miata. I have no regrets. The Miata was rock solid and problem free. The GM cars had many problems and weren't the least bit practical. Just putting the top down was a pain in the but with no trunk room left when it was down. It's hard to compete with something that works.
