The quality of this little car is amazing. Its true to what it is, a sports car. One of the best selling models in the world, if I'm not mistaken. The styling is wonderful in the early years (NA for those in the know). It may be powered by a lacking power plant (mine houses a 1.6L DOHC I4 that makes a bit less than 100 hp.) The lack of power is sort of what makes this car so much fun though. When you drive a Miata, you can push it pretty hard without being too far out of what is legal. The suspension is extremely responsive. Due to its small size the suspension travel is low, so on bumpy roads it feels bumpy. With the convertible top on the NA, you can put it up/down in the blink of an eye without much effort. This allows you to use the most of its convertible-ness. When you see its about to rain, simply stop for 10 seconds and you are off again with the top up. The biggest thing about the Miata, is how it feels to drive it. The steering wheel is where it should be, and the gear shift is perfect. I cant say enough good things about this car. If you ever have a chance to drive one, your life will be changed.
