Great handling vehicle which is very cheap to own and drive -- a really fun "drivers" car. People over six-feet tall probably won't like the cramped quarters of this vehicle, but you can only get so much into a vehicle of this size. I love this car, and I will buy another Miata when this car has passed the graveyard of costs too much to upkeep versus fun to drive milestone. I have met a lot of people who drive Miata's and used to drive Miata's, and all of them tell me -- don't get rid of that car -- and they're right.

Sporty and compact
The 1995 Mazda MX-5, better known as the Miata is one of the best handling compact cars ever made. It has been in production for over 20 years and while the body style and specs have changed slightly, it still offers razors-edge handling, good looks and excellent fuel economy. Older models can be found on the used car market for pennies on the dollar and can be restored to almost new condition relatively inexpensively. If you are looking for a great handling car, the MX5 is a winner.

Fun and affordable convertible
This is a fun car at an affordable price. While other convertibles can run pretty expensive, this one is mostly pretty cheap, and the upkeep is on par with other vehicles.
