Our Mazda Miata (which we named Casper because it's white and cute with a roundish build) is a great little car. We've had it 26 years and it's still going strong. We've been told the engine was only intended to last 100,000 miles, but we're at over 160,000 miles with no signs of the engine quitting anytime soon. The car handles well and has ample power, although sometimes a little sluggish in the mountains. Gas mileage is good despite its age. The biggest issue we've had with it is the rear window. We've got a convertible, and we've replaced the rear window a few times over the years.

The Mazda Miata is a simple car, both in aesthetics and in options. Although its a bit underpowered in the engine department, it's light weight balances the performance, making for a car that accelerates easy. In terms of vehicle dynamics, It is a very balanced car, and it feels like a go-kart.

Best car I've ever owned, has no problems and runs great. I would recommend to anyone.
