Miata

My uncle owned a green NB and a red NC. Love 'em, but they're not the most practical cars (obviously).
Fun little cars. I have a friend that modified the living hell out his and turned it into a street-legal track car.
I wouldn't buy one as they're not my style, but I see the appeal. I'm into other Japanese cars and primarily German cars.

I don't think I would ever own a convertible myself but I'm glad these exist and that people like them. I'd like to see a real coupe version not just a hardtop, but then again that would just be similar to a slightly smaller 86?
I don't think I would fit in one, but I think they're cute and cool. I've owned several Mazdas (I just think they're neat) but never really considered a Miata.
I had NC2. It pretty much looked like the one in the picture. I learned how to drive stick shift in that thing and had a blast until I unfortunately totaled it.
I think I paid $5,600 for mine. They are fun cars but I would get BMW M3 if I still was driving.

I worked for a company that had a Miata (NA) as the company car; I got hooked. I now own my third Miata (ND soft top). I love driving with the top down, and it's extremely fun to drive. And get pretty good gas mileage (it's not a gas-wasting sports car, it's designed for fun and handling, not speed). Not practical in the slightest (and I lived in Seattle, well known for rain, when I bought my first), but I don't care :)
Drove a 92 Miata around for roughly 10 years. I'm not a small guy, 6'0" 220 lbs but I made it work. Great gas mileage, cheap to repair. Best of all was that it was just fun to drive.
I had an RX-8 until last year and the engine failed at 85k miles, had a lot of corrosion on the chassis as well
I own a 2019 which was the year it got a boost to 181hp which makes it almost perfect. It's a beautiful car and a lot of fun to drive. Out of the cars I've owned I'd place it as my second favorite after my 2000 Boxster, which sadly got rear ended and destroyed. That car was amazingly fun, and the Miata's a good substitute for it.
My first car that was really "mine" (ie, not a hand-me-down from my parents) was a VW GTI, which only came in a stick. My best friend had a first-gen Miata, and let me learn stick on it. Absolutely fantastic car, and you could switch gears with a single finger.
My wife ended up with a BRZ recently, and if the RF Miata had been available when we got it, it would have been a very tough choice. I think the RF's design is truly stunning.

I'd love to drive one. They seem like the most fun for a road car that isn't a Porsche (or something even more exotic).
i had both at one point...
miata with hardtop, snow tires, and sandbag in the trunk was my winter car lol. it was the best.
Got a 2013 with the power retractable hardtop as a daily driver that I geek about every so often. 12 seconds open/close roof that retracts into its own compartment? And it was a ~2-3K addition? Even cars 5 times as much didn't beat that.
Would get a newer one but not a fan of the RF.
Very impractical, but you can get them dirt cheap for weekend driving.

Haha no joke I keep my old clutch assembly in the trunk in a box😂😂
