uh....toxik. i am not even gonna respond to your post because i honestly cannot grasp where to start. If you see miatas as a 18 yo's first car, then you are missing out brother. Miatas are one of the most respected tuner cars in the import scene. The revolution that it started, the potential it has, what people make it do, etc. Let's just say that without the Miata, the s2000 would not have been made and the z3 roadster probably won't have been made as well. I am willing to bet you that the percentage of Miata owners who make their "cheap" cars into track monsters engulf the percentage of Z owners who even take their cars to the track. The miata is a true enthusaist car and noone experienced in the field will deny that.

I still don't understand your gripe with my statement, why is a miata hard to drive? Everything I know about a miata says that it handles like a dream and is a perky little car. Why is it a bad first car to get if you are into sports car at a young age? Again like I said before I even googled exactly that and found ton of sites that posted similar discussion as a miata being a great first car to get. Please enlighten me, I'm not trying to be hostile at all... I'm just as much of a car enthusiast as the next guy.

I could be wrong, but I think that he's referring to the fact that it's not only a great first car, but there are more uses for older miatas as inexpensive track toys for later in life.

If you belittle Miatas than you are NOT a true enthusiast. I've had 3 (and 8 Porsches), and even a first year 116hp example is about as much fun as you can have on 2 wheels. Sounds like you're hung up on "image".....Car bigots are all over the internet and will love to validate your misconceptions...

What he said. He's into image and nothing more. "Sports cars shouldn't be cheap".
