At the same time, you are calling the car fragile because you have a vibration from your brakes and got into an accident? If you want attention, just post as a girl and you will get the same thing.
MX-5 Miata had a pretty good run, they did what 23 years? Their VIN starts with a J....

Actually I think the car held up DAMN WELL! in the accident I was in, and am proud of how well it was engineered. My issue is with the quality of the material used regarding "hard parts" like brake rotors, windshields, body panels, etc.
It reeks of "cheap" but the price-tag doesn't reflect it. There are all kinds of steels that can be used for things, I refuse to believe that Nissan is using a quality alloy for a brake rotor. I realize it is cast iron, but it warps like pot metal.
Miata is a damn solid car, but it's not in the same league as the Z, although I have considered one. The doors...oh god...those doors...those doors are the reason you see cops on TV using car-doors as cover from rifle fire.
