I daily drove my Miata for 4 years. Mostly because I wanted a Miata and could only afford 1 car.
Sure I'd get another roadster but probably not for a commuter car.

everything you listed, yes. also, newer as in less aged. beyond that, the suspension is leaps and bounds ahead. i'll find the video of the 2 tracked side by side by pro drivers....the difference is pretty impressive.

I daily drive mine 100 miles a day...takes it like a champ. Could another car be more comfortable and suitable to commuting? Sure...but I wouldn't have it any other way. I like the stiff suspension too and just the overall way it drives. I like to have fun when I drive, and I do every time. The only thing that sucks is sitting in rush hour SF traffic.

The best overview I can give on the video was that the AP1 was more apt to kick out early and require correction than the AP2 and it kept adding time on each turn.

Hm....I guess you guys made it a valid point being a 2 seater (which I don't really care) and a convertible. I kinda overlooked that fact considering it's the DD. Especially in winter mode and all. The reason I gave those a look is because of the price & performance I can get for a car like that. But being a DD, I begin to think that it won't be feasible after all.
I'm still on the market for one. I will go test drive the Genesis Coupe this weekend as well as this one and see. Who knows, if the price is too good to pass up, I might snatch it and deal with it. It'll be garage kept, so I'm not too worried about the "wear & tear" on it much.
