Default Your opinion on MAZDA MIATAS

I've driven one before and it was very fun to drive. Im ~6' 180 lbs and it didn't feel cramped like everybody says. the shifter was very very crisp and notchy and the car handled like no FF honda could ever do plus you can do some MaD TizziGhT StuNNa DRifTs Y0! (im kidding).

anyways...I've been seriously thinking about picking one up just for fun. I believe I can get a very early 90's one for around 2500 in my area. the 1990-1993's are SOHC but a 1994+ DOHC motor can be purchased fairly cheap if I decide to upgrade.

I feel like its just a faze or impluse buy right now. someone give some thoughts good or bad. I just feel like I need a sporty weekend car because my beater (see sig) isn't cutting it.

and dont tell me miatas are teh :ghey: because I can care less what other people think about me :fawk:

If you could tolerate the many "stereotypes" about that car, go right ahead.
