[QUOTE="DrGoh, post: 117331, member: 220"] I had two Miatas while in Canada, a 91 (stolen), & a 94 (replacement from insurance). The miata is a fantastic car with very good handling. You must get the car in manual form as it has one of the best trasmissions around. The pedal positions are perfect for heel/toe as well. The car was very reliable mechanically-speaking. All I needed was oil-changes. However, if you need to travel at high speed, it is not your car, because it is not stable above 160km/h. I sold the car and got an RX7 eventually, but that's coz I was a speed-freak. Aside from instability at high speeds, the older models had plastic rear roof, which sucked majorly. Most would turn yellow by now, meaning that you can't see anything in the rear, especially when it rains. It is worth the money to get the car with an optional hard top. If a truck passes you in the rain, you'll probably end up with a few drops of water on your face, but that happened in my Toyota Supra Turbo, Porsche Carrera C2 convertible, as well as the F355 GTS. There are lots of mods you can do to the car too. I slapped on a Jackson Racing supercharger on mine, and it was great! There were lots of beautiful bodykits as well. Anyway, I have nothing but good things to say about the car. One caveat though, you have to be comfortable with the rear getting loose, especially in the wet (or using baldy rear tires). Otherwise, take it easy in the beginning, and it will reward you as you master the car. So, BUY BUY BUY !!! [/QUOTE]
