Poll
If light weight, 50/50 weight distribution, slick 5 or 6 speed transmission, great handling and fell, easy to work on and modify and reliable as hell is gay or feminine then so be it.
I don't see how the miata is looked on like that but the S2000, Z3 and others are cool.
Question: NA, NB or new NC?

For cheap fun I like them all. I like the 90-93 1.6 the most because they weigh less and are the most simplistic version made.

They're all great, but I went NC, just for the keyless ignition thing. That's pretty cool.

Can I pick "None"? I have never liked the Miata. The styling is extremely bland and the type of performance it offers does nothing for me. Besides, I don't fit.

For a fun car to modify, definitely the NA. For a car I'd use every day, NC. The NA just looks so completely unassuming, plus it has that nice little engine block from the 323 turbo just waiting to be put back together properly :lol:

NA w/turbo, please. Lightest and most pure of all of them. Too bad that some people need big sticks to get them off, and can't understand the appeal of a lightweight pure sports car.
And if it's a chick car then so is every pure sports car for the last 6 decades. :rolleyes:

Quote from: HEMI666 on May 07, 2007, 08:15:47 AMSure you can. Not every car is for every person. I don't like all kinds of cars. Muscle cars are a good example of cars I don't "get."
Can I pick "None"?? I have never liked the Miata.? The styling is extremely bland and the type of performance it offers does nothing for me.? Besides, I don't fit.

Quote from: ChrisV on May 07, 2007, 09:26:16 AMI agree but as MX-5 fan I learned to accept the "chick" and "gay" car comments. The only thing cute I see about the car is the front bumper kind of looks like a smiley face.

NC for me. Sadly, on looks alone :huh:. The older ones just don't appeal to me, aesthetically.
