Oh my GOSH what a nice, fun, quality vehicle! Smiles per mile baby. Miata is always the answer. Zoom Zoom! 10/10 full stop.

Fun car to drive. Good mpg, it isnt an every day driver and it does need premium fuel. The trunk is small but it would carry a few duffle bags for a long trip. The manual tranny is tight, fast shifting and a short throw. It was just what I was looking for and it is all I expected it to be.

The definitive entry level sports car. Would more power be nice? Sure. Is this car still more fun to drive than others with twice the horsepower? Absolutely.

The GT model has everything you need for touring. Heated seats, lane departure warning, navigation, self leveling LED headlights. It is my daily driver and I have no regrets getting a RF GT. I was between the MX-5 RF GT and the Toyota 86. 86 is definitely more practical when it comes to storage and cabin comfort. But it is nowhere as fun or good looking.
