agree Paul. The Miata is a great track car. I see bunches of them. In races. You hardly see them in HPDE anymore--at least in my areas. I wonder why? Mazda --wake upppppppp!! The MX5 can be built into a great little sports car. Unfortunately, now a days a lot of people want them already built. Now for a comfortable convertible rear wheel drive sports car--its perfect to cruise around town and roads when its cool enough to let the top down.

*flame suit on* - its a girls car really. its small and its a convertible. nuff said.

5'11 and can fit just fine in all the miatas... I don't need a living room with a 50" in tv for a car though.
This car fits 4, and is just a tad longer than a smart:

It's a case of the american market being spoiled, a spider inspired by the british convertibles of the 60\70s has to be small! if one wants a big convertible is free to buy a mercedes sl.

FYI, the Miata is, by far, the most popular track car in the world, and deservedly so. That won't be changing anytime soon.

Amen. Nobody has a problem fitting in a miata here. Unfortunately is not a popular track choice in europe so the last sentence is only valid for the states
