It was so close that one of the most iconic sports car never was made. People with vision, push past the nay sayers and created a gem. What impresses me is that Mazda has kept the original vision of the Mazda the same and refuse to bend to public sway. In doing so, they have created the best selling LWS, light weight sports car of all time. To me, this just shows you do not need to chase and change the original vision of the design. You can enhance.

I always loved the Miata. I was prepared to buy one back in 2020, but they didn’t have any available for me to test drive.

You see, the 911 has a frunk which is great for my push cart and back seats for my clubs. Even beyond golf, the four seats are  needed for driving both of my kids around. It’s a utility vehicle 😃

You should check out the podcast Everyday Driver. There is one big 911 fan. Every Tuesday they do Q&A from write-ins. A lot of car recommendations. The 911 pops up a lot 😉

My wife has had two Miatas, a 1997 and  2007. Both are a blast to drive. The ‘97 was great on backroads and around town. It had an excellent first three gears and handled great. On the highway it always seemed to want one more gear as it was a 5 speed.

The 2006 doesn’t have that great a 1st gear, so off the line acceleration is not as good, but it has the 6th gear. It does handle like a dream though.

It is not a golfer’s car BTW. The trunk is tiny.

That’s Paul, right? I used to watch a lot of their YouTube videos.

Yea that’s why in hindsight I’m happy I didn’t end up getting one. I think if I were to get a 2 seater now I’d have to go with a Boxster.

I had the use of a friend's silver Miata in the late 1990's.  Driving on the banked two-lane roads around Silverdale, Washington with the top down and the music blaring, was pure driving pleasure.😊
