Dolts with a narrow mind set wouldn't expect much from a sports car under 60 or 70k, but there are a select few vehicles that broaden that mind set and realign the thought process behind the judgment of certain vehicles. These nifty little vehicles include, but are not limited to, the Porsche Boxster and Cayman; whatever generation you see fit to include in this argument, various BMW and Audi models; such as the Z4 or TT, and the long line of Miatas almost forcibly not forsaken by any car critic.

The incredibly nimble roadster is beautifully redesigned almost representing a higher class super car. The body style in relation to lets say a lotus, which is another vehicle worth acknowledging, has an outstanding and pretty overview with a simple and positively mediocre interior. The hard top convertible is worth noting. The cloth-less cabriolet reminds me of a Ferrari. The whole look is increased in character with the sporty speed humps (or whatever you want to call them) along the back of the car. And like always I pay close attention to the newer LED headlights and taillights that on the Miata are well shaped and sharp giving the car a meaner and devilish look.

The cabin seemed to be designed for smaller individuals. Trying to squeeze in and out of the car is a hassle. Sitting in the driver's seat, you can only feel compressed due to the tightness of the cabin; not encouraged for people affected by claustrophobia. Similar to a BMW 428i the shifter shakes or while idle. I don't favor the vibrations in the surprisingly small shift knob, accelerating occasionally feels as if you're about to stall.
But once you near a turn, the joy starts to rumble in your stomach. The driver can't help but feel eager and excited right before and during a curve in the road. I really feel that is why the car was made; handling well and agile on a turn is the Miata's intended purpose.
