Turbo'd Miata? :D It fixes one of the big issues with a Miata.

^^ If I did go with a Miata, it would definitely get a turbo. I also agree with the whole 300zx > 350z deal, but I'm trying to get out of driving an old ass car every day.

A turbo miata is going to run into just as many problems as a modded 300zx...

or just get the mazdaspeed miata that is factory turbo'd and upgrade it.

Actually, a friend of mine has a pretty nice little silver turbo Miata. It's an earlier 90's one, it has a Greddy turbo kit. Even one of those neat carbon fiber headlight covers with an air scoop. The car is located in New Brighton. I can have him PM you if you want, or PM me for more info. It would be a lot cheaper than the cars you're looking at haha!

Why not spend $5000 on a daily driver and $15-$20k on a summer car?

If I were looking for an all around car, I would go with a G35 or a BMW. IMO a G35 looks better than a 350Z. Neither are really fast cars but have some class and enough to get you around.

If I were looking for a summer car, Vette, Viper, Lotus, or NSX. Something fun which you don't see too much.

If I decide on a Miata, that will be the way I will go

The reason I'm looking at these as a daily car, is that I will be keeping my DSM for a summer fun car.

Mazdaspeed Miatas are really fun! Although too small for me to consider owning, that was the most fun car I've ever driven.

I crossed this bridge just under 2 years ago. I ended up opting for an evo as year-round fun car! I haven't looked back since. :)
