Looking for a sports car bargain: $5K rebate on '08 Miatas! - Page 8

I'm not a big fan of Miata's BUT I know they are a decent little car and can be made to handle supurbly for not much $$.

When I say I'm not a big fan...I mean for me to drive...I'm not saying it's not a good reliable car at all.

Less than $20k for that car is a bargain period...nice purchase.

*edit* Just realized how "old" this thread is

and didn't read all of it. I still say what I just posted above BUT must also say...nice job with the upgrades...nicely done !!

I remember when they first came out. I hated the lil jelly beans (this is back in my teens when the only car you need to know had 5.0 on the side and was refered to by many as "notchback' or "LX")

Then I drove one.
then I drove another one and another.

I've enjoyed bare bones models with the "anemic" 1.6 as much as the newer 1.8's.
I'd rock an old Miata sooner than a new Mustang or Camaro.

I saw a Mallet LS2 Solstice last night, pretty nice, but reportedly weighs in at 2,900lb's.
