When it comes to bang-for-the-buck, a used MX5 is hard to beat. You get a real sportscar, by the old definition of the word, for a few thousand bucks. Sure, it's a bit underpowered, but it makes up for it in handling. The Miata is a tough & reliable car; drive it like you stole it and it never complains.
There are a few nice roads in Rockland County NY.
The road up to the top of Bear Mountain is a nice one.
The Miata can get 30mpg if you're real nice too it.
It knows how to play well with others.
It got completely buried in February of 2003.
Yeah, maybe we drive the Volvo today.
