1990-1993 Miatas have the 1.6. In 1994 it was bumped up to a 1.8.

I like the fact that I can scream around at the upper reaches of the tach, driving like a Banshee, without causing problems or generating too much attention.

Can't do that in a 400 hp Corvette, or even in a forced-induction Miata without commiting a felony.

At 2400 pounds, double wishbone suspension all the way around, and 50/50 weight distribution, the 1.6 is just fine by me.
