On the flipside, you'd have to do something really stupid to get the miata out of shape...I agree, it's a great training wheels type sports car for beginners. Become any more advanced and it's limiting and boring.
But then, I like cars that demand respect from their drivers. Ones that would bite if you messed up.
The Miata is TOO forgiving and safe.
