I have been thinking of replacing my old '90 Miata with one of the third generation.
Mine was an accident rebuild which was suffering from the not uncommon for first year Miatas Small Nose Crank problem. I bought it and had it on the road a week later. That was 25K miles ago.
Amazing fun for the money.
If you do get into the third generation(NC) MX5, the Achillies heel of these cars seems to be the cooling system pressure tank. They are plastic and have been known to let go as the plastic ages. There is an aluminium after market tank available which eliminates the problem.
Strangely enough, I don't recall anyone exhibiting anti Miata behaviour in the five years I have had it.
