I had a Miata through college. Lots of fun, cheap to maintain, and the women love it. Get a pre '93 with the 1.6L engine and save about 4 grand to get upgraded wheels and tires, upgraded exhaust, and a supercharger kit which will put you up into the 170hp range. Doesn't sound like a lot, but 170 hp really pulls in a rwd car this small.
It fits into small parking spots, has a turning radius small enough to do a u-turn in an alleyway, and is generally a really fun car to drive- with great reliability to boot.
Get one with the removeable hard top if you live in an area where you wont be putting the roof down in the winter.
Good luck
Brad
