I drive a Miata, and I have no complaint with it. Not only that, it's over ten years old now and the only major repair done was a clutch replacement, and then only because 4 people have learned standered on it. Clearly, after over a decade of production, Mazada must be doing something right with the Miata. It's not fast, its not big, and it's not noisey, but it is cheap to buy and own. They hold their own on the track against v8's and are fearless on twisty back roads. Add on the huge 'fun to drive' factor every Miata driver will atest to, and you have a cute, fun little car with a fantastic record. Chalk me up as one very happy Mazda customer.
So, don't nock a car you've never had a real chance to drive, espically when everyone you know with a mazada is probably 4 people, hardly a reasonable sample. I've heard American cars are big heavy beasts with terrible matinence, but I've never driven an American car in earnest, so what do I know?
Opinions are fine, but just take a moment to think about what your basing it on. Mazada, as nearly all Japenese cars are these days, are excellent, affordable cars. If they wern't, why would there be so many of them on the road?

p.s. Im no short fry, and getting out of a Miata has never been a problem. If you're over 6 feet tall, yes, a Miata will be uncomfey, but then again, so will any sports car.
P.P.S. If I had the choice of another car, I would go with a WRX. The Miatas fun, but not so much in the snow... Anyone driven one of them new Z's? they look fun...
