I bought a new Miata a short time ago wanting a fun DD... i found myself still wanting more power. It just seems underpowered to me. Fun? Yes. But it gets boring real fast without much of an aggressive sounding motor/exhuast in a stock package in my opinion. I returned the car 3 months after purchase. Also, i'm 6'4" and comfort was a MAJOR issue in the Miata. I replaced it with a Mazdaspeed 3 which was still fun, but had the additional power I needed and could also kart the kids around and was easily tunable. You might want to consider a good used copy of a Mazdaspeed 3 as well.
With that said, I've been driving the M2C over the last couple weeks and would say manual on an MC2 is a breeze compared to other manual cars like the Mazdaspeed 3 or any other manual car I've owned (Toyota MR2 Turbo, Civics, Nissans etc). If I had to choose TODAY which to pick, MC2 all the way over a Miata.
