A few quick things about Miata's, having had a NA and now a ND/RF.

1. If you have a tall torso, they can be a tight fit. (I think the ND is a bit tighter than the NA, at least on the RF). I'm 6' with a 37.5" torso and riding in a ND is..... unpleasant unless the top is down.

2. They can be INVISIBLE-- they're small, short and don't have a lot of mass. Semi's flat-out just don't see them. So, drive very, very defensively. My best friend got run off the road in one-- the other driver just didn't see her. She got a SUV shortly thereafter.

3. Overall, they're a flat-out hoot to drive. My wife's "fun sized" and her RDX is gathering dust as the RF has more or less become her primary car.
