A true sports car at economic price.

2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata Special Edition 2dr Convertible (2.0L 4cyl 6A)
An exciting car to drive, despite the lack of horsepower.
Has the advantage but also disadvantages of a convertible.
Advantage: top down+summer afternoons = heaven on earth.
Disadvantage: More moving parts/joints = more creaks, leaks, and breaks, sub-par sound insulation, increased cost and weight with decreased rigidity.
Supposedly has a manual shifter from heaven, but I live in a city … with traffic from hell (LA) so opted for the auto, which I've learned to love, especially with the paddle shifter and engine braking capability.
Compactness of the car has taught me to make do with less.
THE BEST SPORTS ROADSTER EVER

2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata Special Edition 2dr Convertible (2.0L 4cyl 6A)
Drove an M3, 911, GTI, AUDI TT. There is no comparison to a MX-5. The 2011 Prut is the best. It is not as fast. But, on a quarter mile against a 911 ! It just was behind 5 seconds. I mean for the price, it is unbeatable. No questions ask. Cheap to maintain and reliable than most.
