Porsche or Mazda + Diamond?

The last time I owned a mazda miata was when I was in college. After college I drove Porsche. Now I'm back to the Mazda miata and I love it! Performance has improved tremendously. It is a super fun car to drive. A car with this type of handling for 30k is a value. I could have purchased a USED Porsche 911 for over 60k. Instead, I got this brand new cute fast little car plus a bigger diamond ring AND I never have to worry about maintenance issues all for under 60k. A smarter and more fun decision by far! My husband ended up getting a porsche so we would have one in the family. It is a better drive no doubt. But I am thrilled with my decision to go with Mazda.

An eight year old car with 20,000 miles. No repairs or quality issues at all. I was SO happy to finally wear out the poor Bridgestone OEM tires and replaced with Michelin Pilots, it was like a new car. The power hardtop looks very fine from the side. Wish I had more time to play in it.

My first Miata was 2006 Grand Touring with all the bells and whistles. At the time I was living in New Jersey and owned it for about a year and sold it to a friend of mine who bought it for his wife and love it! I now live in sunny Florida and just bought me a 2010 Mazda Miata Sport which I like better than my 2006. This has the cloth seats which I like better than the leather seats I had in my 2006. This 2010 was a one owner vehicle with only 17, 958 miles. This vehicle is practically new. I love and really enjoy my Miata 😎. I love the Miata so much that I bought a second Miata. I’m the proud owner of a 1997 Mazda Miata 😎.
