Exciting Lilipution
I'm a 72-year-old and drove this with my wife from MA to SC for an 11-day trip and fit everything we needed into it. I put a hitch on for my bike and/or a platform to increase luggage capacity but didn't need for aforementioned trip. Top-down works fine from 50 to 90 degrees even with indoor clothing with heat on and seat heaters for lower temps. I can't help but smile with top down and highway driving is a sensory experience. At 50 mph, this car feels like a normal car going 70, but handles very well at any speed I've had (around 85 mph tops). The car requires more attention, when driving than say our Forester, but is not tiring. I've driven it 450 miles in a day without problem. I'm 5'8" and have no trouble getting comfortable, despite limited seat adjustments. The car is fairly narrow but requires more space widthwise than our Forester because we need a wide door opening to get in or out. The doors are long and I can't clear my leg without a fairly wide door opening. Sometimes, in a narrow space, I have to move the seat back the inch or so additional I have, so I can get out without dooring the car next to me. IMHO the MX-5 can be fine as the only car for a single person, particularly with a hitch and platform to augment storage, if that person is willing to rent a car the few times a year he/she needs a larger one.

1st Miata, no regrets
Bought a '24 red Sport a couple months ago and it's been a true joy to drive. I think the Sport is the trim to get. It rides nicer than the club (my original choice) and for street driving, the shocks and LSD are not needed or even noticed. The Sport handles awesome and the 16in wheels provide a better ride and are lighter. And you basically get a brand new convertible for $30K that's super fun to drive. The shifter is sublime and the car loves to rev. Power is good! The 2 second top up/down is amazing as well. No waiting for a motor to do it, less weight, no potential expensive fixes. Only negatives: seats while good, could be a little plusher, storage inside is limited, yes you sit very low so ingress/egress is what it is. If you're considering one of these, buy one! You won't regret it.

Such a fun car!
The car looks cool. The car is quick and fun to drive. What's better than a convertible on a nice day? It's not an everyday car - it rides like a sports car because it is a sports car! Comfortable seats, clean looking displays, everything you want. Now, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles (would be nice for the screen to be a split screen, a heads up display option would be great...) but at this price for the car you get - I highly recommend it as a second, weekend fun car. Definitely get a manual!!
