Looking to buy, first sports car experiences?

Affordability aside (you'll have to figure out if you can really afford the car or not) I would say the car is good, not perfect.

Power is plenty and fun, but not snap your neck back fast. Lots of fun on twisty roads and track, but not as flickable or as confidence inspiring as a Miata. The CSC will go, which costs a few hundred for parts, but you end up adding on the "might as well"s like the clutch and flywheel and you're in 3k USD. Tires do cost a fair amount given the width and kind of tire usually put on the car. MPG isn't great as above. NVH is not great. But Miata's are worse IMO. Can't say if it's worse than your car. I do have to turn the volume up at speed, but can def hear the radio easily at 80.
