I have no problem with affordable performance.

My only gripe with the genny was build quality and design. Also, it was hard to locate one with a manual tranny and the 6-banger in my area.
miata handling ftw... great car to get for an 18 year old as a first car.

i just don't think sports cars are meant to be cheap.

lol i haven't been around for a while? okay i will always admit where a car excels but I would never drive a miata, its so small and looks so meh. Anyone older than 30 driving that car is in some hard case of mid life crisis. Hey I can't have a personal opinion, or am I automatically wrong if you don't agree?

Edit: BTW just to see if I'm the only one with this opinion, I did a quick google and found a TON of results... here's one for example: http://vlane.com/review/8300/1997-ma...ung-enthusiast

That's fair enough. We can differ on this opinion. Apparently, we both agree on one car in particular

In my opinion, affordable performance is sublime. I like to see young guys driving GC's, MS3's, Miatas, base Mustangs and Camaros. It gives me hope that car enthusiasts are driving fast and having fun. That said, I think there's also definitely a place for your Porsches, Vettes, and GTR's at the top of that range, and then all the ridiculous "I hit the lottery" supercars for us to daydream about above them. I love fast cars in general, from hot hatches to roadsters to out-and-out race cars. I think they all have their place.

Funny you should say that, I've always seen the Z has a cheaper alternative to the other sports cars out there (Porsche Cayman, BMW Z4, M3, etc.)

The Z, to this day, is still the "cheapest" true sport car (2 seater, RWD, 300hp+) you can get for the money.

Perspective makes wonder.
