  1. Stock is FINE, though I have gotten to the point I like tasteful customization.

  2. I have a ‘97 M-edition, and I love her! She had 40K on her clock 3 years ago, now 55K, and I don’t drive her in winter! She is, of course, everything I really want in a car. I remember when I got my first, a black ’94 with roll-up windows (drove her 120K miles), 22 years ago now. I was in heaven for a solid 6 mos., and have been elevated ever since! I had her 11 years, then I went 8 years without one, before I got the ‘97. I don’t intend to be without a Miata/MX-5 ever again! I have, BTW, driven the Million Dollar Highway (which I think you’re on here) as well as the California Coast Highway (and quite a few others!) in one Miata or the other!

  3. Quite a few major automotive magazines have declared that Miatas are the best handling production cars in the world. That is probably still true!

  4. I like the ones with the Trilliums..

  5.  @way2hi980 THAT is an NA, and I got mine, a ‘97 in mint condition (or at least it was until I got ahold of it), and it was half the cost of all but the cheapest new cars on the market. It’s what I drive in the summer!

  6. Never had any other kind, and I’ve had 2, both NAs, the first for 11 years, and recently another for 3 more. Miatas are just about perfect as they are. They could use more motor, but even that is fine. I LIKE rowing gears. By stock I mean I have not modified the motor in any way. My first did eventually get new Katskins, extra-plush carpets and a new Robbins top with heated glass, but I considered those to be maintenance! Both had and have new Koni Sport adjustables. Otherwise they were/are completely stock.

  7. What’s incredible, it seems to me, is that radios still have AM!
