I have a 29 year old Mazda miata (it's older than I am FYI) and it's been really great! I drive it year round in pretty harsh winters and I find it no less capable than the econobox I used to drive.

1989 Miata checking in. I drove it daily for 2 years. Now I have a newer car and I still pick to drive the Miata every time I’m alone or I’m not going to Home Depot (I’ve taken it to Costco though with great success).

I’m getting a bunch of turbo components tomorrow so that may change things.

The only things I’ve HAD to repair are... the top. $250 and 4hs later I have a new one on that’s been great. Everything else has been track oriented upgrades and tinkering out of boredom. It’s even running on an old Megasquirt ECU I put together as a teen, so it’s not even Japan reliable, and it’s still more reliable than many of my friend’s cars.
