Mazda Miata - Yes or No?

I need the help of my readership. Please vote yes or no to the question : Should I buy a 12 year old Mazda Miata, with low kilometers and in excellent condition?

I don't need the car. But I want it. It will inject some energy in my otherwise tedious commute to work.
It will prolong or - in the very least - enhance the short Canadian summer experience.

...and yes it is indicative of a midlife crises.
...and no, it is not because Sheila Copps had a
red convertible.


I will base my decision (in part) on the results of the poll.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Tobias.

Get the car already!

As long as it doesn't over-extend your finances, then I'd say get it. You'll enjoy it, at least at first, and then if you later decide it wasn't necessary you can always sell it.

LOL
I agree with Alex. You want it so do it.

Run, don't walk, and get the car. You will appreciate it on a hot sunny day or even a cool day cruising with the top down.

Arnone I owned that same 25th anniversary model for three years. Fun car to drive, rear wheel drive, trunk holds two sets of golf clubs, burgundy leather interior is like butter, and the stereo in the head rests and woofer on your back is wonderful. I miss my Miata. Go for it!

And Sheila's is (was? does she still have it?) blue.

It's almost unanimous. I've wanted one of those cars ever since they came out. Married and with kid now, so there's no room (and its not practical I keep telling myself)... Between a miata and a suzuki sidekick (4cyl - i had one and it was just amazing and respectable on gas), those would be my choices.
Enjoy it!

It's only money, right? Go ahead and make your move...the kids can walk. As for the looner-in-lotusland's he/she must have meant 2 golf balls, not bags. I know, I have a '94 and that's one tiny cavity. Just think, you would get preferential parking at Oakville Assembly Complex as Mazda is part of the Ford family.
