I've driven one miata in my lifetime.... it was a 302 swap... so it's handling characteristics were a tab bit skewed from what i would assume from a normal miata.
it wont satisfy, but it will scratch the itch i should say. Its not as powerful or as balanced IMO, but its a capable car.

Also depends what gen vs what gen. Old miata vs AP1?

Honestly i looked for a miata for awhile, unless you went post 95 there were all piles of junk.

Not terrible
Mazda Miata MX5 97

Compared to this

Whats that $1500 difference in price and you get RWD but no VTEC. 2-3 years newer too. less miles.

Kinda a no brainer IMO. I was looking for a $2000 car and the DEL SOL for $2000 i got was in MUCH BETTER shape than the miatas I was finding.

You have to spend upwards of $3500 to get a NICE miata, or Civic for that matter.
