Reliable, fun, and economical. The only thing they lack is practicality, being a two-seater with a small trunk. But if you don't have to worry about carrying kids or cargo, they're great cars!
Never drove a Miata, but I have a Nissan 350Z and the wife has been able to squeeze 4 adults (including herself) into it. I still can't imagine that someone willingly scrunched themselves into the hatchback under the strut brace. I guess when you're drunk and only have one safe way home, whatever works, works.
