Welcome. I was new to the site and to these cars about 2 months ago and totally in love with this hobby. It is now become a major passion and I cant get enough. The people on here will direct you in anyway and are fantastic for that.
I used to own two miatas, one was a garage queen as when I bought it back in 2000, it was 10 years old and only had 21000 miles on it. Loved that car, but will tell you there is absolutely no comparison. Even your smile on you face while driving will be bigger in the speedster. It is simple, it is somewhat noisy - depending on engine and exhaust, and they are absolutely a blast to drive. You will feel like the car is worth a million when people are gawking over it. It is fun to bring that part of owning one of these to the table. You just dont see a ton of them around and people are intrigued by these toys. I am in heaven and ready to buy number 2 already...
