I love Miatas too.  I just wish they made them in my size.

"'Scuse me sir"
"Yes?"
"These Miatas come in a Tall?"

but the Miata wins for seat of the pants fun and the grin factor - this is
according to Motor Trend. I've never driven an MR2 or MR2T or MRS, but know
from autocrossing in my region that the MR2 Turbo is/was a very fast, very
competent A-Stock car and costs a lot less money than other AS cars. (Maybe
it's just Paul Brown's driving - glad he doesn't drive a Miata!)
