Like all pure sports cars, the Miata is a recreational implement rather than a transportation device. Practicality doesn't apply here. There are many sports cars that deliver a lot more performance. But the new Miata is far from slow, and its agility measures up with the best for far less money.Like everything else in life, the Miata hasn't gotten any cheaper. Over its first decade, the base price has crept up from about $14,000. Nevertheless, considered as an automotive recreational value, it just doesn't get any better than the Miata. The good news is that the Miata is extremely reliable. Just check the oil and it'll run forever. Most people who sell their Miatas do so only because they need a bigger car.
