The MX-5...and you., Dig into your inner auto enthusiast. Options

So, as we are all Celica owners, we all have the same baseline perspective to build on. What do you as 6GCers think about the Mazda MX-5? Would you consider trading your Celica for an MX-5 (specifically the NB - 2nd gen), and if you did, what would you consider to be the pros and cons of trading to an MX-5?

Thanks for the input.

Sometimes you have to look at a bigger picture. Captain pessimist here has a few words sir. You are on limited income and a student. You are driving an aging car that may only fetch what you want in a private sale. Except that we are on verge of double dip recession so not that many people will want to pay what you think the car is worth. Likewise dealers hate to trade an old car on their lot for an older car because they will not make much profit on 10+ year cars.

So... you are looking to get an impractical but very very fun car. I dont know what to tell you sir because from my experience miata is a car that you take to the movies or grab your wife and drive to your friend's house. In a practical scheme of things storage space is quite limited in that little car.

If you can get the money or get a straight up trade you can try your luck but you will be back to tell us how much you miss a celica. Just ask richee.
