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.

Ferdi - You said the steering was vague, it's probably because of the age of the suspension rather than mileage. My suspension is the original with 94k miles and being 20 years old, of course parts are gonna be gone by then. You can get some KYB GR2's for less than $300 to fix that and get it back to factory handling. When everything is in good condition, the car handles like a dream even with factory spec parts.

Also, I'd like for a 94+ so you can get the 1.8L. And if you find one with slightly higher mileage but it's more clean, I would do that. These drivetrains are bulletproof and the motor is even moreso, condition trumps mileage every time.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.
