I've owned 3 miatas (94,2001,2004 Mazdaspeed). Of the 3, I liked the 94 the best. I grew up a fan of British roadsters and Alfa Romeos (I still have an MGB, a Spitfire and a Jensen-Healey). I think my 2006 Boxster S is more like the British and Italian cars, and that is one reason I like it a lot more than any of the Miatas. Even though Mazda tried to emulate an MG or something like that, I don't think they really got it - just my opinion. To me, the Boxster is a like a car that was designed by someone from 60's but with all the new technology used in just the right way.
