I've owned two NA cars. Both were phenomenal examples of what the Brits had hoped to attain years previously: a car that was simple yet a complete riot to drive - Yet, Mazda succeeded in making the car stone axe reliable.
The engine and gearbox were fantastic and the thing was a go kart with a license plate.
The trunk was a joke, especially when a spare was in it. Manual top was a plus.
Not fair to compare it with a boxster of similar age if you factor in price and upkeep.
