Summary
The Mazda Miata isn't for everyone. The cockpit is small. Large people find it uncomfortable. Getting in and out is a chore. And the lack of trunk space can be irritating. But this is a reliable sports car that can become a way of life. Indeed, a Miata can help relieve stress in a hectic life. Put the top down on a sunny afternoon and minor worries are whisked away by the wind. That's something all of us can use.
