A couple of weeks ago I did one of these one model for everything posts with Porsche 911’s, so when I saw the “Safari-Style” Miata this week I knew what I had to do because the answer to the question of what kind of car should I get for “blank” is always a Miata.

Thirty-three years ago on this date our first Miata was picked up at the local Mazda dealer after an 108 day wait (story here.) Since then there has been a Miata in the garage, not the same one though. The 1990 NA was traded in for another NA in 1995. The 1995 was traded in 2003 for a new NB version. When the NC generation arrived in 2005 we test drove one and didn’t really like it, so the 2003 stayed. We considered getting a 2010 NC when the 2003 rolled past 100k, but still didn’t the like the NC. In 2015 when the ND generation arrived we test drove one of them and ended up with mixed feelings about. With the 2003 NB getting tired, a year later we lucked into a good deal on a 2002 NB, our current car, with 120k fewer miles and snapped it up.
