Is the miata really the best bang for buck convertible roadster? What other options do I have in the <7k price range?

I thought I would include them anyway, Prices are variable depending on area and I don't know where OP is looking

They were good when they were cheap but now the price went fuck crazy. I got my runner for 1800

Large sedan and a sawzall

Is this the miata general in disguise?
Check muh miats

NEWFAG ALERT:
>wants roadster
>has penis
pick one

if you want a car thats fast and open top, graduate with the rest of the men to a cabriolet. 4-seat convertibles have big engines and are cheap.

i just got mine for 1k USD

>4 seat convertible
>men
Good one.

>having 2 more seats makes you more of a man

It's what happens when the boomers get ahold of something.

Wish i had bought one instead of a miata.
Sold the miata after a year and a half because it was so uncomfortable.

>or e36 if you want rwd

Implying that an integra hype R isn't one of the most overpriced meme cars out there that you can park in public without the constant fear of it being stolen.

Were you born stupid or did you just wake up stupid today?

you're not finding a ITR for $7k unless its a shell or a replica, dumbass

a zzw30 is even more uncomfortable, lol.

z3s suck

its pretty much a e30 roadster with the drivetrain out of a e36/e46

>a zzw30 is even more uncomfortable, lol.
Not the one i drove. It just felt better

Insurance is cheaper. Car is cheaper, faster than a Miata. Luxury car.... You tell me who the man is.

>boomers
>not being the sole audience for a japanese revival of 1960s british sports cars since 1989 and people were paying over MSRP on waiting lists for 1990 miatas

i'll go with you're the one who was born stupid

why don't ZZW30's have roll hoops?

that's terrifying.

it's definitely the best for under 5k unless you get extremely lucky.
main problem is no cargo space in the mr-s. only reason i'm reluctant to get one

It probably has to do with a strong windscreen frame. If the windscreen is reinforced and tall enough to keep a 6'5" man from dying, why install a $4,000 60-70 lbs roll bar?

Not to mention it has a low center of gravity: if you roll it, the impact to make it roll killed you.

The xk8 also has no roll "hoops" and it tops out at 156mph

Jags are an electrical nightmare. Especially with that CATS system. And it's not even close to the reliability of a MX-5 or MR2.

That's where the manliness comes in, you take off your shirt, remove your Miata decaled tampon, and you fix whatever might go wrong.

Just get a fucking miata

>foxbody
>roadster

I have a penis but I wish that I had a vagina, but I own a Miata so it's cool.

I haven't tried the first gen, but I own the NB facelift and it's a very fun car. I don't find the body as stiff as I want it to be, and considering that the first gen is not as stiff I would probably not get one. Also it's only the NB facelift that comes with everything that you want: Torsen LSD, 6 speed transmission and a more powerful engine. People are very impressed by the handling and a friend of mine laughed over the fact that the car looks so nice and cute from the outside but is so brutal on the inside.

the newer xk did have, im sure its down to safety laws back then.

Main problem is snap oversteer.

based

i have a 1997 so i was referring to the x100 models but yeah the laws probaly had much to do with the lack of hoops

I think it's illegal to install a roll-bar on a car here in Sweden. They want me to get decapitated.
