If I were 0% with $300 deductible collision/comprehensive, 3 mil third party, it'd be about $2400 a year.

i still think a 4x4, manual, toyota land cruiser 60 series would be an awesome fun choice.
winter is coming after all  
great project vehicle and a nice change from a sports car
probably faster than a miata too | |

So you tell me..... | whoever gave you that quote fucked something up. I used to own that same exact miata before I sold it to SWFK and I paid $1800 a year with that coverage with only 15% discount. with 43% you're looking at about $100 a month

Don't forget that 240 thieves are everywhere, ask dark0821 and jing about their 240s | |

Posted via RS Mobile | I've owned a turbo'd e21, a beautiful slammed old e28 and two e30's (318ic and 325i touring) and can say without a shadow of doubt that the miata was more of a drivers car than any of those. I by no means am sayin they are BAD vehicles because we obviously know that's not true. But if I had some spare change to drop on a fun weekend vehicle, it would be the miata over an e30 any day.

E30's will get many looks/waves from people in all sorts of cars, but is mostly older dudes or other earlier-model BMW drivers.
Miatas are far from a dime a dozen, especially clean NA's. I got plenty of waves, head nods, high-beams, and headlight raises from other Miata owners. Also got more compliments from women in my little red Miata than E30. Kids also seem to like it too.
Also, as 320icar mentioned, while the E30 is no slouch and far better than most cars out there, the Miata is still absolutely more fun to drive than an E30, all things equal in stock form.

Haha I am still around mostly on here, not so much over at BCB or WCB. It wasn't too long ago, sold the E30 around exactly a year ago. Also, I spotted you at The Pumphouse recently (notstalking)

MR2
Turbo Mk2s are decently fast
Turbo ones also go for 5-7g
NA Mk2s can go for $3000, but it's pretty much a mid engined Camy, unless you get the JDM ones with the 3SGE
Limited storage space
MK1s are lighter, handle really well
Hard to find a Mk1 that's not rusted or rusting, neglected
Parts are getting harder and harder to find
Average DIYers might hate the MR layout for wrenching
Miata
Light, drop top, peppy roadster
Falls right under $3000 price range
Rust is a common issue, especially on the rocker panels
Limited storage space, yet again
FR roadster, nuff sed
Shifter is directly bolted to trans, so it shifts smoother than the MR2
Early ones with the 1.6 are kinda sluggish, depending on what car you're coming from
Lots of aftermarket support and parts availability
That's what I've pulled from my head, since I have a couple of friends who own Miatas and I'm constantly surrounded by MR2s lol.

Is maintenance and reliability about similar for the two? storage space/speed not too important to me since it'll be a secondary car
