The MX-5...and you., Dig into your inner auto enthusiast. Options

So, as we are all Celica owners, we all have the same baseline perspective to build on. What do you as 6GCers think about the Mazda MX-5? Would you consider trading your Celica for an MX-5 (specifically the NB - 2nd gen), and if you did, what would you consider to be the pros and cons of trading to an MX-5?

Thanks for the input.

My sister's good friend drove around a stripped out 1991 red miata for her first car. The rear window eventually went opaque and the top leaked now and then, so she had the top replaced last summer. It set her back almost $800, so I’d recommend finding one with a top in really good condition.

This one in your area seems like it could be a good buy:
Red 91

Some things I know about the NA series cars:

The 89-93 NA's have the 1.6, and the 94 and up NA's have the 1.8 (with an extra 18-20HP)

Factory LSD was viscous type pre 96, and 96 on cars carry a Torsen LSD setup (more reliable)

R cars have standard Bilstein shocks and no power steering

94 and newer cars have strengthened chassis braces for better side impact protection.
