Venting I have had it with people at gas stations, parking lots, red lights, car shows, or people driving down the street saying things like
"what's that a mazda miata" or "who makes that car"
When the car came out in April 1999 to celebrate honda's 50th anniversary I was simply counting down the days until I got my license and then once I accomplished that the days until I could afford one. How do people not know about our car. And I just read this thread

If you don't like your s2k donate it too me I promise I'll enjoy it enough for both of us. As Car and Driver said if you aren't enjoying our car you aren't driving it hard enough.

It's because Miata is a very known small roadster in US.
I never heard a comment like that, what I hear in my area is "Is that a porsche" or "Z3/Z4" specially that I debadged my S
And that is due to the fact that there is no miata in here, and plenty of Prosche and BMW..

i owned 2 miatas before S.
both are quite tuned.
typical responses were between "what a nice car" to "what is that? ah, that's just another Mazda".
with S responses are between total silence and "common Honda, step on it!!!".
hard to say which one is better
