z3 for sure. Better looking and has more mass for a comfier and solid ride. Miata for track/autocross toy.

I would buy an nb, the interiors are much nicer and they are a ltitle quicker. A '01+ VVT has a much flatter torque curve and will be more fun to drive around town, plus the updated headlights and front bumper look a lot better than a 1st gen NB.

As far as wrenching, miatas are super easy. With a helper that knows what they are doing its possible to swap a Trans in under 30 minutes, everything is super accessible

Miata no doubt. Z3's are expensive and kinda ugly. Mazda's are cheap and look awesome. I was at advanced auto and there was this race miata in the lot and I talked to this guy working there and just asked who's miata it is and it was his and he said for under 10k he bought it, boosted it, caged it, custom seated it, lowered it.

I dunno, I really like me a clownshoe. Just look at that butt.

I don't see it. The only good looking miata is the new ND. I am about to get into the s54 Mroadie life

1.8 NA. Personal opinion, but a na done right looks better than any NB.

Say what you will about the Z3, but show respect for my M Coupe.

That booty is nice, but the long front end is bad. The proportions don't seem right unless it's like this where the hood doesn't look so long

it's Bmw's homage to British roadsters. The back end and front end of z3's are perfection.

Opinions are subjective. I think it's gorgeous, but I understand and respect your stance on the matter.

But back on topic, OP, get an NB Miata and call it good. Get some strut braces, some good tires and sport springs, nice light wheels and a Corbeau seat.

When I see a miata I don't really think "ooh that car is so cool looking/ beautiful but they some do look prettt sweet just like your guy's Ms!

For me it's the reason behind the car, even though they are so close I would hop in the miata because of the huge following and cult behind it similar to our e30s. Thats what makes me like them and their looks, it's a background and reputation and pride that miatas have for being the most budget but awesome cars out there. The z3 seems kinda lost in the car world, and unless it's an M then it's in the exact same place as the miata and s2k besides he fact it's euro and more expensive with a better interior/ better sounding engine probably

That's why I would go miata all day or even s2k that should probably be on the list!
