From what I've read on this forum and elsewhere, Miatas are a true drivers car and I want in! That is, my next toy might be a Miata. Doesn't take much to have fun in these things and I feel driving one could improve a persons driving skill. Check out this beast of a Miata.
I would. But only if it rains. Last time I sat in one the windshield came up to about my nose. I'd totally need driving goggles to take it out on I94.
Dude, just be patient. You're young still and have plenty of time to buy this and that, wrench on it, blow an engine and repeat. In your case, i would hang on to the Forester for a while. No need to buy something that's not practical for a dd year round.
Then I'll settle with the WRX until I move somewhere that doesn't have salt on the ground 10/12 months of the year.
