 I've owned my 2001 now for a full year and still loving it.    Trunk is larger than it looks fitting my golf bag or a decent Costo/Grocery trip.   Power and suspension is balanced so any slightly curvy road is great fun - even at a "little" over the speed limit.   There are plenty of these around.  Search the forums for a list of check points.  If you're not afraid of a wrench, you can do almost everything yourself.    I got it at 145Kmi w/ not rust but some neglect.   Projects done myself with the help of youtube were - new aftermarket headlights (sold original on ebay for the same price as aftermarkets); master/slave/hose clutch cylinder replacement, trans/diff/shift oil changes, new rubber shift boots, pulled carpet and cleaned; Costco seat covers; cleaned/painted dirty interior trim, top, wheels and side mirrors black; intake manifold removal/cleaning/reinstall (cleared P code); alternator replacement - all under $1K total.    I don't have a lift so I did have the clutch replaced by a local Miata repair shop.     Great car!11/2017 - still going great.   Highly recommend.
