 The MX-5 RF hearkens back to the days of the small "barchetti" roadsters.  Incredible road feel and handling in a package that, in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful on the road today.  Let's be clear: this car isn't fast but (to make the distinction), it's quick .  I've been toying with the idea of putting the new Edelbrock blower in the car but every time I drive it, I talk myself out of it; the car is just so damn much fun to drive, just the way it is.  I'm currently getting an average of 33.8 mpg (mostly highway) and with that kind of mileage, using 93 octane fuel doesn't hurt.  In comparison to my two most recent sports cars, both BMW Z4s, I would suggest it is, far and away, more fun to drive.  And to have bought this car for only ~$33K...I couldn't ask for more.  I just love this baby!
