Thread: miata as a daily driver?

    Why do dealerships (Who should KNOW better) get the colors wrong?

    That's a Splash Green Mica - same color as mine.

    Don't settle if your heart is set on the MSM. Wait, put money in the bank, and be patient.

    Go for the MSM, while I am a little biased, It is a great car wit heverything but CC from the factory. And with a few bolt ons you get lots o power

    I've had a Miata for a daily driver for more than 4 years. Prior to selling my business, I even ran service calls in it, all over the MetroMess. I did eventually buy a cash truck, when I busted my tranny at SCCA TMS. The truck is strictly a spare, but I do use it to work on my rental properties.

    I agree with Magma, go for the MSM, then you'r setup for some easy extra power, when your ready for it.

    Yeah, but you are over age 25. He is not!

    BTW I pay less than $400/6 months on my policy as a daily driver with full coverage and a $50/250 deductable.
