I've always loved Miatas; and the thought of actually potentially owning one just popped in my head last night, since I've started working full-time.
I'm thinking of just dropping a few grand on an older one, even if its not in pristine condition. I figure besides at this time in my life (22, full time job, no school, girlfriend, no kids), the only other time I could own one would be when I hit my mid-life crisis
How are they in terms of reliability and maintenance? Especially higher mileage ones?
I can handle basic maintenance (brakes, oil change, engine mounts, coolant, etc.) but haven't had experience with major/larger jobs (struts/suspension, anything requiring me to take apart the engine itself, etc).
Thanks
