3 Miatas here, gen 1, 2, 3. Both my nieces sequentially inherited Miata #3 once I just got too arthritic, and they have the distinction of knowing how to drive a manual when 99.9% of their male peers haven't a clue. The Miata is a gift to the automotive universe. It puts more smiles per mile on your face than any other vehicle in existence. I've owned it all, including a near-supercar-for-its-day 93 RX7-R1. The Miata is my second favorite automotive memory (#1 is my pudgy 60s VW Bus).
The Miata isn't about putting a masculine frown of aggression on your face and mowing down your fellow motorists and laughing at their twitching corpses. It's about connecting with the joy of driving in a car that only requires you to reach 25% of the car's limits to generate that joy.
You do have to endure the occasional jeer of "chick car" from some knuckle dragger who equates brute force with driving pleasure.
Edit: just want say I'm not disrespecting the S2000, which is a driving purist's dream. But if I could go back in time to 1993, I'd buy an NSX instead of my RX7-R1. The original NSX has always been my lust car.
