Am I too big for a Miata?
It's a question many people ponder — but not many people answer. The short answer is no, you are not too big for a Miata. It can be daunting to buy a car that looks small on the outside but spacious on the inside, but the Miata has enough room for anyone under 6'3" and 215 lbs. A Miata can be a good first car for an adult, but most would prefer to wait until they master the art of parallel parking. Someday, you will be able to have this car all to yourself. There is something about driving a Miata that makes one feel as if anything is possible. I know, it sounds funny now. I once told my mother that I thought all my friends were cool because there were two teddy bears in the backseat and they smelled like an expensive perfume. The truth is, driving a Miata will make you feel like you can conquer the world. At that time, I had less than $200 to my name. Driving an economy car was not at all intimidating when my expectations were so low. There is something unique about the Miata that makes it, unlike any other car on the road — it's a convertible with a hardtop. On a day when you are feeling good and want to let your hair down, roll the top back and enjoy yourself. On a day when you feel like you want to go incognito, keep it up and no one will be able to tell if you are smiling or frowning. This is not the kind of car that draws attention to itself. Just like the pants that are too big for you, the Miata is good for your image. Having a Miata says that you are responsible and practical, but also fun-loving and stylish. It can always be fun to drive a Miata. And if you need a car, the Miata will always be there for you. So here's my advice, get a Miata. Like your pants, it is good for your life. And if you happen to feel like you need to get something bigger and more high-maintenance, just go ahead and trade it in.
