Finally, taking corners and placing tires where you want them is easy, but watching as the car leans as you head towards the apex is an exercise in patience. A Corvette barely leans. You take a corner at 20, 40 or 60 mph and it just sticks and goes. With the Miata, there's some flair, some drama. The tires don't let go - why would they at jogging pace - but the car feels like the car is at the edge, which is the best place to be as long as it's safe.

You can't spend a lot of time at the edge of grip in a McLaren, the penalties are too high. But in a Miata, this all happens at such lower velocities, you can stay on the edge, play on the edge, take a vacation on the edge. Enthusiasts are usually against convertibles. They're less stiff, less aerodynamic and much of the time you can't reach terminal velocity with the top down. But if what you're going for is the sensation of speed, and enjoying that time at the edge of the performance envelope, there's no better car than a Miata.

We'll also add that the trunk is big enough for a whole worksite's-worth of power tools, the passenger seat will fit a big cooler and the little roadster does better than expected on grass and mud. If you've never driven one, and value the sensation of speed more than the bragging rights of actual speed, there aren't many any?
