Miata as first car? Suggestions?

[Senor_Taylor]

I think it'll be a problem with me fitting in either unless the BMW has adjustable steering wheel.

I'd love a Miata for the fact that go-fast parts are super cheap and it doesn't blend into the crowd.

The E36, on the other hand, rides like a dream, will probably have leather seats, back seats ( having one vehicle with more than 2 seats would rock), a roof, and a nicer interior and has way more power. I'm afraid I'll be wishing for more with the Miata.

How's the ride in a miata compared to the BMW?

Now that I'm serving, I'm honestly expecting at least $5000 in the bank before next semester starts. I've been making something along the lines of $15 an hour recently.
