What's so bad about Miatas???

[Michele l'Arcangelo]

I'm almost 19, Asian, and I want to get a 99-02 Miata.

I don't see how people think it's gay or a girl car...

I'm no giant... and if I were to drive it, it won't look like Diddy Kong/Mario Kart racing or whatever... like most Americans usually do when driving it.

I care, but don't care what people think of it, and what people would say about me getting/driving one.

It's not like I'd rice it out or anything either.

I noticed most Americans are concerned about expressing their masculinity through their vehicle for some reason... but then criticize someone for getting that car because they are trying to express their masculinity. See, I'm short and if I were to get a truck people would say, "Oh, he's short and trying to make up him height by getting a truck," or "You didn't get a truck... you must be gay or into girl cars".

Always a lose-lose situation with most people.

Not that I care about what people would call me... I just want to put my money into something that will improve my "image".

Also, I think it's "practical" enough... IF i were to take perfect care of it... and keep it clean throughout. It's small enough, looks good, convertible, and a two-seater (which is good to ME).

Someone explain why it has that label?

I wish I had a Miata

It's a smaller car, a small convertible at that, with more curves and softer edges on it, which typically look more feminine. Sharper edges and meaner-looking cars are more masculine, simply put.

But, they handle the pants off of most other cars, and can be made into track/autox monsters very easily, plenty quick when tuned a little, too.

I think Miatas hold this label because it's a "wannabe" sports car that's really not at all. Same thing with an eclipse (which in my book, is considered a girl's car).

But honestly, who cares? Any woman who turns down a man based on the car he drives surely has other motives.

I hate how miatas are so damn small they look like clown cars.. If you like 2 seater convertibles the Honda s2000 would be the best choice. Its better in every aspect like power, looks, bigger pvsy magnet, and its a honda.
And people wont be embarrased to get in it, unlike the Miata.
