I found a real nice one, body is mint and only 80k miles.

I don't know shit about these cars, looking for opinions and common issues etc if anyone has owned one or more before.

I've got a '96 and it feels like a go kart. there's a cult following for these cars. nothing out of the ordinary to look out for for that year I don't think.

What are some common issues in general?
Anything specific I should ask about?

I've never really been in or around a Mazda so I'm not sure what to expect or ask about, haven't looked at Google yet so feel free to send me there instead of typing it out I suppose.

Yes, it's realiable. If you want a good sports car the option must be the 1.8 with factory LSD.

Show me pictures of the car. Price? Extras?

Buying in the US or Eu?

I've owned multiple Miata's and the 1.8L is noticeably faster. I found the ride of my 2000 to be quite stiff and hard on my back, it was a sport model with 17 or 18 inch wheels.

My favourite was a 1994 M-Edition that I had, by far the most comfortable, balanced and encouraging in the turns.

So cool the M Edition
