If I was young right now I'd certainly have a 1997 or 1999 Miata (prefer the 1999 miata's front lights that don't pop up and styling). He's young. Get the convertible now. Enjoy it before he gets a family.

I've spent lots of time on Miata Brickboard type of forums and they are reliable cars.

Make sure the timing belt is changed and enjoy it.

As far as fun for the money the only thing that comes close to the Miata is a Jeep Wrangler.

Having to replace belts on a 240 seems like a silly reason to get rid of it though.

I'm trying to get my soon to be 16 year old son to appreciate our 240 wagon. He likes that it is "old" and he can see that it is a "classic". Yet, he is drawn to BMW 3 series cars of the same vintage.

He loves the way the Amazons look and he certainly likes any Volvo with a turbo motor.

We will see what he ends up driving, but initially he will be in our 240 wagon for a year or two (until he wrecks it or until he gets enough cash to get his own car).
