Why Mazda Roadster (MX-5 Miata)...

is the right car?

nimble handling:
"the Best Handling Car in Britain." - Tiff Needell, Fifth Gear presenter and former Le Mans racer, referring to the 2nd gen Mazda Roadster, the one I now own.

experience:
"Mazda Motor Corporation announced the production of the 800,000th MX-5 Miata. Total global production of the MX-5 Miata reached this milestone on January 30, 2007 — 17 years and nine months after production commenced in April 1989." - Daily Auto Insider

quality:
"The roadster formerly known as the Miata returns to the 10Best winners’ circle for the second straight year, its eighth trophy since Mazda modernized the concept of the affordable droptop sports car in 1990." - Car and Driver

reliability:
"the number of 10-year-old MX-5s you see in pristine condition should answer any doubts over durability." - whatcar.com car review.

fun:
rear wheel drive, convertible, 150 horses, light-weight, short-shift gearbox, feel-the-road steering, need I say more?
