    The Miata sold well because it was cheaper than an Alpha Romero. Unfortunately, everyone came to realize it would be in the shop exactly as often, practically negating any benefit.

      In what world? The Miata is ridiculously reliable until you start ignorantly modifying it.

      Funny that, with the exception of the first two model year Miatas needing an updated crank pulley, when you drive it like a normal person, they’re one of the most reliable cars out there, with the fewest problems.

      Now Alfa Romeo, they’re great cars to drive, but… well, you’re not truly an auto enthusiat until you’ve daily’ed an Alfa and suffered through all the problems and failures, to have that brief moment of perfection when driving.
