What is like a mazda miata, but has more room and a roof?

like a miata in that it is rear wheel drive and light weight...reliable, and cheap to maintain.





but not like a miata in that it has rear seats you can use to throw backpacks and books in.|||If this was 15 years ago i would have said a 1993 Mazda MX-6 LS. lol but you probably want something new.|||RX-8, but you need to know how to take care of it properly. RX8club.com will get you in the right direction. If cared for properly, they can be very reliable. My 1987 RX-7 is also very handy since it's a hatchback. I can get four wheels and tires in the back and still close the hatch.|||What you need is a MGB GT that has had the power train swapped over to a more reliable one. Maybe even a Miata power train.


Check around the classic car specialist in Calif, you might find one already done or one that can use a power train transplant.|||Your criteria are tough to meet.



How about going a little different direction - Subaru WRX? Powerful, all-wheel drive, and fun.
