              Really fun car

              Pros - ["Low maintenance", "Good gas mileage", "Fun to drive"]

              Cons - ["Not comfortable for long rides", "Handles poorly in heavy rain", "Sounds loud on the inside"]

              The 2016 Miata is extremely fun to drive. I use mine as a daily driver but personally wouldn't recommend it as a daily. It is a super fun hobby car to drive for fun or on short trips. Overall extremely reliable and easy to work on, but lacking in comfort and modern features.
