Call GEICO,
wife and I drive a 2017 Si. $500 deductible. We are old. I am 63, no tickets since I was a crazy 25 year old. Drive 12,000 miles per year. Have rental coverage included. Our coverage levels are a bit lower than yours, but we have a $1,000,000 umbrella policy that provides extra...
The Si is a great Daily Driver. My wife uses ours to get to work, and it is our go-to-church vehicle. It’s a fun car, but I too am looking at a Miata as a weekend drive toy (I bike to work during the week).
Im babysitting my son’s 2002 Miata SE, and it’s given me the bug for a late middle-life...
Changed my mind. I can buy a 3-year-old Miata Club for the same price as a 16-year-old S2000. I know the S2000 is the better car - but that age gap is too big to justify the additional maintenance cost.
But... life happens. Sometimes you need to move to find a better job. That was my case. It worked out OK. 20 years later I have a Job with a pension and a home that has doubled in value.
My point - if you are going to buy - you take a risk because you might need to move - and that move might...
Interesting, but Honda would have a tough time competing with the Miata price performance wise. The S2000 is a better car - but you really pay for that privilege.
If you can delay buying the house for a few years (but keep saving that money) you might come out ahead in the long run. We lost money on our first purchase - market dropped, I changed jobs and city’s, and had to sell at a loss. Bought our second 20 years ago and it has more than doubled since...
Love our 2017 Si. We average 34.9 mpg, and I don’t exactly baby it.
I can relate to the appliance of the Honda turbos. They are so smooth and quiet that they have very little passion. My 2000 Si was a horrible daily driver - 4000 rpm at 70 on the freeway - BUT it was a really fun car - when it...
Thinking of adding an S2000 to the family as a weekend and errand car. My wife daily’s our 2017 Si while I bike to work. I really could use an occasional car. I miss the VTEC from my old 2000 Si.
OK. I am officially jealous. That is my favorite Mazda color too. Funny side-note. When I was much younger we hung out on Mulholland Drive, and got to chat with Bob Hall of Miata game.
