Does a Miata make a good first car? I don’t know, you’ll have to ask the 18 year old who is buying mine  on Saturday.

ANY car is a good first car because you’re just happy to have a car!

  I’d say it’s a great first car, with the caveat that I wouldn’t want my kid doing much highway driving in it.

It’s a good car, I survived 4.5 years in college, 3 years of commuting to work after graduation, and doing autocross for 7 years straight in my 2002 Miata.

Any car is a good first car. However, some cars are better at first car-ing than others.

No. Near  100% fatality rate above 45mph does not bode well.

So should I call off the sale?

Nah dude, it’s not your responsibility what happens to the car after it leaves you. Just saying, if I was that kids’ dad, I’d be voicing strong objections. Maybe he’ll be the safest driver ever and only take it to church on Sundays

Here's to hoping. The dad was there today along with the son to look at the car, so at least the kid isn't buying it without them knowing.
