Miata NC47/70
The Deal
9
$6,985 at 120,000 miles in Good condition. Under a third of what the ND asks.
The Drive
6
167 hp and 2,480 lb. Slower than the ND, and honest about it.
The Upkeep
8
$4,027/yr. A chain with no interval and cheap 205s, given back on 24 mpg.
The Risk
8
No engine grenade, and every failure on the list is findable before you pay.
The Daily
3
Two seats, 5.3 cu ft and no CarPlay. A weekend car, scored as one.
The Limit
8
C Street, the same SCCA class as the ND at the top of the Board.
The Mods
5
Elite chassis support, and no realistic path to +100 whp. The mod-poor Miata.
