But as a daily, I'd never do it. It's a gas guzzler by modern cars standards. I was lucky to get ~ 17 mpg.
There's nothing too complicated to repair yourself but the part cost add up rather quickly.
Then again, I'm in the north east and rust was the main cause of issues.

I had one from last November thru this February; 99% rust free in New England, miraculously. It was a nice daily even with 200k miles; it did develop some issues but I paid $3500 for it, put $2k into it and sold it for $5500 so hey, not a bad time.

OP: I vote one of the German big 3; you already have a small, light Miata. Might as well get a proper German sports coupe/sedan for a daily. I'm looking for something similar but I've decided I can stand it to be automatic so long as my other car is manual. That opens up things like Mercedes AMG cars, Audi S8, heaven forbid another RS6, BMW 740i, etc.
