The others are enthusiast who appreciate the handling, low center of gravity, low curb weight, throttle response and NA engine where you have to work for your power. They also realize that there are not many vehicles at that price point that offers these things besides the Miata.
...or buy it cuz you're having mid-life crisis... like me

Joke a side, I agree the most of the ppl fit into those 2 categories, (i'm in the 2nd one) but even in 1st category, there are other equal or cheaper, faster, roomier options that fits better. (Mustang & etc) But somehow ppl still buy 86. Miata is another good example of this unique mystery lol
