So lately I've been thinking about a lot of other cars. two are really starting to look pretty good. The VW GTI/VR6 and the Mazda Miata MX - 5. I guess you could say I'm in "Car Limbo"
I guess I want a change form the slight muscle that I have now. Has anyone driven either of these in the newer models like 2000 up. are they fun to drive, fast/zippy, comfortable.
So the question being should I get one of those and give up my stang and if yes, why and which one, and if not why?
I need some piece of mind either way I go...

I can vouch for that. The kid at my school with two gay dad's has one of them.

un-biased opinion here!
i LOVE a cars. i LOVE miatas. am i gay? hell no. i have an appreciation for imports and euros as well as my mustang and family of Fords. i will always remain loyal to Ford and the mustang, but i would love to try out other stuff. you guys are sounding very ignorant because the GTi and Miata will both hand your asses to you n a road course, and with the right tuning, on the drag strip. all the while getting better gas mileage and actually having interiors that match their price.
that being said, i wouldn't want a miata as my sole means of transportation. they just are not practical. hell i hate my mustang for that reason. i can't haul sh*t in it, and it is even worse with my sub box. and that makes it a b*tch since i have to move back and forth from home to college a couple times a year.
but seeing the car that you have now, i just can't see you affording either of those two cars or an SRT4 unless you put everything you make into the bank. even stepping up to a 99-04 V6 or GT would make a BIG difference in your satisfaction with Mustangs. i absolutely hate SRT4s though. . but i respect them because they are fast as hell and easily tuned.
if you do have the money for a new car, i would look into a used SVT Focus (2003 or 2004 with the Euro Package: Recaro heated seats, HID headlights and different wheels) or a Mazda 3. even a used WRX or Forester XT (the turbo one with the same engine as the WRX. they have a small, but faithful following and i have seen some insanely modded ones that are just plane SICK!).

I can't afford a new car but I'm good at shopping for cars and have great haggleing skillz. So I can manage. Plus I have some money put away.
First off... I'd rather drop dead then drive any kind of Focus. The wrx's are nice but it's impossible to find one with decent milage and a good price. I mean average of $18,000 and 40,000 miles for a 2001 is just CRAZY!!!
If I get another car it probably won't be another Mustang. Don't get me wrong, I love mustangs and they've been my favorite car scince I knew what a car was, but I just want a change... something with a nice interior, fun and easy to drive, small-ish, fast-ish... you know.
Everyone I knows tells me I have a really nice car and not to get rid of it, or I'll regret it. It's really hard to even think of getting rid of it too, I would have to find a car I fell in love with, like I was meant to drive it. Half the reason I made this thread was hoping to get talked out of it... but not with stuff like "they are gay" or "I don't like them" or "Every time a man buys a miata god kills a baby." Like actuall reasons and facts, or experiences. I was hoping someone had driven a couple of them before and could tell me how they are.
I don't know.
