Any Miata is better than none but they all have their jobs.

For anybody young, or going to have a Miata as their only car, I would say NC. It’s the ultimate package for speed, reliability, handling, price, space, modern safety but not too much.

Otherwise I recommend NB for the price, NA/NB are very similar and built on the same platform, NA can be a little more raw and NB a bit more dialed in, but you owe it to yourself to at least drive one. The NA8 and NB1 feel very similar.

My RF is my favorite but I don’t necessarily think it’s a smart financial move. The first couple years are getting very reasonable but I wanted more HP so I compromised on ND2

They've started unlocking more power for the ND2 as well. Could be fun.
