Which car to keep??
I found a Miata in the paper the other day. It was owned by a lady and was a Texas car most of its life. It has 126k miles but had been regularly maintained. Its a triple black 94 so it has the 1.8L . I got it for $2600 as it is in the pic. It needs a few small things done...for ex. the driver side window regulator needs to be replaced($40) and the rear center garnish is cracked($120 carbon fiber one). The car has a/c as well as new tires/brakes/radiator/clutch hydraulic system. Here's the thing tho. I can only keep one of my cars and its either the Miata or the DA.
My DA has only 56k miles and is in perfect condition minus a few rock chips on the hood. If I was to sell the DA the money would go towards the Miata in upgrades. Anyways I would like some feedback on what you guys would choose as a DD. Oh BTW it wont really be a DD cause I'm getting a free van from the state to take to work everyday. Vanpool is great. Thanks for looking and sorry for the long post
DA as it sits now except I just got the mirrors painted this week.
The miata
Which would you keep/build??

hmm seeing that this is a honda site, most ppl will say the DA...so im just gonna say miata, depending on what u want to do with the car...miata is a great handiling car and rwd. i drive miatas alot im a tech at Gm/mazda dealer
again it depends on what u want to do?
the miata doesnt really have room inside for much...so if u need a daily driver then miata isnt bad but there isnt much room

I'd say keep the DA, just for the fact that, you know it's a honda so if anything goes wrong, parts can be easily found. And your DA is real mint. Only 56k miles? That's

first off they r both extremely clean looking cars for their age. theres alot more positives to the da though i.e. its got hella low miles. back seats, a bigger trunk. If u keep the miata I think u will run into more maintanence issues with it, like replacing the convertible top and things like that. id keep the car that will require less maintanence and to me that looks like the integra. peace
