My favorite car ever was my 2001 Miata LS, Silver/Tan 6-speed...

It eventually got sold to make way for a car that could haul kids around

It is finally time for me to get myself a Miata again!

I do not want to start a "Miata Gen B/C" debate here, but I have a question on the Gen B or C consideration.

Are the C's as reliable as the B's? Are there any C years to avoid?

What else should I be considering or researching prior to figuring out what to buy?

Thanks,
Glenn
