You didn't rule out the P cars, so I'm suggesting a Boxster S. =P


Seriously, you're not the only one who wants something between the 
Miata/MR2 and a typical RWD sedan. There just aren't really many options 
out there and really none if you rule out the Germans.

I say you re-think the BMW idea. The M Z3 Roadsters are basically at the 
bottom of the market now. They are fast and comfortable. And if you like 
the top-down feel of the Miata they have that too. They really aren't 
expensive to maintain if you do your own repair work.

I daily the the Z3 M Coupe and love it. It is a bit on the heavy side, 
but holy crap does the power make up for it.
