A few years ago moto-journalist Chris Harris wrote a piece on the Mazda MX-5 Miata stating that is wasn’t nearly as good as everyone claimed. Naturally MX-5 fans stood up, yelled, screamed and demanded Harris’s head. Thinking that he may have been wrong, Harris decided to give the little drop-top another go in the hopes of liking it a bit more than previously thought. So, what did he think? Click past the jump to find out.

I think the problem may be that he's become jaded after driving nothing but supercars that cost more than the average home. My point is furthur proven by the fact that he liked the 1st generation car. That's because it was over 20 years ago and he was simply attracted to what the car had to offer, not having been exposed to todays crazy good exotics. Still a chick car though.

I don't understand why he likes the first gen but not the latest one, miatas haven't really changed much.

I kind of like the new one. Haven't driven the first gen. I can understand what he's saying, but Miatas are still good cheap fun.

The opinion of a automobile journalist is as important as the opinions of the posts on this article. Worthless.

if it can be described as cute and bubbly, it's a chicks' car.

Anyone who calls the first gen Miata a "chick car" has never driven one at the limit. It's anything but cute and bubbly when you are throttle steering through an apex, but I guess the muscle car guys don't know much about that. :)

In race trim, the Miatas are bad ass. From the factory, they're chick cars. That's the way I see it.
