Reply #22: Reliable? Like a TANK. I really did the research on it before I bought

and the homework came out on top. And I LIKE IT. That, most of all, is the kicker.

I never see the small cars in accidents, I see the big cars and huge cars.

The whole passenger airbag kids should ride in back seats thing is great and all, but if you're a good driver and a defensive driver, accidents just don't happen. Accidents CAN be avoided. I've had one accident in my 20+ years of driving, and the idiot was on a cell phone and rear ended us while we were at a full stop at a cross walk.

I appreciate the folks who care, but I'll tempt fate. We LOVE our miata, although, keep in mind, I have an explorer too, a 93, all paid for and in good shape. So I get to go back and forth.

The jeep wrangler is a good idea, provided you aren't a stupid kid doing 70 around corners. Oddly, with a kid, I'd have to believe you'd not do something so silly!

Buy what makes you HAPPY. I DO love my miata! ZOOM ZOOM!
