I went from a 1997 Miata to a 2018 Camaro LS/V6 1LE. The Miata handled great with an Ohlins suspension and other modifications, but I had two big problems. It was underpowered for track days and with California emissions rules I couldn't built the kind of motor I wanted. It also was small with outdated safety equipment, so I was scared driving it long distances on the freeway.
But the Miata looked good, did great in autocross, and asked for almost nothing in terms of maintenance, repair, gas and tires. Such an easy car to own.
