2001 SE BRG!!!
Source: MSN Autos

...Gas milage is good as one expects in a 2450 lb vehicle. The 2001 SE is the only model since 1991 to offer BRG. Simply the best color out there for a retro 60's type sports car. Cons: It is small. I do not dislike that since that is why it handles so well. However, do not think you can use it as a main car unless you are single without kids pets home etc.(i.e. in college) Overall: Great Second car. You can fine low milage used for reasonable prices. Mine had 17,500 miles when bought in 3/05...

2001 Mazda MX5 LS

...One of the best, if not the best, cars I have ever owned.
Bought in California and driven home to Texas and averaged over 30 MPG at an average speed of about 95 MPH.
Most fun of any vehicle I ever drove and is more reliable than any I have owned which have included several sports cars.
The only drawback to certain 2001 MX5s is a very slight clutch shudder when first driven on certain mornings.
This is no real problem because it disappears after a couple of starts.
I have tangled with BMW Z3s, among others, and blew them off in both high speed acceleration and...

...Pros: Sheer fun of driving it. Most fun i've had in a car driving.
Cons: Can't seem to keep tires on it. That could be my fault Overall: Roomy for a small car. Fast for 142 BHP, Stable for a car that tops the scales at just of 2 pounds...

2001 Mazda Miata Automatic Transmission
Source: Cars.com

...The auto transmission shifts smoothly but lacks mid range power. The handling is incredible. It is like driving a racing go-kart. The air conditioner is very good after initial 3-mile cool down. Make sure that the ECM has been upgraded before purchasing a 2001 or 2002 model. The upgrade will cost you $1000+. Routine maintenance items such as tires, brakes, sensors, and filters are very cheap for miatas. I would also recommend using non-ethanol gas. The ethanol will corrode the fuel line inside the fuel tank. I found this out with my car. Two hours of labor and $150 worth of parts to fix."...
