As some of you may know, I'm now a retired automotive writer with credits that include AutoWeek, Road & Track, Car and Driver, etc, and back in 1990, I wrote a comparison review of the Miata and the Lotus Elan.

I've republished that article in a website I've started with many of my articles beginning way back in 1981. If you'd like to know what I was thinking about the Miata (as compared to the Elan, too), check it out at https://rememberroad.com/what/mazda/mazda-miata-lotus-elan/ .

After you read that (or before), sign up for a subscription for a once weekly email with the articles published that week. And if you want to look through the variety of cars i've written about and reviewed, check out this: https://rememberroad.com/all/
