That all comes down to what you want.. The miata looks newer and cleaner but I wouldn't say nice cause I love 240s and nissans in general and the nissan is a lot faster than the mazda however as SCC says this month you can put a Lexus V8 in a miata with a Supra tranny and have ungodly power to weight ratios so it's all personal opinion I think. Go with the 240!!!
