Lucky me that mine' a '94, then. The paint is still ok, except it has aged a slight bit differently on the plastic bits than on the metal.
:-)
Personal taste, obviously. But I think there's so many nice features on the car lost in dark color - like the huge front opening, the rear lights etc...
Plus I think the Miata is following the classic english sports cars and shouldn't come in fancy colors. I like the original white, the red and the blue... something like silver metallic is already a bit too fashionable in my eyes ;-)
