I never said or even implied that'll the Miata is the best sports car. There is no such thing since there is no commonly accepted metric. The results are totally arbitrary, just like a beauty contest.
What is provable is that the Miata is the best selling sports car of all time. By THIS metric, it is the most successful sports car ever.
Now you are free to pick your own metric, and I can't criticize. Snob appeal? Top speed? 0-60?
Maybe rarity or short production run? That's as good a measure as any, since all are arbitrary. I always wanted a Morgan Plus-4!
Peter Egan has owned a couple of Miatas and never seems to have a bad word for them. Maybe he's not an "enthusiast!" Come to think of it, he's owned several Harleys, including a brand-new Sportster. To my knowledge, Peter hasn't fallen for an S2000 yet, though I would'nt be shocked if he did.
