He's 16 and you want to put him in a 2200lb turbo car? How about starting with something a little easier to handle. Not that Miatas are monsters or anything but he should atleast get some experience in driving first. I would never give my car to a 16 year old and my car is no where near the fastest car on here.
Put him in a boat like an old crown vic that was a former police car and have him learn to drive.

Are you just angry about having a **** car when you were 16 and want every other 16y/o to have a **** car too? There will always be rich ******* kids with nice cars, but a miata is far from overkill, and a relatively sensible and cheap vehicle to start out in. You can(and likely will) crash anything when you are 16. Plus like Slava pointed out, if he crashes it, more parts for us.
On the drifting tip though, I'd seriously get something easier to slide around, and an E30 would be really cool, but if it must be a miata, then I'd say 1.6 because **** is cheap yo.

Why the **** do you try and deter every 16y/o who wants a miata? And every time you suggest getting a shitty old crown vic. Miatas are great cars to learn how to drive in, and can teach you many aspects of car control which a crown vic would fail to do so.

I am merely saying that it would be wise to start on something cheap and safe while you learn to drive. Its better that way for everyone. It prevents you from getting over confident and driving outside your abilities. It teaches the driver respect for what he has and he can graduate onto bigger things.
If people have the money its their prerogative, I am not telling anyone how to spend it. I am, however, making a suggestion that could yield positive results.
I for one didn't have a car at 16. I started driving at the age of 18, and it was my mothers 92 Marquis. I then moved onto a 99 Altima which I still have, and now the Miata.
Now. If you are one of these rich ******* kids, then stop getting so ******* defensive.

All the 1.6's can go bye bye straight to my house.

You speak as though I recommend the same thing all the time and post it constantly

And Slava, c'mon, I had stock suspension up front and crazy tein 330 springs in the rear. That was more like an accident waiting to happen, spurred on by a mid corner bump. But the fact that I left that without a scratch says something about the miata's safety, along with my amazing luck.
Also, who was it running canyons with a bunch of crazy Russians a few months ago?
