I think the original Mazda MX5 is a great car for those early years. (I think you call it Miata in the US).

The old 911 where difficult cars to drive with limits that could be easily reached and next thing you know you have crashed.
Sounds like pretty much the opposite of "best car to develop driving skill" to me.

A Miata that gets "playful" when you cook a corner is a much better learning tool than a '73 RS that's going to punish you like a bitter ex-wife if you come in too hot. How are you ever going to learn the ways a car tells you you're at the limit if you're in a car that won't let you cross that line safely?

Grant said:I beg to differ. A 73RS is VERY predictable at the limit and VERY controllable, once you learn proper rear-engined driving techniques. Of course, it's not recommended to be tried on anything but a wide track on a slow corner to begin.

Grant said:I also think that a driver who can master an early 911 will have no problem driving a Miata fast in short order, but a Miata racer may be totally out of his depth when trying a 911 for the first time

Agree with you there. I think driving with an instructor or experienced friend at first is much more warranted in a 911 than a Miata.
