Flyin' Miata makes some great upgrades to fix the various issues w/the factory turbo to make it the beast it deserves to be!

I sat in a new base-model ND a week ago, it's a neat car, smaller than the NC, you sit higher, seat is more comfortable, your head is closer to the top of the windscreen. Top operation is easier to put up than NC, harder to put down. Smaller trunk. Will drive a manual whenever they get them in.
I don't know the numbers (my wife would!) but the Sunlight Silver is quite common in SEs here in Aus. Previous owner had spend a lot of money on some nice performance upgrades (including Flyin' Miata) but it had has very little running since.

Interested now to see if I will fit in an ND; I am 6"5' and just fit in the NB!
