z31 or miata

Herein lies my dilemma, I am a poor college student who wants a new car. I would love to get a 90’s 300zx but funds won’t allow it so I am debating over what else would suit my fancy. Basically I will be commuting 20-30 min a day over back roads to and from school and would like a car that is economical, reliable, and fun. Both cars are RWD it would definitely be standard transmission (5spd). What are your takes on both cars?

If your still a student, you don't have enough money to make a z31 your daily driver. If the choice is only one of the two you have to go with the miata. unless your like 7'3 345lbs. haha
