BMW Z3 vs Mercedes SLK vs Mazda Mx-5 vs MG F?

I am a teenager and I have been working hard for ages to save up enough money for a convertible. Now, with a little help from my dad, I can finally get one. I'm looking at the BMW Z3, the Mercedes SLK (R170 version), the Mazda Mx-5 (NB version) or the MG F.

The SLK is slightly more expensive than the Z3, so I would think Z3, but I've heard good things about the SLK. Same goes for the Mazda, which is the same price as the Z3. I kind of prefer the Z3, but after years of watching Top Gear, I've noticed how they're always going on about how good the Mazda Mx-5 is, which is why I've also added it to the list. Lastly, the MG is the cheapest of the lot (though arguably not as nice) but if I bought the MG I would have a lot of money left over to customize it or to spend on something else.

Which one do you think I should get and why? Thanks in advance.

Is a Mazda Miata a good car for a 16 year old?

I'm not talking about a brand new one. I was looking in the paper today and saw a Mazda Miata for $3499. I called the guy up, and he told me that the price was already dropped to $2499! $1000 off!

I have a job, I could easily pay for this car, but is it a good first car? I mean it's little, I won't have to give rides to people, and people who have them say they're alright.

Opinions please? Thanks x
