If it was all about gas mileage and saving money I would have gone with a Miata.

Like you said, it's all about personal taste and situations. Although the 35i, the 28i, and the Miata are all on my list, I feel that the 28i is a good fit for someone like me who wants decent power with very good overall package.
The Miata handles incredibly well and has great gas mileage (although the 28i will have better mpg than the Miata), but I want a tad more power, comfort, and luxury too. Don't get me wrong, I would choose the 35i or a Porsche over the 28i if money wasn't an issue, but times a little tighter than I care for...at least it's not too tight where a Miata (or nothing) is my only option.
Anyway, I know I'm not the only one in this situation, otherwise auto makers wouldn't have bothered downsizing their engines like they are starting to do.
To each his own...
