The dummy gauge in the 1993 Miata is part of the reason I ended up buying a '92. Having a real oil pressure gauge just makes the car feel so much more accessible and 'real'.
As an aside, the 'dummy gauge' is arguably worse than a lamp because it's much easier to overlook a needle being out of range than it is a light that's always off suddenly being on.
The first generation Miata is an amazingly fun car to drive - it's not fast, but it feels 100% mechanical (even though there are a few computers in the engine).
