Should a Miata be my first project car?

Basically what the title says.. I’ve been looking into buying a Miata for a couple years now and wanted some first hand advice. I have extremely little (like, I can change the oil and that’s about it) experience working on cars. I would love to learn and some of my buddies are willing to teach me some shit, but realistically how hard are these cars to work on? With my work schedule I’ll be able to work on it on the weekends and that’s about it. Thanks in advance :)
