2017 was the first year for the 718 he probably had a 987 which was two generations ago and some years had issues with those one |

you can still break plenty of traffic laws in a Miata, just won't look cool doing it |

I guess I'm not in the know then. I never got on the Mazda Miata bandwagon, shit was too full I suppose. Nothing about that car has ever appealed to me.

I love all these people who say I can afford this car or that car, but I bought a Miata because it`s a best handling car for the money.
I drove my friends 2001 Miata special edition quite a few times, and it was a very underpowered car, and small too. I`m only 5`9", but I felt like I was driving a toy car. He didn`t even like it. He bought it because everyone was saying that the Miata was the best handling car for the money, but he hated it so much that he sold it two years after he bought it, and bought a Corvette C6 Z51 vert.

Tbh, the MX-5 never appealed to me until the RF not because I didn't respect its sportiness, I just dislike ragtops.

I still don`t think he`s going to be happy with the Vette because he always wanted a Mustang GT vert, and some how he bought a Vette

Nah, and I'm just highlighting the crazy extremes, but tbh I'd rather be in a MX-5 RF than any vette. Just not my cup of tea.

All this is doing is outlining why Porsche sells so many cars and at a premium price. Handling, agility and power .... just need to pay for it.

Money no object, I'd still have a Miata (likely more than 1) in the stable. There is a reason they have their own racing class & the phrase "Miata is always the answer" is out there. It's true... Miata or Elise/Exige is a tough one...

I've owned Vettes & Miatas. Both are awesome. The Vette goes straight much faster, of course. Fun factor for a street car? Miata gets the nod IMO.

I wouldn't get rid of the E9XM for anything less than a GT3/4. The cayman in manual has super long gearing compared to the PDK.

To be honest if money were no consideration at all and I was ridiculously rich then I probably would own a miata, probably one from each generation AND some boxsters. I would probably have multiple warehouses full of cars ala Jay Leno. Depends for me. I keep the miata in NC. I have no desire to own the same miata in FL. Much rather have the vette or even my model 3 in FL. All my driving in FL is flat straight roads and traffic. In NC most of my driving is up and down mountain roads with minimal traffic and IMO that's where the miata and other lower power, great handling cars shine. I did have my mustang in NC for a while before I sold it and honestly not nearly as fun as the miata here on the winding roads. So yeah I think it depends. |
