Hi jonboy 99 ......[IMG]file:///C:/Users/Roger/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image002.png[/IMG]
I just purchased an FR-S and traded in my Mazda, Miata, MX-5, NC (2006).
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our 7 years and 88,000 miles, mostly ontrips throughout the western US and Canada, top down in our Miata. Not a bit of trouble with the car.
Why did we trade? Well, mrs humfrz got a bit weary of roadstertraveling (we are in our 70s). A little too much heat, sun and allergy stuff inthe air for her.
The FR-S offers the advantages of a bit larger trunk, a spare tire, a bit moreshoulder room in the cabin and a “back seat” for extra cargo space (not to carrypeople). The cabin is a bit quieter foreasier conversation.
As far as power, they feel about the same. As for handling, they are about the same, for average driving. For track purposes, the miata could use somesuspension modifications (inexpensive and easy fix). Fuel economy about the same.
They are priced about the same.
So, if you’re looking for a roadster, I’d recommend a miata. If you’re looking for a coupe, I’d recommendthe FR-S or BRZ.
