I always thought "Why doesn't someone make a car that is affordable, fun to drive, and light like the Miata, only a coupe..." and then they did.  |
Yep and there's nothing wrong with not liking top-down motoring. Even for me, it comes with its pros and cons. On the right day, I love how visceral the experience is. It's more raw and you feel less isolated from the driving experience. But there are drawbacks. On hot days, you bake. On rainy days, you get wet. With the top up, it can feel a bit claustrophobic, etc.
I completely agree with your last comment too. The Twins are the closest thing to a Miata coupe as we've seen in the past decade. And the fact that they're a bit more track-focused in stock form is perfect for me.
