I'm very unlikely to use the care to go sideways or on a track, so most of the points seem more negligible to me. But isn't it good to have that feeling of composure?
i think the issue is that it seems that the car needs to be pushed in order to wake up. the m3, cayman and miata are all good cars imo but the miata is the car that is fun to run errands or just be stuck in traffic.

i appreciate being fun at 100% but in reality we spend most of our time on the street where im more likely at a much lower fraction of my abilities. the miata is fun as fast as it goes (which isnt very fast) but it is remarkable because it is fun at much more pedestrian speeds too. sounds like the brz fails in that dept
