In terms of pricing in Canada, a Miata will cost $31,900 which is a bit higher then I thought it would be, but then I realized that that would be for the base GX model, without the 7" screen which means the interior would look like:
I understand the idea of a base model and that it would (like the Mazda 3 lower trim) be missing features other spec'ed out Miata's would have but... I can't stand that steering wheel missing a whole section of buttons on one side and that cheap radio in place of the navigation screen. But for that extra set of buttons and navigation, it's $35,300 which I wouldn't be able to justify getting myself, given the seating and trunk space it has.
