The MX-5 hate on FT86Club is simply ridiculous. I can understand the hate, being that many want an MX-5 but a not a convertible, and thus have to pick up the inferior Twin with 2 extra useless seats that do nothing other than adding weight, the FWD weight distribution and so on...

Anybody that didn't see it coming is a fool. The SkyActiv engines are very torquey motors and it only has 2300 lbs to motivate vs the FA20 with a torque dip and 2750 lbs to move. Torque is what wins races a lot of times. I never hated on the new Mx5 and if I had the money I would own both as I have a fiance and a dog plus only ONE car.
Also what FWD weight distribution you speak of? FWD is typically 62/38 not 54/46 or 53/47. Hell you can call the twins inferior all you like but there will be folks who prefer it over the Mx5 like the video showed you. Both cars are winners and you guys just banter on senselessly
