It's quite simple...I drove the MX-5 and found things with it I don't like, and the shifter is the thing that really turned me off - that shifter absolutely is not pleasant at all to me, reminds me of a video game shifter. That people actually enjoy the shifter kind of boggles my mind a little!!! But I'm the kind of driver that enjoys a nice, extremely positive and short throw shifter that is right at steering wheel height, thinks that 205/45-17 tires on 17x7.5 wheels are the ideal fitment for the FR-S, and that the stock FR-S handling was neutered some after MY 2014. Basically I'm probably the odd one here...

It's not like I would probably ever get a miata to begin with though; I don't do convertibles. If I did get a miata, the entire convertible system would be yanked out and hard top permanently installed. That would be the only way I'd ever own one.
