I've driven a miata back to back to my FR-S and yes, the miata does lean a bit on the curves (body roll) but that's just the way its suspension works.

If Mazda wanted it to NOT have body roll, they would have put an RX7 front anti sway bar on it for the same cost. Or the owner can do that for about $100 and 30 minutes worth of time.

Call me old fashioned but I always felt more stable on the curves with my miata, when it was leaning a little bit, rather than my FR-S that doesn't lean hardly at all - go figure -
