I had a MX5, I now have a 86.

MX5 is cool, pun intended, cruising around local back roads with your partner and it can hold luggage for a weekend, just.

Generally the same for the 86, BUT, alot more space, rear seats, that whilst are compromised, can fit in 2 small adults, just.

Power, for a street car there isn't alot of difference between the 2, unless your a traffic light hero, and then, they are both slow anyway.

The question is, do you want a 2 seater convertible or a 4 seater coupe.

I eventually got over the lack of space in my MX5.

Mods with $2000, good tyres, thats about $800, a real spare, $200?, then Ecutek tune for $1000?.

Profit

As for the torque dip, I don't notice it to cruising around, and when I'm up it, it's never that low in the rev range, honestly, I think marketing and Koolaid has more to do with the torque dip than actual real world outcomes, unless you think you are racecardriverbecauseracecar
