The torque dip obviously isn't something I'd want in a car, but if that's the worst thing about the car, it isn't the worst thing in the world to live with when compared to the lack of utility in the other. Like others have said, I can rent a truck if I really need it, but I forgot to mention reclining front seats so I can nap in the car is also a thing I will miss if I don't have it. I mean the torque dip is like a malformed nose on an otherwise perfect face. Not the end of the world, but it's a pretty glaring flaw.
The renting a truck thing does sway the decision towards MX-5 honestly. Still, there's a price to all of it. Until I get the numbers back from the dealers tomorrow, I won't know how much the scales have tipped. I'll inform everyone what that'll be when time comes, but either way, I think I'm going to be very happy. With just the slightest hint of regret.

You'd have less in a rebuild of a paid off, desirable, rare(ish) xrunner than it would cost to buy either of these cars.
I see xrunners going with 150k+ for what an 80k 13 frs sells for. Also.... utility.
Basically, don't buy a twin. I foresee more "problem" threads for us and buyer's remorse for you.
