In 5 years that I've been driving this car the torque dip has never been an issue but I've never tracked the car so maybe... I did get a stage 1 tune a while back that almost completely eliminated it and I've noticed it a few times but again it's not a factor (for me). The difference in mpg's between the two cars is pretty small and I bet in real world use is even smaller unless you drive hard frequently and have a heavy foot then this car falls off pretty quickly. When I had a long daily commute and when I do mostly hwy driving it's easy to get 32+ mpg with this car. The handling is spot on and the car is easier to drive than the shorter wheelbase Miata, it also rides better over rough pavement due to the slightly longer wheelbase. Not much but it's there. I don't know what the stats are but I bet this car is also safer in a potentially catastrophic accident than the smaller topless car.
