The torque dip is something I haven't really felt. I mean, I'm either puttering at RPMS below the dip, or I'm driving hard above the dip. If I want to pass, I downshift. If I don't want to have to downshift, I should get another car. The Miata will still need to downshift for a good pass. If I want to take off fast from a stop, I'm revving to above the torque dip anyway.

Also the Miata is too small and lacks versatility. I'm 100% happy with never having gotten a Miata, and I've almost done it several times. First time I looked at a Miata was when I was 16. Now I'm 41.
