As much as I love Miatas, I am a weird one... Not the biggest NA / NB fan because I can't ever drive one comfortably... I've test drove a bunch of them trying to pick one out for my friend 2nd hand, but looking over the windscreen is not my imagination of fun...
Although the car handles like a bat out of hell, 115 hp is as much fun to drive everyday as my sister's xA... At LEAST that thing is not an automatic... That's all I can say...
GoKarts are fun to drive, but that's because you usually drive them in an area where they're designed to bring you maximum fun... If you drove a GoKart to work everyday, it would seem boring ONCE you hit the on ramp to any freeway / highway / interstate...
2550 is a far cry from 2100, and I ain't getting any lighter since going over the big Three O hump... This car has got to bring a bit more to the table than 150 - 160hp...
I love the NC, but the whole Miata forum sees that as the bloated big brother that is bring shame to the family... If this thing is heavier with less power, that would not be a good day IMO... Well I guess the upside is that I don't have to worry about my drop top leaking 10 years later...
