i dunno about that. the tC has a ground clearance of 6.3" with a 55.6" height but the miata has 4.6" ground clearance with 49" height. the FT is looking closer to the miata at this point with 50" height, so if we assume it has less than 5" ground clearance, that's maybe cutting it close for my pot hole infested roads.
i dont own a miata so i dont know if that car is "too sporty" for me. and if it is, then the FT would be too. as an anecdote, in this past winter my evo with 5.3" ground clearance got stuck in moderately deep snow. this was with all seasons so yes that had a huge impact. but the semi low stock ride height didnt help. now imagine losing an extra half inch clearance, being RWD, and being a light car like the FT...
so while i want the car to be sporty, after reading all the interviews, etc. little bits of fear start creeping in. i want this car bad, but i dont want too sporty a car for DD...
