Its the principal of the matter.


If thats all I needed I would've probably bought a miata years ago.

Like others here, we're just not convertible fans. Hell I'm pissed my car has a sliding sunroof.

one thing that turns me off from the Miata is the lack of back seat. Miatas are ridiculously fun cars, but i don't see myself purchasing one since i already have a fun, somewhat practical two-seater in my garage. :happy0180:

I agree with everything OldSkool says in this post.

I have to drive this car on the highway EVERY DAY. And the only way to prevent me from getting tickets, is to cruise.

If it was strictly going to be a track car, then obviously it wouldnt matter.

And would still have an identical power/weight ratio with the FT @ 1200kg, and only seats 2.

Especially when its been raining all day and sitting at just the right incline so as to when I drive off and come to my first stop, the water stockpiled up pours straight ontop of my head and down my neck in all of its cold glory.

Easy fix but it wouldn't be there if it was a hardtop.

The specs look really tempting. I hope the power and the weight to stay around the expected figure.
