Those cupholders blocking the DVD drive plus the one that hits the passenger's knee lol!
I wish they put the 1.5L in the Miata instead for North America, at least that one can pull into 7000+ rpm and probably much better top end. But noooo cuz of people keep complaining about power. I hope Toyota and Subaru will never cave in and put a 2.5L 6500rpm redline boxer into the FRS/BRZ for here and ruin it all. Last edited by krayzie; 06-01-2015 at 12:44 PM. |

The utility + lesser price allows the twins to make it own case, but getting out muscled by the 155hp 2.0 sky-active engine, which was specifically made for mpg efficiency is quite sad. |

Summary says it best. If you can live with a 2-seater, get the Miata.
For us, I sometimes have to pick up both of the kids, so the backseat is a requirement. The Miata was never on the radar. |

LOL the twins are officially slower than a Miata
/trolling Very impressed with the ND. Love how it looks and I can deal with being a 2-seater convertible. Would I trade my BRZ for one? Nope. It would have been a tough choice if they both came out at the same time. Definitely going to test drive one when they're available. |

after reading that, it seems to me that the twins are still the winner and not the mazda. that's the way it read to me.

The new Miata sounds great. But not great for me. I don't want a soft top and chances are there isn't nearly enough headroom for me. Right away either one of those eliminate it from contention for me.
