Thing is you would probably be able to get close to 2 S-FR for the price of one targa miata.

I've always liked miata, had a NB for ~3 years as my DD and only car. But my BRZ is a much better DD.
I'd love to get a targa miata as a toy/2nd car tough.

This is now for sale:

I've been seeing these for a few months now in my area. They do look nice with the top up but I have to wonder how much weight that retractable hard top adds.

I didn't think they were released yet?
I read that they add about 100 pounds (citation required) but I would think many buying these won't care.

I have a FD, I imagine it has about the same amount of interior space as the Miata. I love the car, but it makes an awful daily. Its fun to take to meets and the track tho
