I actually thought that as well but don't have enough experience to say it. Only been in a mini once and it was at night so I don't remember the interior too well.

Can someone please explain to me why people keep calling this car a Miata fighter? Besides being light and RWD, there's nothing else that points to it.
The ND Miata is already faster than the 86, and costs more. Why would a car designed to be slower and cheaper than the 86 be considered the ND's competition? Honestly it's better to just call it it's own thing, because I don't see it as a market price or speed competitor to the ND. |

The SFR is cheaper and lighter than the ND, and will probably have just as much horsepower. Not to mention the SFR has a fixed top and has the ability to seat more than 2 people. Last edited by funwheeldrive; 12-04-2015 at 07:00 PM. |

Back on topic, the sf-r is not a miata fighter. It is what the fr-s was supposed to be, a sporty alternative first car for young Japanese guys and girls. The problem is it was still too expensive, so they have to cut costs even more. I bet this will be more of a "sporty" car rather than a sports car. I kind of doubt it will make it to the US market. If it does I bet it'll gain tons of weight and cost for safety requirements. |

Small lightweight RWD Japanese clown shoe... If I had to replace my 86 right now an M Coupe is totally on the table (and in the ballpark in terms of cost for the S52, but an SFR hatch would be 500-700 lbs lighter if only ~50% of the power. |

It's also been tested quite a few times by various sites and beat the 86 marginally most of the time. Also, they wouldn't make a car that's cheaper and faster than their own GT86. That's now how engineering and marketing works. Oh right. I forgot that the base Miata in other countries starts with a 1.5L and is cheaper. |
