As for the OP, fast or slow opinion is individual opinion and it varies, there's no right answer to that. It's slow car to you doesn't mean, it's slow car to others. I'm not far off if I say, most owner doesn't use this car to full potential, but wanting more... BUT we see owner wrapping their car around pole/tree like burrito. We read more about unhappy owners more than happy owner, cuz happy owners are too busy driving this car and having blast time. Just my 2yen Last edited by ichitaka05; 08-11-2016 at 01:05 PM. |

stef must need the money for her porch to spin such a flimsy argument into that tryhard click bait. tl;dr no roof, no trunk, and it's too popular means she won't be a happy unique little snowflake in it. The underlying gold of that article is that throughout she doesn't even question the fact that it's an awesome sports car. I mean, I didn't and likely won't buy one for the exact same reasons she "hates it" (except I like the looks), but then again I don't get paid by the click for what I write. |

You just done went and spoilt yourself .... Sort of like back in the day, having a 283 cu. in. Chevrolet V-8, with a 2 barrel carburetor then putting on 2 - 4 barrel carburetors and a high lift cam and saying the pre-modded car didn't have enough power to get out of the way of itself ...... humfrz |

It's definitely not for everyone though, no matter how much "the answer is always Miata" crowd likes to think it is.

A Miata will naturally be perceived as faster when you drive with the top down.
I'm quite comfortable on my twitchy RD400. In part cuz I'm wearing a helmet. Not so much when I'm descending a steep mountain on my road race bicycle at a fraction of the RD's speed. Mostly cuz I can feel and hear the wind in my face. Perception is reality. |

But still would you buy the Miata if prices were closer? I wouldn't. But I don't like drop tops for everyday drivers. As a fun car for some events maybe. But not a daily driver.

I've hated the Miata from day one. There's nothing about the car that appeals to me. I would've rather have a Buick Reatta.
