knew a guy a while back that had 3 different miata's at different times. NA, flyin' miata lsx-swapped, and a mild fi turbo build. he sold the NA one for too little power. sold the v8 one because it was front-heavy, and way too much power for the chassis. but he said the turbo version was just right. YMMV.

i'm quite sure i saw this car the one time i was at the autobahn speedway. at least the same color/wheel/motor combo. was sorta funny seeing him first argue with the track people over which category he needed to run with, and then to see the car easily keep pace with much larger v8 cars in the pack. like a mouse running with cats.

Blue Flame


If it had been an option when I was buying, I'd have gone with the similar color on the BRZ which was only offered in '16. Probably should have changed to red when I had the chance.

I detest the trend to grey everywhere.
WRB in the right light and on the right shape can be sharp, but the WRX isn't it.

Toyota's Blue is a color that will seem cool at first but one you'll get bored from rather quick. It also looks like it will hide dirt fairly well, and it will be nice whenever you clean it.

Subaru's Blue is one that you can accept, but there's nothing special about it as there are many similar blues around, it will look good, but it will be a pain to keep looking mint.

I want to say Blue Flame but I can't tell from the picture if its a trendy semi-flat color that a lot of cars are now, which I don't particularly care for. Remembering how long I keep a car, I don't think it would hold up over time if it is. 10 years from now it will be "oh from that period" color.


WRB holds up better, but not a huge fan of it either.

If these are my only two choices I'd likely go with Blue Flame just because its different, even over my concern about it's trendiness.

They had one at our local dealer. It is sort of the same as the old non pearl red as far as sheen goes.
I agree it will date very quickly. I am not really a fan.
I like the darker blues since they seem to age better.

Yes! Lovely bright color.
Favorite one I've ever owned might have been a wee bit bright. Miss this car, but don't have a place for it in the city

Colour is like most everything else, very subjective. I loved my 2006 STi in WRB as I do the wife's 2016 STi. I think Subaru were the first to do that shade for their competition cars and then onto their street legal cars. However, it wasn't long before every manufacturer had a similar colour in their line up. Same goes for the grey and the light blue. I don't think anyone jumped on the yellow band wagon of the RS 1.0 or Inazuma, (series yellow).

Must be close to the Blackwing blue then, which immediately makes it not cool on a hot hatch....
