Qingdao, who let you in here?
Mods? Can we take away his posting rights?

To me, a car purchase MUST be emotional. Which car would you covet if it lived next door?
Which car will you feel good climbing into?
Which car makes you feel heroic at the track?

Whatever your thing, if the car doesn't poke it for you, don't buy it.

The miata doesn't for me.
It's reminiscent of auto-x. Sure, they CALL it "racing", but we all know you're in a parking lot in 2nd gear. It's not REALLY racing.
And the miata is not a REAL sports car.



How many people'd I just piss-off?

All that true. Miata is a great value, but indeed it isn't a sport car.

If I lived next door to those cars... yeah... the 986.

LOL I kicked the door in.


But honestly these cars are all getting up in age, and if you aren't willing to put in some wrench time it might be simpler to buy the cookie cutter NB.


Trust me as far as just a driving experience the Porsche wins hands down. Way better car, but that might come up and bite you when you look at a repair bill.



Oh I love a good miata bashing. BUY AN RX7 ALREADY. Miata's are like ridiculously slow RX7s. Reliability be dammed, but they are a hoot while they run.
