The spec Miata looks better....One of the few times an artist's rendering looks worse than the real thing.
I read some first drive impressions, and they were slightly disappointing--mainly that the suspension was softened up too much. That's a relatively easy fix though. High marks on more interior room, transmission, etc. though.
I don't like the angry frownie face or that infotainment thing sticking out of the dash top. Power is good, but those cars are so well balanced they really don't need it. We should see a 2 liter here with a few more pony's that the one the Hamster drove.
The flip side is that the Miata chassis in the past has been able to handle much, much more power, and this one should be able to too. If you can have a 300HP Miata that gives vette's fits, well, that's a good thing.
I see many AWD drive cars with more HP then mine car but somehow they still can't drive. :lol::nonod: They get stuck in the snow, slide off the road in the rain or just loose it and crash for no reason. So much for progress is better because a car cannot make stupid people less stupid. :lol:
.....actually I meant I wanted as much HP as I have now. I always thought that the MX5 was a much better choice for the rotary than the RX was.
2,332 pounds. That's all you need to say. If I were in the market for a roadster, that number would seal the sale. I'd live through the Phunny Phace on the thing, and fix the squishy ride.
