OK, you convinced me

My dislike of miatas is directly related to everyone elses love for them. I find them slow, boring, uncomfortable as hell (even stock), and not attractive in any way. They are fairly affordable (to purchase and maintain) and are rear wheel drive... thats ALL they have going for them IMHO. I have no idea why there is so much love for them!

Finally, someone who shares my view! :thumbup:

OK, I'll be the hater. I never borrow tools from Kaan so it don't matter if he don't like me.

Kaan's qualms about the Miata can be directly applied to y'alls Honderps, too. By all reason, people shouldn't fanatically LOVE a Civic or CRX. They're slow, tinny, wrong-wheel-drive, relatively boring cars with mouse-fur cloth seats. To 99% of the world, they are commuter cars. But you guys love them because somehow, Honda "got it right" and to you, those cars 'feel right' when you drive the piss out of them.

I feel the same way about my balls-slow bar of soap roadster (that is just as tinny as a hatchpile). Mazda nailed it and something about it "feels right," even though it has most of the motor in common with the Escort/323 and seats that you have to cut foam from to be comfy in.
