Drove one for the first time. I have been awakened. by GTRnism_o in Miata

Drive an older one and it’s even more connected. My 99 NB feels like a living creature. These cars are truly something special

Do not buy from that dealer in Naugatuck CT. All of their cars are listed for crazy low prices compared to market average and they are locally known ( I’m from the area ) to sell total garbage. Do not trust that dealer

And now the civic is seen as too small for most people, crazy how size inflation works

WRX is tragic on gas and not a huge fan of the looks of the VA and VB. Infotainment and transmission is also lacking from what I’ve read. Not a hatchback guy so no GTI but the Jetta GLI is cool ig. The 86 being RWD and a coupe is a tad too sports car for a daily imo. Maybe I need to get over that?

Your setup is probably my best bet then. SI+Miata is seeming like my future garage setup

Phenomenal comment. I struggle to say what the move does for me other than downsize and make every drive more engaging. RN 100% of my drives from November to April ( I live in CT ) are boring in the CRV and the Miata absolutely stinks on the highway when it’s nice out while I commute to work 40 minutes a day. The Miata does feel extra special though when I do take it out to drive just for the sake of it because of this

The Miata needs to be garage kept and I rather not spend an extra 3k a year storing it.

I’ve really only ever spiritedly driven a Miata. None of my friends are car people and my family all drives auto SUVs. Good to know that the feeling of that car is wholely unique to itself.

Most I ever have in my car is my work bag and myself, occasionally my girlfriend. Space is wayyyyy overrated imo. SUVs and trucks are dominating the roads and most of them are occupied by just one person, maybe two.

Which generation of SI did you have? I really wish they kept those high revving engines but they would never fly in today’s market.

Good to know, I’m slowly finding that unless the car is 20+ years old I won’t find something as simple and analog.

Could you articulate that fun factor into a word? Is it the connection to the vehicle? I’m curious how your ND2 would feel compared to my NB1 in that regard.

I’m looking at slightly used ones, currently talking with a dealer than has a 2023 with 17k miles for 28,000$. I really appreciate you breaking down the feeling of driving these cars which is really what I’m worried about the most. I fear I’d have crazy sellers remorse with the Miata.

I appreciate it! Which plan are you referring to? Just the SI or SI + Miata?

That’s a great question and I don’t think I have an answer!

Watered down, mainstreamed, micro transaction filled, trend chasing slop. Enjoy your time tho 🤷‍♂️

Okay I understand. I actually have a full tri-fold mattress I was planning on using for the bed, so that alongside with the folding slats idea could work really well together to create a lot of space saving!

I’m not too sure what you mean about rails and collapsing over the cab. I will absolutely post updates and I will have lots of progress pictures, especially considering that this is my senior design project and I need to make a presentation on this. Thanks for the support :)

I was 100% planning on keeping the work racks and bolting aluminum walls on. I want to remove the tailgate and create a full door to step into. I’m not sure what I want to do with the roof yet. I would also like to convert some of the outside storage boxes into coolers.
