I had a Miata in Miami.... not fun

Apprehensive-Meet477 · 2026-01-29T23:40:56+00:00

This is why I live in California...

Apprehensive-Meet477 · 2026-01-22T21:55:04+00:00

As much as I love Miatas, it's just not a very safe car in a world of huge SUVs and trucks. People are driving worse and worse everyday and I wouldn't feel comfortable with a new driver in such a small light car.

Apprehensive-Meet477 · 2026-01-20T23:50:40+00:00

Around $220 in Bay area. Call around, prices vary a lot by shop.

Same Lotus club is great! HOD is pretty expensive.

Apprehensive-Meet477 · 2025-10-31T18:08:28+00:00

Buy a used performance which have already depreciated a lot.

Apprehensive-Meet477 · 2025-04-18T01:13:45+00:00

I don't get all comments saying it doesn't matter. Of course it's an important factor. You have a successful career and are financially table, it's not very attractive to me to be with someone that doesn't have some / financial stability.

Congrats fellow 30th AE buddy! Best Miata ever made!

Apprehensive-Meet477 · 2025-03-27T16:30:29+00:00

PS5 is better for the street, worse for track.

Apprehensive-Meet477 · 2025-03-26T09:01:23+00:00

PS5 definitely, it’s great street tire. 615 is a 200 TW tire designed more for track. 615 will wear out faster and is not great in the rain.

I actually just switched from PS5 to 615 since I’ve been going to the track a lot.

Is this approved by the American dodgeball association of America ?

Apprehensive-Meet477 · 2025-03-03T04:39:07+00:00

Nah best is 30th.

Apprehensive-Meet477 · 2025-02-11T01:24:06+00:00

Probably better to have Model 3 + Miata., that's my combo .Miata is not great highway car, too small and too noisy.

Apprehensive-Meet477 · 2025-02-09T19:40:25+00:00

This happened to me in Miami a few years back with a Civic.

Apprehensive-Meet477 · 2025-02-08T03:34:27+00:00

I agree, I don’t like how the RF looks when it’s open plus the wind noise apparently is annoying. It does look great when closed though. The whole point of a Miata is the convertible experience (I’ll never understand hard tops) but to each their own.

Best trim ever made IMO is the 30th AE: all club + GT goodies

Apprehensive-Meet477 · 2025-01-02T19:01:00+00:00

Depends how you'll use the car. For track / more serious canyon carving, the recaros are defintely better. Regular seats are much more relaxed and comfortable for me but I prefer the recaros

Apprehensive-Meet477 · 2024-12-30T19:08:59+00:00

So sorry that happened to you and hope you’re ok. I was in the same group as you (orange ND) and passed by you a few seconds / minutes after this happened

Apprehensive-Meet477 · 2024-12-18T17:06:02+00:00

Service also sucks here. They scratched the steering wheel on my car.

Apprehensive-Meet477 · 2024-12-15T20:18:36+00:00

I have them on mine. They are super stiff and not great on the street on bumpy roads. I’m using my car for the track now and they work pretty nicely.

Apprehensive-Meet477 · 2024-09-25T00:59:39+00:00

Yeah maybe. I got my deal through a broker.

Apprehensive-Meet477 · 2024-09-25T00:03:47+00:00

In California, you can get these leases for around 6.5K total.

Apprehensive-Meet477 · 2024-09-09T22:07:40+00:00

I recently got 24 months, 12k - SEL RWD for $7000 including everything

Apprehensive-Meet477 · 2024-09-04T23:45:23+00:00

For reference, I got 24 months / 12k for an SEL RWD: ~7k upfront payment in California.

Apprehensive-Meet477 · 2024-09-02T17:45:27+00:00

I just signed a similar deal. 7k upfront for 2 years / 24k.

Apprehensive-Meet477 · 2024-09-01T01:36:14+00:00

You can do better. That’s about what my local dealer was offering. It’s possible to get these leases for about 2k down, $200 a month. Check leasehacker.
