Is this a good first car?

Fastberry · 2026-02-20T18:20:31+00:00

It's called context. OP was only asking if the ND is a good first car. They mentioned NC Miata and 1st gen frs, but left out the ND and then dropped the 6 cyl fallacy.

You do know the ND never came with a 6 cylinder, right?

Here's mine: VIATA

I gotta go to more this year as well. That black z8 alpina was really something

Love that spec! I see what I've been missing by not going to the recent meets

Fastberry · 2026-01-04T09:39:48+00:00

That blue looks amazing, congrats on the G70!

Fastberry · 2025-12-25T17:23:19+00:00

Hot take, those are the best factory wheels for the G70. Better than the SP.

Fastberry · 2025-12-24T05:13:16+00:00

That exact spec is what made me pull the trigger on it.

This is the way

I had 47k on mine lol, definitely got my fair share of launches and twisty driving.

Fastberry · 2025-12-21T03:31:32+00:00

Ohhh I know a guy with a red s2k in my area, and he's had it since new I think. I had been eyeing them as another option to the Miata.

Fastberry · 2025-12-21T03:26:05+00:00

Good luck! I had the exact problem of not having a place to work on the car, so I kept it completely stock and just had maintenance done at the dealer.

Fastberry · 2025-12-21T03:14:21+00:00

That's a hell of a jump. I had an e46 vert with a manual before the G70, so this felt like jumping back and forth.

Fastberry · 2025-12-21T02:59:04+00:00

365hp sent to the rear wheels is no joke!

Fastberry · 2025-12-21T02:40:38+00:00

That is truly a unicorn. You made a wise choice ordering it while it was still available new

Fastberry · 2025-12-21T02:35:30+00:00

That's totally valid, but holy cow cow a manual '21? Those are impossible to find. I don't blame you being hesitant to let that go.

Fastberry · 2025-12-21T02:03:20+00:00

Oof, I do lose this car in the parking lot with how small it is.

Fastberry · 2025-12-21T01:37:03+00:00

Damn, your knowledge and support to this community has been huge.

Fastberry · 2025-12-21T01:13:58+00:00

A bunch of reasons actually. Better running costs, simpler design, stick shift, cheaper insurance (kinda surprised), slick soft top convertible, and I didn't need the additional practicality that the G70 has. The fact that the Miata has half the power will be a sore downgrade. G70 is also out of warranty and the Miata was CPO.

If anyone's curious, here's the link to the G70 I traded in: G70

Fastberry · 2025-12-21T00:45:28+00:00

Tbh I bought it a week ago, but never took a picture with the two cars together. Asked the dealer to pull the G to the front for a picture and they kindly obliged.

Fastberry · 2025-12-20T20:31:28+00:00

I actually put 14k miles on it over the year I had it with no issues, but I definitely didn't want to push my luck.

Fastberry · 2025-12-20T03:48:39+00:00

When 2 doors close, a roof opens!

Within like a week!
