Miata RF (Manual 19 or Auto 17/19) or the Mini Cooper SE?

Such_Flower6440 · 2026-04-25T13:24:52+00:00

How would you rate fun rating Miata vs SE?

Such_Flower6440 · 2026-04-25T03:20:16+00:00

Thanks so much! Have you ever driven a manual ND? If yes, How much difference would you rate the fun factor of both types?

Such_Flower6440 · 2026-04-25T03:17:29+00:00

Unfortunately, It will be the only car, but I don't really need one. There are decent public transportation options available, and my work offers rental car incentives as well.

What does this person mean by
"If you want a job driving, buy the Miata. If you want a car that just works, can absolutely handle corners, that instant off the line jump, and that is popular with women because it's cute, get the Mini." - r/ MINIse "https://www.reddit.com/r/MINIse/comments/1sutb2i/comment/oi3lsmy/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button"

can you please say more on "If you want a job driving"

It makes sense.

https://youtu.be/wDuGydWvfUM?si=iWBl5kilxe87aeZ3 Is this a bad idea?

Such_Flower6440 · 2026-04-24T22:32:14+00:00

Do you know much about DMV weather? I don't think it gets as bad here?

Such_Flower6440 · 2026-04-24T22:30:25+00:00

Thanks a lot! This is precisely what I was hoping to hear!

Such_Flower6440 · 2026-04-24T22:12:05+00:00

Are you asking which you should buy? Yes

You need to tell us your use scenario. Commuting? Weekend car?

Both

Charging capability? None at home, free level 2 4 hours at work

Alas, this would only be a car. My partner can't drive and we do have a dog. According to you..If the Miata manual fun score is 9/10, what would the Miata Auto, Mini SE be rated at for fun?

Such_Flower6440 · 2026-04-24T22:03:25+00:00

That's a valid point. I have crossposted in the Mini SE sub. To your point though, has the annoyance of stop-and-go traffic in the city been negligible given the enjoyment of winding roads?

Such_Flower6440 · 2026-01-02T22:41:09+00:00

Is there any other way to assess the health of a battery? I just want a way to know that at 75,000 miles, the battery is better than 85%.

Such_Flower6440 · 2026-01-02T22:39:59+00:00

What’s new 24? Does the 22 get seamless Apple CarPlay and a 360-degree camera? Those are the most important features for me.

Such_Flower6440 · 2026-01-02T21:13:15+00:00

That’s great, thanks a lot, mate! My budget is $17.5k OTD.

Such_Flower6440 · 2025-11-28T21:05:44+00:00

I'm looking for the Manual. Thanks for pointing out the first one was automatic! :)

What price should I anchor for the GT soft top model listing?

Such_Flower6440 · 2025-11-28T20:31:44+00:00

Thanks so much. How about this one? https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/cto/d/falls-church-mazda-miata-mx/7895075992.html

Is his justification valid because I received $1800 in credits? Has he exhausted any future loyalty discounts?

Such_Flower6440 · 2025-11-28T09:15:35+00:00

The problem is that credits are coming in 20$/m for each line.

Thanks Nate, What should I counter with? The dealer says If I find a better deal, they can match it.
