The Miata RF gts I got is an amazing machine. Not quite as fast as the Z, but there is something magic about this tiny car.
Lol. I've been eyeing the RF Miatas since they were released.

although we always complain about the Z's been a 10 years old car with very very minor update, however, we also, always appreciate the Z being a sports car with raw control and drivability.

Sometimes, I think it is good to keep the Z as is, as raw.

If there's ever a new Z, it might comes with all those electronic gadgets, a turbo with a small 4-banger.

In that case, I really rather keeping the current Z.


Back to the Z roadster, I feel bad about it because it is a good convertible, good value, there's not many roadster/convertible in this kind on the market.

With the discontinuing of Z roadster, it means the consumers has less choice in this category.

I agree. That's what I like about the Z, it's like a no frills sports car, almost a throwback.

Miata RF in the family here too this past weekend. Not mine, but really nice to look at and drive. It is kinda crazy going into a car that shifts more...normal than a Z. That alone just makes a difference in perceived driving practicality, and quite frankly, enjoyment.

Been always hearing
"it's fun"
"doesn't matter if it's not fast"
etc

and as worn-out as those comments sound, they're so true. The RF, albeit heavier, is icing. I personally like the option of having a solid roof over my head.
