Miata Feel

venus · 08-03-2013, 01:35 PM

Have you ever driven a Miata? How does it compare to a 370Z? Ok, everyone knows Miatas are perfectly balanced and you can whip one around like a conjoined twin. Mine fits me like a glove. How does the Z FEEL? Is there the same connection as with a Miata where it is an extension of your being? I need to dance with her.

I think the FRS/BRZ is your car then.
The 370Z isn't as balanced, but the speed makes up for it.

All that being said, never driven a Miata, I'd consider tracking one, but I'd NEVER own one, and yes, I do think they're

Contact owner "MX52Z" or something

you should be better looking at s2000 to compare against miata where you can throw the car around.

S2000 was a flash in the pan-no longer made. When I drove one it felt right tho but did not like the S2000 looks. Nice to have somethng with a race history in modern recreation.

My wife had an MX-5 and honestly the Z is not the same feel at all. Doesn't mean it's not a great car, just a different feel. I personally like the Z better but that's just my opinion.

I barely fit in a Miata. It's like a tight belt after a big meal. Friend from work likes it. I don't.

You would want the BRZ/FRS then.

Plus aftermarket for that car is much bigger than it is for the Z or miata.

Love the raw opinion

I love Miatas as well but I'm big in one and I prefer the Z for it's power. Going up hill the Miata suffers.

I had one tailgating me even though a car blocked my way ahead. When the slow car pulled over going up hill, I nearly stopped forcing the Miata to nearly stop as well, then I took off up hill with all that HP. I never saw the Miata again.

Lot's of Miatas at a race track for a reason.
