You're all pretty much missing the point.

I would rather own the lambo for obvious reasons. It would be more fun on rare occasions when you can get it out.

But on a daily basis, I would have more fun with the Miata. You could drive it any time, be less nervous about damaging it, and could actually play with it closer to its limits without being a danger to other motorists.

And way too many people hate on that little car. They are amazing to drive. Haters gonna hate. More Miatas race on actual race tracks than any other sports car.

Ever since NFS:Underground, I have always kept a special place in my heart for the Miata. I know someone with one, but sadly have never gotten to drive it.

shadoquad, well, I was making a silly joke with Miata being gay.

But as far as missing the point, I disagree. I think its just that we all like to do different things on the road. Yes, you can get closer to pushing Miatas, Dodge Neons, Chevy Cavaliers, and other weak cars when pushing them to their limits in a 30mph zone. Been there, done that. Yes, its a different kind of fun, but its not for me. I for example like to accelerate fast and occasionally sin on the roads. I am addicted to that, I guess... and Miata just wouldn't cut it for me at all. I also don't feel comfortable in small cars. So definitely no Miata for me.
Aventador... I would be having fun in that car on the first red light... even if its getting to 60 in less than 3 seconds... the way I would get pushed into the seat...

Neons and Cavaliers are not in the same class. Pretty bad comparison. The Miata is the best selling sports car over the past twenty years, although it faces declining numbers right now. It is a proper rear wheel drive car, has a nearly perfect front-back weight ratio. It is not some fwd slug. Take it to a curvy road, and it will reward you.

If gunning it at a red light is your pleasure, then good for you. Buy a drag car. The BRZ is not going to be a straight line car. I am much more of a cornering and back roads enthusiast. A Miata or BRZ suits me down to the ground. I drive my Z on the twisties. I didn't buy it to be a drag car.

Miatas ARE a blast... and it's why I love my DD... a 92 s-10 blazer.. because I can do **** like off road if i need, and I am not worried about people hitting me an ****

I've tried to make this exact point too many times on this forum and people just don't get it.

Same thing for the hate for the FRS/BRZ, I just don't get it myself but then again I am a very open-minded person when it comes to cars in general.

It's funny how many of you here hate on this car as though it's a competitor to the Z or that it lessens the Z in some way. It will be an affordable RWD sportscar with plenty of aftermarket options, some of you just need to accept that.
