F-grade on Fakespot with nearly 60% questionable reviews. The reviews that are 1-star make this sound like it could be completely useless for actually starting most passenger cars.

Alfa 4C seems like the most obvious choice given its supposed to be simple, lightweight, manual steering, etc.
The main problem with the 4C isn't the 4C at all, it's the Lotus Elise. See, people were clamoring for a stripped down sports car in the mid 2000s, so Lotus sent one over: The Elise. It sold really well for about two years and then the sales slowed a lot.
The price for the PP has already been confirmed at $1885 instead of $1500, they're separate model codes in VW's system now. They are listed on Truecar/edmunds now.
Thanks Doug, I'm using this thread as negotiating ammo when the dealer tries to gouge me on my Performance Package GTI order when it comes in.
Wow, you could not possibly be more wrong. The comparisons to carbs and ignition are apples and oranges. We use our hands and feet to control cars right? Dramatically altering the way our hands and feets operate with a vehicle via pedals, gearshifts and steering wheels changes the driving experience.
The New York City Council just passed a bill to drop the city speed limits on residential streets to 25 MPH, from 30 MPH. Under the guise of protecting pedestrians, the New York City Council has diminished Freedom. While their goal is noble, the Council decision is Wrong. One Raphael Orlove thinks they're right.
Well, here you go. According to Mazda's press kit for the auto show, most global markets will see the 2016 Miata powered by a 1.5 liter engine (which we had already heard and really, really didn't believe... whoops!), but, and this is a first in Miata-land, the US market will have the car powered by the familiar 2.0…
There is some serious reading comprehension problems going on here, the original article from Automotive news states a "hardtop" model is coming later, NOT a coupe. This is much more likely to be the PRHT (power retractable hard top) model similar to what is currently found on the Miata.
I sincerely hope that all this Fiat/Alfa Romeo back and forth over the Joint Venture with Mazda means we will end up with a Abarth engined MX5 car in the next couple years.
Wrong
The retractable top only adds 80 lbs to the car, raises and lowers in 9 seconds, and has zero impact on trunk space. Is there any other cars with retractable hardtops that can make this claim? Google: "Miata soft-top slashed" if you can't imagine why some people would want this.
I fail to see how the Dual-clutch car with a Turbo 4-cylinder Fiat engine is the enthusiasts choice over a Flat-6 N/A engine with an available 6-speed manual transmission. The Alfa is dead sexy but is far less practical and doesn't make a strong case for sports car purity with a turbo engine and flappy paddle.
I don't care what race car drivers do, I care about what makes the car the best to drive.
I love Everyday Driver, I think they do amazing shoots on a small budget and have a good on-camera personality. But here, I don't think they really analyze enough about what a "everyday driver" means. The RX-8 and the S2000 especially were very much more expensive than the FRS new, even years ago. The insurance on the…
