The sad thing is that this will not homologate Toyota’s Rally1 contender, because from 2022 all of them will be based on a spec-tubular chasis with a silhouette body on top of it.

Will you have a charging point at home? I live in a city and park my car in a collective garage which makes it more difficult (but not impossible).

As an European, this is very true. Even though our lifestyle is probably far more adapted to EVs than the US the inconveniences are still there. Up to the point that I still wouldn’t consider an EV as my next car.

Three things:

I think it is good to have as soon as possible. Even if you don’t drive much you never know when it can come handy.

Except that this MX-5 eletrification malarkey will probably be just a mild hybrid, which counts when manufacturers say “fully electrified line up”.

I had this problem when I bought my current car, even the standard option were leather seats.

Ah I understand, if you stick to the speed limit I understand it is a much more prevalent issue.

Speed up and leave them behind?

In small (and cheap) cars they only add cost, complexity and weight. So unless you really need them (Japan has other idiosyncasies which are not repeated else where in the world like kei cars) the disadvantages outweight the advantages.

Rear Parking sensors.

No Dacia? Also most French cars are usually best in base model-spec.
