Miata Is Always The Answer (The RF Targa is available new for 30-35k).

Unique, sporty coupe that is very un-doctor-like, gets phenomenal fuel economy and is a riot to drive at the dull, legal speed limits imposed by the municipalities.

Seeing that CarMax listing, I can’t really disagree. That looks spiffy inside.

You must be a doctor.

Praise be ye whom places their faith in thine 4.0 litre, for it be the shepherd of the flock and beset upon the path of the righteous!

4.0's will fail, but they will always get you where you are going first. That is why every one I’ve ever owned is called, Searchlight.

This is good journalism. -Said no one ever

US Spec cars are officially as light as 2332lbs in some configurations (Sport), going up a bit from there with options to I think 2381lbs (GT). Brilliantly light and it doesn’t feel as though it lacks anything for the privilege.

Keep in mind, they have a nice interior, comfortable seats, full-featured touch-screen in…

Not relatable, she is nuts. She wasted peanut butter and vandalized the cars of innocent people. Furthermore, if you want to raise awareness and show you are better than *Insert ludicrous Candidate for President here*, being a dick and messing with other people’s possessions is a terrible way to go about it.

My grandma was always the bomb with Christmas gifts. “Oh you just got a Sega Genesis earlier this year for your birthday? Have a Beavis and Butthead video game to play on it.”

Well I think Toyota/Subi’s issue is that they only put one foot into it instead of developing an all DI system. I think their’s works but from owners I spoken to the tuning and drivability is less than would be expected for DI. The twinsies suffer from a nasty hesitation right in the meat of 4,000rpm as the car…

Toyota’s system using both DI and port injection and it is one of the worst implementations available. The benefits of DI are massive, particularly with transitional loads, low-end torque, and throttle response.

Direct injection is great. Unless you own a Toyota/Subaru, they can’t seem to make it work right.

That is possible for sure. It seems like a step backwards in design in any case compared to the existing Grand Cherokee.

That is the normal Wrangler update, not the rumored truckster. Though the image is blurry, you can see the spare wheel would interfere with tailgate swing as mounted and there is the standard issue Jeep handle to the left of the spare tire, indicating a right-ward outswing.

The Challenger might be the most Mercedes thing America has seen since the diesel powered W123 left us.

Miata has a 25k MSRP and is easy for find for 23-24k before negotiations. Getting the model with leather (GT) brings you up to a 29k MSRP, with wiggle room from there. Similar audience as the twins from price alone. Many have trouble accepting the soft top and lack of rear seats, no matter how useless the rears may be…

I’ve spent several hours road tripping in a 2015 BR-Z . It doesn’t scream quality to me and the 2017 updates do nothing to address my concerns. The Miata is cheap in all the right places and nicer where you’ll notice it most as an owner.

It is fair to acknowledge the subjective nature of it all, what bothers me may…

A co-worker went through two of them before getting into a Z06. The last one he had was a 2015 3.8L (R?) and I have to say it was a great looking car.

Agreed - they would have done better having unique sheet metal and interior tweaks (more than just texture changes) around the same chassis. Let Toyota throw a high-revving inline 4 under the hood with RWD only and offer an AWD-only Subaru with the option of an N/A boxer or small turbo boxer.

It does set the bar rather low. ;)

What are your thoughts on the Mustang, Camaro, and MX-5 interiors compared to that of the 86-twins?
