I've owned one since 2018. It's okay; but honestly, wish I had my Mini Vert back.

Hard to explain, but it's just missing something I think the biggest depression is the sound...there's none. I know in 2019 they came out with an active exhaust, maybe that would help some. Car does look good though, always gets compliments.

Needless, no doubt I see myself trading this in on a Porsche Spyder soon.

The interior is all Miata...while the car looks larger, there's no more room in the cabin. Honestly, I cannot even find a place to set my cellphone.

Dog isn't overly happy with the space either...

18000 miles, garage kept, never seen snow, 6MT - a hair dressers dream.

My wife states that I'm only allowed to store one car for the winter. Can't believe this is the one that gets the preferred treatment. But, she is the boss.

You prefer auto? Ok, that's your thing. I had a turbo NC and the trans was fine. YMMV

Opposite here in the US. Not many want an auto on the used market lol

You'd rather a FWD car to a 124 or Miata? Wow. The 124 is turbo so just slap an intake on & the exhaust of your choice

I recall on the joke thread here someone posted this.
A Brit landed at Kennedy NYC to start his two week holiday and wanted a hire car. At the car hire desk he asked for a 'stick shift' vehicle and the salesperson said if you want one of those then go to the museum
