Also kinda interesting that the MX5 RF Club is nearly the exact same price as the Prelude. I don't really hear as many people complaining about the MX5 pricing.

Oh, and look how tiny the MX5 looks in comparison! The Prelude looks like a giant next to a Miata.

I would prefer the MX5, anytime.

My ex had a 944 35+ years ago and always promised himself a 928.

He bought an MX5 instead after the Porsche saved his life when he fell asleep on the motorway…

Actually thinking about it the neighbours got the hard top for his mid engined MX5 too.

Dreamt I was rallying around Tallaght with Chuck Billy in an MX5

Reminds me of that time in Mangere Bridge when I saw a Mazda MX5/Miata, with two Tongan flags, each of which was twice as big as the car

🚗 🇹🇴🇹🇴

I'm sure @yakhunt.net would agree with the MX5 suggestion. He might even have one, only light scratching in the roof.

A mate of mine had a Mk 1 MX5 with pop up headlights. If you kept switching the lights on and off they would go out of synch and the car could wink! 😉
From tail fins and chrome to V8 muscle cars, the 1950s to 1990s gave car design a freedom that today's wind-tunnel era rarely allows.

Very interested to see how the first year of US sales go.

That MX5 RF automatic stat is from 2019 I believe, so it may be a bit different now

Everyone should have a gigantic friend for comedy value! An old biker friend of my dad was a 7 footer, dude was like a cross between Santa and Hagrid, had to turn sideways to get through doors! Watching him try to get in a Mazda MX5 was one of the funniest things I've ever seen lol!

I remember the Scimitar squeaking a lot, Boxster felt solid and MG was decent. We had an MX5 NA and it had an additional brace behind the seats, which made a difference.

Makes sense to me. The trainees here (accountancy firm) drive stuff like BMW 330e's and Audis. I sound such an old fart when I tell them the money would be better off in a pension or paying down their mortgage :D

Want something fun? Buy an older MX5 or something. We've got a 17 plate Fiat 124...

My dad had a Z3 2.2 while I owned my NA MX5. I borrowed the beemer for a weekend. My conclusion? The Zed sounded lovely and had a far comfier cabin, in design and ergonomics, but is absolutely a boulevard cruiser. The Mazda is clearly a driver’s car, and would be my choice.

Z3M could sway me.

I can't figure out the target market for the Prelude, but last time I checked ~50% of MX5 RF sales were automatics, so customers must be out there. Just not sure how many 🤔

GR86 is definitely more fun. Prelude has better interior, MPG, comfort—but how many sports coupe customers care about that?

Please, entire families and their luggage used to cram into a Fiat 600 to go to the seaside, an mx5 might as well be an s class in comparison…

And now I'm ready to get back into Advanced Mazda/PCC😼
(Maybe one day we'll have a MX5 cup in real life?)

You have to do it. If you can convince your friend then you can convince an audience.

The Miata/MX5 needs to survive and sales are caused by promoting it.

And you’re a natural, obviously.

I had the special fitted luggage set for my beloved Fiat Barchetta. That’s long gone, but I still have the set. I was delighted to find it fits my MX5 perfectly.

To our drivers: There's a blank template of this available for you to edit right now! Check the Team Announcements page!

To fans: A Trading Paints version of this will be coming soon, just like the older MX5 from a few years back! Stay tuned for more info on that one when we have it
