The Cult of The Miata is strong, and I wouldn't be surprised if you're correct.

- wing-_-nuts 4y agoYe gods tho. An ev miata could be an absolute blast if it adhered to its original principals.
- brodouevencode 4y agoMaybe, but half the fun of a Miata is the manual. An automatic Miata is just gross.
- wing-_-nuts 4y agoOk buzzkillington. I test drove both the 6 spd auto and the 6 spd manual. The manual was alright but the auto was way more livable in stop-and-go city traffic, especially for someone like myself with a messed up ankle. Better fuel economy, quieter on the highway, same acceleration, and if I want to mix things up on a curvy mountain road, I can pick gears with the flick of a paddle shifter. Go for the stick if you want, but don't hate on people who choose different.
- brodouevencode 4y ago:) to each their own. I always thought of Miatas as weekend cars. If it's your daily then yeah the stick would get old quick.
- nebula8804 4y agoAn EV Miata would just be rebadged Toyota tech since Mazda does not have the money to produce the tech themselves. Fun fact: The head of design of Tesla left Mazda after years of trying to get a serious EV initiative going. He complained that it was always going to be a side project over there so he gave up.
- wing-_-nuts 4y agoI'd buy an 86/brz ev in a heartbeat if i had somewhere to charge it
