Very high performance != Fun. They are different. They say Miatas are fun to drive, and they are cheap, and therefore popular to race. But they are definitely not fast cars. I have never driven one, but I have always favored RWD cars, and never driven a FWD car that is anywhere near as fun. But that said, I haven't driven everything.
- ethbr0 3y agoI came in a little hot trying to catch a yellow light on a left hand turn (US) and powerslid a Miata perfectly across 4 lanes... my second month of owning one and driving stick. That's the day I fell in love with 50/50 weight distribution, rear wheel drive, and low and light weight.
- zemvpferreira 3y agoPlease don't drive recklessly on public roads. Take it to a track if you want to go 'hot'. You'll have more fun and not put others in danger.

- ghostpepper 3y agoIt doesn't sound to me like it was intentional
- rationalist 3y ago> trying to catch a yellow light It sounds very intentional and reckless.
- ethbr0 3y agoOther countries and yourself may be different, but you'd find it difficult to find a US driver who has not tried to catch a yellow light.
- zemvpferreira 3y agoI have tried to catch many a yellow light myself and am still to slide one lane, let alone 4. Don't try to catch it from a mile away.
- ethbr0 3y agoHave you ever driven a manual Miata?
- B1FF_PSUVM 3y ago> != Fun You know what's not fun? Reading about a RWD car that slid into a roadside tree, killing the mother and child who had no training in drifting, like 99% of drivers. RWD cars, even with modern ESP etc, should simply not be sold to untrained drivers.
- tadfisher 3y agoThat's a little overblown, IMO. A FWD car is perfectly capable of understeering into the same tree.
