So... who's gonna be the first to buy one?

Ya I have a FRS I'm selling and reason? Hard as hell to get in and out of. Thought I'd eventually get past it but is a real pain in ass.

 

Makes sense for the car with the second lowest center of gravity in mass production. I'd love an FRS but I'd probably end up getting rid of it in a year like I did with my Juke. I got past the looks of that thing because the year round performance was pretty amazing for the price tag, and I still ended up bored with it in 12 months.

 

^You could always hold out for the 2016 and see what the MPG fairy is going to bring it. God knows there's enough other threads speculating it.

 

A Tundra with the 5.7 L gets absolutely terrible mileage, far worse than the Tacoma.

 

Just got myself a 2014 and I am on the fence for the 2016. Not sure if I actually like them. Only time will tell if I like the 2016.

 

I've had many different cars over the years, from 500hp 442 to 5.0 mustangs and e30 Bmw but the Miata's always put a smile on my face. Here's the current Red turbo miata in the stable.

 

I plan to keep my 2013 for at least 15 years.

 

WOW They are both beauties. Love the blue color as well. A lot of people ask mw why I would go from a Corvette to a Miata, I just enjoy the roadster aspect of both. Plus the vette has crappy technology that is 10 years old.

I drove the mx5 and it was a hoot. I can pull that behind a RV motor home as well.

 

Better a miata than any mustang. .

The new one is sweet. And s2000 mr2 or miata, something about those little driving cars are soo much more fun than a mustang vette or similar.

I used to be the first one to say the miata was a chick car but seriously give one a chance they are so much more fun than you would expect.

Its like riding a 600 vs a zx14. One is or has potential to be ungodly fast. The other has power you can use and enjoy to the fullest! There is a place for each but day to day the miata is a blast!

 

Well Ya if Honda re introduced a S2000 I'd seriously consider it. For their time they were great indeed.

 

Best roadster currently is the BMW Z4. Runs like a spotted ape.

 

I forget about the beammers..

I really love the little roadster experience for fun. But I can't stand to drive a car anymore, being over 6 ft makes for a tight fir in most roadsters. Mr2 is not bad. S2000 wasn't bad. Not sure about the z3 or z4 I haven't look much because beamers maint sucks. The miata I have never looked seriously at because they look so girly. The new miata looks better!

The car I would get if I was ever getting a little fun car for fun.. would be a Lotus Exige.

 

Ap1 you get the 9200rpm, Ap2 you get the better car.. hard choice, they were both pretty awesome.

 

I had a 328i back in the day. BMW is a good car to lease. Would not want to own one or any German car past the warranty period.


This is nice and Yummy

 

Saw a dude today tooling around in an '05, I think, that had been heavily modified to look more like a 60's British roadster...complete with roll cage. No way the top was going back up on that.

Couldn't take pics because I was driving. I need the 2016 Tacoma with a GoPro so I can film some of the other interesting "cars" (by definition) that are rolling around Austin. Y'all gotta see the Geo Metro El Camino to believe it.

 

I would personally wait until a few years into the "new generation"

 

This, it will be a solid truck just how toyota is, but it will have some bugs the first few years just as the 05's did, etc.

 

13 to 18 mg is about a 30%. That's the same difference between 20 and 30 mpg when you talk percentages. I don't mind my truck getting 18 mpg, but at 13 mpg I wouldn't be able to afford driving it if gas prices climbed.

The truth is if you don't mind the size you should go with a full sized truck anyways. The Tacoma is built for the person who wants something easier to maneuver both on road and off. Not to mention it's lighter which I find makes a big deal in drivability overall than a full sized truck. Really at the end of the day as long as you don't buy the Tundra you'll get 15 mpg or better real life with anything Ford, Chevrolet, or Dodge makes as long as you don't go for a +6 L sized V8.

 

The sound this car makes is hypnotic. I wouldn't trade my truck for one obviously but it is one of the prettiest (semi affordable) cars on the road IMO.

That car is pure sex.
