Excellent review, as always. I would so love to own one of these one day, but hard fpr me to justify as a seasonal toy.

You would be fine; they come in automatic.

You don’t think that is cheeky?  Or are you offended?

Doesn’t matter when he pokes and prods in other threads, eh?

You have a point.  Of the 8 people that post on these forums, half appear to drive manuals.

Two wrongs don't make a right.  In this thread, it was certainly unprovoked.  I also know that the two of you have been at loggerheads in essentially every single political thread we ever had.  So why start here, in a thread about an innocent little Miata?

Rossa Corsa, for one, but it gets put on cars literally 10x the price...

Every single political thread we ever had?  How long have I been a member here? Nice try though!

Given he has pushed many a person off these forums (I have received several PM's regarding this), the fact that you stay silent is curious.

I'd have to see it in person, side by side. I've seen plenty of red Ferraris where the paint didn't make nearly the impression that the Mazda red does. (The cars themselves are impressive as hell, natch.)

Had I known in advance, my neighbour has a Challenge Stradale! Not sure if Rosso Corso or Rosso Scuderia though. Looks better without the boy racer stripe. Other neighbour has a 2006 GT-40, also red.

It’s an excellent colour but is susceptible to chipping easily. Mazda paint is very thin .

Best wrap that hood then.  :) It's got a lot of depth, visually, for thin paint.

Beautiful car, I think I'd go for an RF myself if I had a choice for the power hardtop. I actually like the PHRT from the NC generation - it is indeed a full power hardtop convertible and not a fastback.   

Car guys that dismiss the MX-5/Miata usually have never driven one, or are insecure about themselves. :P

Yeah, a slightly modded MX-5 can eat up the track, I've seen it first hand how they can carry crazy cornering speeds & run away on you.
