  1. I'm going to confess something. I have never driven a Miata. During all of the media events that I've gone to, it always has a wait and with so many other cars there that don't have waits, I can't be standing around waiting for a car. I have, however, driven the 124 spider and I really liked it. The handling is well balanced, steering supurbe and the engine willing. It's got a bit of grit to it that appeals to me.... just enough of the "old world" Italian roadster feel from the engine.
  2. Only here could we wander away from Italian badged Japanese built sports cars to be discussing Silverado mirror indicators.....

  6. Great write up! Thanks for stopping by again!
  7. 325/400 = 2.7T 375/470 = 3.5T
  8. Mustang is much more livable for day to day driving than Camaro for that reason
  9. Those sound like bugs. I'll report them later.
  10. Couldn't be that it has less usable cargo room than the tC? Or that somehow they made this tall hatch feel more cramped for rear passengers than the tC? This is just Toyota's version of a Juke without the frog eyes.
  11. There is a very specific reason for that. They are interference engines, so a timing belt going usually takes the engine with it. That means that if people don't keep up with maintenance... (see the thread on turbo engine longevity for my opinion on that), a simple belt failure can cause catastrophic engine failure.
  12. Of all the roadsters, I like this one the best. As much as I like big luxury cars, there is a part of me that wishes I had the garage space and time to futz with an old British roadster like a Triumph or Austin Healey. The Fiata is about as close one can get to a modern incarnation of those cars... which is blasphemy because it's an Italian name on a Japanese built car..... but it is what it is. Only the Z4 compares in atmosphere. I've never really cared for the looks of the Miata in any generation. It's for that same reason that I would like an old Saturn Sky Red-Line.... they hit the nail on the head with that car. It's a shame it didn't live on in another brand.
  13. The Volt, easy. Now had you posted a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse..... I might take a little longer to answer. The Acura never impressed me as being anything more than a fancy Civic... and barely that.... just like the ILX today.
  14. If you would be so kind as to do an experiment? See if there is a difference if you like/react to a post in a thread as opposed to reading but no reaction.
