Geez, if you guys think the Miata is underpowered, buy an S2000 already......
Well... They're getting increasingly hard to find, and the one day I buy one, I would want it to be PERFECT. Lol
73 posts and you don't even have an S?

16, turning 17. An S2000 is my "attainable dream car" =p
I just lurk and chime in every now and then

The Miata guys ain't bad, except when it comes to NA vs NB vs NC and now ND. Criminy, they are a serious as a brain tumor over there fighting about which is best. The ND isn't even out yet and there list of complaints is a mile long.


No glove box.
The cupholders are in a weird spot
too many gizmos
4 lug wheels
The brakes are too small.
no Retractable Hardtop.
Not light enough
Not enough power
Too much power
headlights are too small
taillights are too small
no good license plate placement
too italian
too small
too big

And along with all these complaints: "WELL MAZDA JUST LOST A SALE FROM ME".

S2000 folks are way better, but I wonder what would happen if there WAS a new S2000. It's bad enough with the whole AP1 Vs AP2 debate...

To their defense, 4 lug is a definite negative IMO.

I am sure there is a lot of things they could find wrong with the car, my point is there are some really negative people over there that only have bad things to say. You can't please all people all of the time but in this case, you can't please some people EVER. I just don't get how a group of people who drive roughly the same car could have such bad things to say about each others cars...

Like I said though, most people are cool, a lot of tension about the new design though...so far.

Why exactly? My Miata was 4x100 and it had 15"x9" wheels with 225 tires. What would I have gained by a 5 lug arrangement?

I've found that there are a wider selection of wheels available with 5x114.3. I used to have a mk1 jetta that was 4x100 and finding wheels I liked was a pain.

Then again, appropriate wheel sizes were 13 and 14" so maybe the world opens up at 15" 4x100.

They will sell enough Miatas that there will be wheel choices, if there aren't already.
