Frs or nd miata Options

[Jmk91]

I'm looking for a non bias opinion on what car I should choose... I'll be buying one within the next year. Fixing a few hick ups on my credit currently I'm not paying 12% Apr... so if you had to choose what one would it be? The frs isn't really even a Toyota it's a subie so junk paint and the fa20 had a bunch of issues with first year models 2013s. Mazda on the other hand always failed the first time with the new model miata.. na the 1.6 sucked and no torsen. First 2 years of the nb had engine issues. The first 3 years of the nc had junk suspension (soft) and weak internals that where later replaced with forged. I think the miata will hold its value much better and probably better quality... but the frs has much more sex appeal. Both are in same price range. .. the miata is faster but has a 13:1 compression... the frs engines bend rods(often reported kinda a ticking time bomb once you add boost but that's almost any car) after 250whp. My goal is roughly 250whp maybe 275 tops. So if you had to choose what one and explain why.

the frs was fun to drive, and underpowered. Unfortunately, i did not see any benefit in spending thousands of dollars to keep it underpowered, unless going turbo, ,which meant voiding warranty, and tuning....

A used frs may be a different story. Depends how far you want to go. that car needed at least 250 if not 300 to feel a hmmmp...

Not sure about a miata, dont like the car, the name or the stigma, lol. But with the mods available, at better prices it can take you farther than owning a frs..
