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.

Well I wish I didn't have to buy a new one haha. Frs well a decent frs is 2014 or newer. The nd miata just came out. The nc miata is very ugly... the na/nb miata everyone wants way to much for a high mileage car. The bmw z3 handles awful. So I don't really have any other options for handling machines. The mr2s have snap steer well the mk2 anyway I had one lol. The last gen mr2 is definitely not a car I'd ever get into. (Even know people make jokes about the miata it is the most raced car in the world). I'd love to get a g37/370 but I couldn't afford the payment currently. The Mustang isn't for me everyone has one. The camaro interior is awful... I used to detail cars on the side. They scratch very easy and the body panels do not line up well. If I could find a good nb worth actually buying I'd take that over the new car purchase. K miata makes a kit to drop in a k series honda right into na or nb. If anyone who reads this doesn't know what a k series can do YouTube k20 mr2.
