The Miata was a truly connected driving experience, with a fantastic transmission and "just enough" of everything...power, grip, balance and handling, braking power, ease of soft top function, etc, but most of my driving was on heavily trafficked highways where "just enough" wasn't enough. It's a great car to drive slow, but even driving "fast" in that car is slow. I really wanted something with more power, grip, comfort and even weight, with the same fun-to-drive aspects I loved in the Miata. The 370z fits the bill in all respects. I didn't actually look at the new Miata, because it is essentially the same driving experience as every other Miata before it, so it's a lot of money for the same thing. I probably will have another one in the future, and would have just kept it if I had the garage space...but something had to go and the 370z fills the same function, only better, lol!
