Meh... the color is nicer than the car.

i didnt read the article but is it much heavier than the canvas top?

i think i like it.

I didnt see weights but with it being retractable its gonna be heavier, i dunno by how much though. Attractive though.

UNKNOWN_370 04-04-2016 05:43 PM

I hate verts as a whole. But I think in this case. I prefer the vert.

Man those new miatas are looking really good. Too bad they refuse to turbocharge it, I would have seriously considered it.

From what I've read it's supposed to add about 100 lbs. It would probably feel like a downgrade from the Z, but I really like it.

From the back they look "kinda" like a mini F type. Needs at least 50 more HP with its current weight.

thanks for the info.. dang, dat is kinda heavy for a light car like this new miata.. but considering the cool factor i can see people wanting the retractable top.

i wouldnt trade my Z for it, but it is definitely up there in the 'looks like fun!' cars. :D

Agreed. This is the only vert I'd consider outside of a Ferrari California. So Mazda should take that as a compliment. But it would need at least 220hp in my book to purchase one. 4C engine swap anyone? Can we make it

FlyingI Miata will make a turbo kit for it and should add the much needed HP
Really dig the Targa look

Firebase99 04-06-2016 08:39 PM

Yea I think it's beautiful. If it had 230hp, I might be in one. 195 to the wheel. Fair enough.
