No. I’m sure it’s fun but the lack of space might be impractical if I ever have to move.
What’s the RF model? I don’t have a garage, and I live an hour northwest of Manhattan.
It's the removable hardtop, as opposed to the convertible soft top
Interesting someone once asked something like that to me with my Miata. I said if I have to move something its a 1 day event so I rent or borrow a truck. I preferred to drive what I like 365 days a year. Not pushing you though. Miatas are not for everyone. They are well made though. Always felt like they were a bargain. Always enjoyed driving them despite my history in Vettes and Porsche.
Some Miata board people love the RF but its not for me. Guess I'm old school
One negative of a drop top is they can be cut in high crime areas. Happened to me back around 1994.
Exactly.
Nope, you're right and they're wrong lolSome Miata board people love the RF but its not for me. Guess I'm old school
I'm one of those not-rich guys that live in a high-income town, so for me that's usually not an issue.
You were using it as a daily driver?Interesting someone once asked something like that to me with my Miata. I said if I have to move something its a 1 day event so I rent or borrow a truck.

What’s the issue with the soft top and snow?
Yes Miatas can be driven. Best cars mechanicaly I have owned. Most people daily drive them. Not only built well but also easy to work on.
Didn’t know that. I don’t really trust myself to buy a used car, and buying a new/CPO car 3 years after buying a new car sounds like a poor financial decision. On the other hand I’ve known people that go through cars all the time. I put so many miles on my car I probably won’t have to wait that long for a new one.
My aunt leases a new car every 3 years. Everyone is different. You know your situation. If a used car makes sense for you maybe you can find someone to help you? Your current car is a "used car". Plenty of used cars are fine. I sold my Miata when I moved. It was my daily driver. It was 17 years old when I sold it.
Yeah I mean I do know people who could help. I don’t know, the trouble is I’m just bored and I drive a lot.
Well test drives are free, You can test drive to quench your boredom. Me and my ex used to go window shopping at high end dealerships many weekends with little intent to buy.

I wouldn't buy a car today without push to start... I have no interest to going back to the days of having to fish out my keys to get going.
It looks like someone moved across the country in it or something, but overall it seems sparingly driven. New brakes.I mean... I like it.
Some things to note, it's an Mk7 Autobahn, so it has that weird sensor in the lower grill (Mk7.5 moved the sensor into the VW logo), and it has the smallish infotainment screen that is resistive, rather than capacitive like the Mk7.5).
That auction finished around $15,000 above MSRP.I mean... I like it.

No worries.
Thanks. It makes me nervous looking at the wheels but I guess I can be careful and learn how to change a tire.
Good news is the 2nd side went on around 10 minutes faster since I had experience. Bad news is I broke a small plastic tab to the splash shield. It really does not matter but maybe one day I will try some JB Weld on it. While doing the left side I saw a small screw was missing to my fender. That screw is not needed either but maybe one day I will replace it. Not worth pulling the bumper off again. Anyway my bumper looks good again.View attachment 859537
This is a 3 inch piece of plastic. My local BMW dealership wanted $90 each. I needed 2. I got them from a BMW dealership online for $45 each. My front bumper was torn off by a parking stop. I fixed the right side in 25 minutes with 2 small cuts on my hand. I had never done it before so there was a bit of a learning curve. I will do the left side in a little while. Wish me luck.
Everyone really should know how to do this. I know we all have roadside assistance (or you should), but I've been in situations where I had to wait 3 hours for a tow when my gf's timing belt snapped. Anyone can change a tire in less than 15 minutes.
, I thought of Ralphie's dad in a Christmas Story when he had his wife time him like he was a member of a pit crew. LOL.
