[foresterx]

mx5

Pros:
handles well
looks good
steering is really sharp
easier to drive
great out of the box track car

Cons:
2 seats only
very low ground clearance

wrx

Pros:
sedan
5 seats
powerful
more practical for daily driving
handles well
awd
top notch safety

cons:
gas consumption
interior is bare compared to it's cvt version
handles well but nothing compared to the mx5

if it's a weekend/track car i'd get the mx5, but if it's an all around car then getting the wrx is a no brainer. both are very reliable naman for a sports car.

Given the choice I will go with the Subaru Impreza WRX VABseries m/t
pros:
5 seats
Closes thing to an sti
Pwede pang family/daily drive/meetings
2.0 boxer engine
AWD
cons
Not as fun to drive as the mx-5

Pro
For show
track car
sunday car/toy car
project
I think it's targeting the buyers of the 86 and genesis coupe
Cons
2seater
Not practical for family men(if you are one)
smaller boot space

MX-5 for me and my girl... Mine & mine alone...

I still have another car for more utilitarian purposes.

Plus I still retain 130k in cash to budget for those extravagant road trips in the Miata.

thanks for the inputs guys.

really having a hard time deciding between these 2 cars.

my take - first choice is MX5 but because it is not easy to shell out 1.7M (2 to 3 years of hardwork ko din ito haha), im thinking to put a little practicality in it, so now im inching to increase the budget and get the WRX MT instead.

a little background about me
- single
- 30 YO
- our family have 2 SUVs and a compact car
- REALLY WANTED A TOY CAR!

50/50 talaga utak ko ngayon pero puso ko 100% MX5 hahaha!

If you heart says MX5, go with the MX5.

[testament11]

Pst, Chevy ST boi, mukhang pang :naughty2: mo yan ah

BTT: MX-5 na para may kapartner ang CX-5

[EQAddict]

Mx5. Its gonna be a keeper. Top down too to hell with practicality

[foresterx]

yup mx5 will be a keeper. yon nga lang lahat ng pa dating 1st batch this july sold na, so next batch ka na makaka kuha. if you can wait that long then mx5 ka na.

Mazda MX-5. It's the world's best selling roadster.

For now. Wait for about three years and the suspension is shot

[Newcomer123]

Is it that fragile? There are 20 year old Miatas around and are still rolling fine

[jick.cejoco]

Mazdas have weak suspension starting with the 90s

At least add something that supports your argument instead of just blurting out accusations

The MX5 has a very light chassis, highly doubt the suspension would be an issue, and if it is it's easy to change anyway

Gomenasai. I am not accusing, I had Mazda and I have seen mazdas in my area comparing to other cars.

I worked as a technician and still work on different makes and models with over thirty years if you might ask

[hypnos]

Personally, I will go for the roadster because I am after driving pleasure over speed.

But if you don't have a garage, I'd probably settle for the subie saloon. Less likely to get vandalized by envious haters.

[foresterx]

the mx5 is arguably the most reliable sports car ever made. just because your mazda had problems doesn't mean all of their cars will have the same problem.
