    Nice one foresterx. I also really like it but sadly its a manual and while i cut my teeth on manuals, i really cant stand them for city use.

    It beat the brz by 2 seconds in identical conditions in willow springs. Its also faster 0-60 and in the quarter mile. I saw a video comparo somewhere in autoblog.

    available din matic locally but the difference in performance of the matic and manual is huge.

    like i said i think the only reason the mx-5 is faster is because of it's tires. equip both cars with the same tires and i can guarantee that the outcome would be different. nag tipid kasi toyobaru sa tires ng brz/86 kinabit pang prius pero kung performance tires ang ilagay nila mas magiging ok talaga. kung equipped with same tires tingin ko magiging advantage lang ng mx-5 is tight corners pero around the track mahihirapan talunin brz/86.

    anyway baka this weekend our group will be able to compare both since one of our members got an mx-5. both will be equipped with stock tires then re-11's.

    not sure about the specs in paper if there are any difference but once you drive it the response of the a/t miata is far from the m/t version. mahina hatak ng a/t and the throttle response sucks.

    i'm getting this one but i'm debating between the a/t and m/t. went to mazda cebu last saturday supposedly to test drive both but they do not have units for test driving they priced the m/t at 1.7M (plus 20k for the soul red) and a/t at 1.880M (plus 20k for the soul red). with your comments about the "hatak" and its throttle response (and,of course, the price difference) honestly, i'm leaning towards the m/t. my question now is, how about the clutch or the clutching, isn't that hard? that was my complaint with my FD before. TIA

    Definitely the MT. It's just gonna be a weekend car anyway. You'll get the most fun driving on mountain roads with a manual MX5.

    wala namang MILF o MNLF o ASG o NPA dito. fyi i was part of the team that verified cebu province as insurgency free. i don't think driving an mx5 is a security risk. a very small car with relative speed and torque is even a plus because it is nimble enough to easily wiggle out to safety.

    Saktong sakto for the MT. I drive hundreds of kilometers of provincial roads per week, and it's really much more fun doing it with a manual.

    You don't get stuck in traffic that much in Cebu, yeah? So no need to compromise your driving fun by getting an automatic for a Miata. It's not tiring I tell you.

    i'm stationed in the northern part bro. so, after danao city, traffic is already very light. i travel around 300 kms more or less a week. i have no problem with thieves slicing its soft cover. i don't consider it as a security issue. thieves are territorial. and in a small community like ours everyone knows who's who. i'm almost decided sa m/t but niky is saying mx5 auto transmission is responsive and fun. i wish i could test drive both para walang regrets. the problem is, wala silang pang test drive and we only have one dealer dito. anyhow, i weigh heavily in favor of the m/t.

    As per the AT, Juan... that woiuld matter if you lived in Manila. Considering where you are... MT... easier to maintain over the long term, and playing with the stick is a great stress reliever.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    This maybe the present truth as the 86 is the old dawg here.....but OVT has been making progress. Give it time, good sir. I've seen dynos on tuned SkyActiv 6s, 3s, CX5s, Sky D & they're impressive....both on stock hardware; on light reversible mods like JBR intake & RB exhaust.... Headers are out & Turbos are being readied now.

    Both are great cars to keep.
    I've to admit I'm drawn more to that roadster simplicity.
