Lately I've been thinking... a dangerous passtime I know.

So lately I've been thinking about a lot of other cars. two are really starting to look pretty good. The VW GTI/VR6 and the Mazda Miata MX - 5. I guess you could say I'm in "Car Limbo"

I guess I want a change form the slight muscle that I have now. Has anyone driven either of these in the newer models like 2000 up. are they fun to drive, fast/zippy, comfortable.

So the question being should I get one of those and give up my stang and if yes, why and which one, and if not why?

I need some piece of mind either way I go...

I can vouch for that. The kid at my school with two gay dad's has one of them.

I wish there was an emoticon for the feeling I have after reading that last post...

Yeah... Unless its a Monster Miata and strickly for track running, dont get it. I can vouche that a VW VR6 is about as bad as the Miata... All the girls at my school drive em... Cant you find REAL cars? that dont have wrong wheel drive?

Reikat · 06-13-2007, 02:56 AM

...ok... in my town no body really drives gti's... lik eI see one or two once or twice a month. And Miatas are rear wheel drive.

But I was also thinking about an SRT-4. I used to have a Neon and that was really fun to drive, so I can imagine a turbo charged one.

un-biased opinion here!

i LOVE a cars. i LOVE miatas. am i gay? hell no. i have an appreciation for imports and euros as well as my mustang and family of Fords. i will always remain loyal to Ford and the mustang, but i would love to try out other stuff. you guys are sounding very ignorant because the GTi and Miata will both hand your asses to you n a road course, and with the right tuning, on the drag strip. all the while getting better gas mileage and actually having interiors that match their price.

that being said, i wouldn't want a miata as my sole means of transportation. they just are not practical. hell i hate my mustang for that reason. i can't haul sh*t in it, and it is even worse with my sub box. and that makes it a b*tch since i have to move back and forth from home to college a couple times a year.

but seeing the car that you have now, i just can't see you affording either of those two cars or an SRT4 unless you put everything you make into the bank. even stepping up to a 99-04 V6 or GT would make a BIG difference in your satisfaction with Mustangs. i absolutely hate SRT4s though. [:'(]. but i respect them because they are fast as hell and easily tuned.

if you do have the money for a new car, i would look into a used SVT Focus (2003 or 2004 with the Euro Package: Recaro heated seats, HID headlights and different wheels) or a Mazda 3. even a used WRX or Forester XT (the turbo one with the same engine as the WRX. they have a small, but faithful following and i have seen some insanely modded ones that are just plane SICK!).
