2016 Ford Fiesta ST or 2016 Mazda MX-5?

1962 Ford Galaxie with a 427 and 3-speed gearbox.

That car literally weighs more than the two cars I listed combined.

fix'd
Thank god the 427 can be pushed up to 600hp without forced induction.

Fiesta ST, or wait for the MX5 RF

Get a Mazdaspeed miata and get the best of both worlds and spend the rest on a bigger turbo and intercooler and a tune, voilà 250whp at 2400lbs

Miata

The
Answer

You know the answer.

Not sure why you're comparing these, they're totally different.

>Ford
Faster
More space, seats 4
Wrong wheel drive
Shit reliability, especially with the automatic

>Mazda
Slower
Smaller, seats 2
Gay
Way more fun
RWD
Reliable
Literally a god machine even though it's slow af

>fiesta ST
>automatic

ya blew it

>autism
It's basically an automatic. Just even more unreliable

???
The fiesta st doesn't come in an auto

Actually the Fiesta St is slower in a straight line

how is a manual "basically an automatic?"

I mean, if this is the point where you tell me you were just pretending to be retarded, I guess I'd be okay with it

I sell cars Miata is the way to go

Guys guys guys
was saying that auto STs don't exist. thinks auto STs do exist, and he's saying that a DCT is basically an automatic, which incorrect, since it is not just basically an automatic, but 100% an automatic.

Is the Fiesta really that unreliable?

>an automated manual is 100% an automatic
b-b-but mah semantics!

>DCT is basically an automatic

Ok, I am likely buying a FIST in the next year, but this is the first I have heard of this.

It has a clutch. How is that not just a manual. What voodoo are we talking about.

If a transmission has a "D" mode, it's an automatic.

FIATA
IS
ALWAYS
THE
ANSWER

The ST come in manual only dipshit. No DCT. no auto.

>in my opinion
Cool story

>Initial D

>drive both
>make up your own damn mind

If you have a second vehicle I'd get the MX-5, if it's your only transportation I'd get the Fiesta.

They serve pretty different functions.

If you're getting an ST don't bother with a 2016, just get the cheapest one you can.

I really wanted to like the fiata. I think it looks fucking amazing and makes the miata look like it's angry retarded cousin, but they had to go and fuck with the engine.

I am looking at the used market for Fiesta ST's and the price difference between a used 2014 and new 2016 is barely $2k. I'll just buy new. Also, the 2016 has some slight upgrades from 14/15. (Ford Sync 3, and I think different ecu flash)

I haven't thought an MX5 look this goofy since the NC was born.

Vert+hardtop will cover all bases and save weight

>Fiat car
>Alfa engine
Well it will be more exciting, never knowing when your next breakdown will be.

What the fuck are you talking about. It's a mazda car (very reliable) with the Abarth 1.8T engine, which is known for actually being very tough, despite being Fiat built.
