Is this worth getting as a Miata alternative
Somehow it hasn't been hit by the rice tax and the prices are around the range of similar year NBs

triggered.
it's MR, you either want an MR car or you don't.

They're both cheap ass Jap roadsters, I think a fair comparison can be made

This. Mr2 is a good car, but it's not an "alternative" to a Miata. The engine is behind the driver and passenger seat in an mr2, vs it being in the front of the car in a Miata. They have very different handling and tuning characteristics, and in the old mr2s they were transverse mounted engines. Personally I'd take an mr2 over Miata, but they're really different cars.

>i'd rather have fucked weight balance and snap oversteer than perfect weight balance and perfect suspension
uhhhh.... ok

if you say so, to me the lay out of a car is kind of important though .

Yes.
I am looking to get an zzw30 over a miata.
But they're not that comparable.
w30 has little storage space, enough to be practical but not as much.
It's also mid engined and aftermarket is much smaller.
If you get one watch out for the one problem:
precats.
Make sure the car you test drive has plenty power up high and doesn't burn oil. You can check that by revving while cold, if it emits shitload of smoke it has nibbled on its precat at some point.
Once you get one with no problem, get rid of precats and reset ECU and you'll be laffin

50-50 WD is not perfect. It's good for normies.
If you want to go real fast you want some rear bias for more grip.
It's midengined anyway so you'll btfo miatas in corners
Snap overmeme isn't a problem, liftoff oversteer is.
And the danger makes you and the car cooler.
