This isnt really a miata thread but the ND my friend drives got me thinking of this.
I seem to have more fun in lightweight cars. Been in some powerful heavy muscle cars, GT, SS Chargers also used to drive my brothers ford lighting which was factory supercharged.
They where great cars but I feel like you get a beter driving experience on the road with a lightweight smaller car
TLDR: Lightweight cars = more fun
this has been known for a long time.
thing is people with masculinity issues see lightweight fun cars as gay/weak/girly.
Also smaller lightweight cars aren't really that practical to DD.
That being said most people (being Americans) care about stoplight to stoplight racing and highway pulls so small nimble low hp cars like the miata, frs and such does not matter to them.

Thats the only metric that matters on daily driving. Nothing else.
That's a shame that more people don't give lightweight cars a shot. think they would be genuinely surprised at how much they enjoy it
I have owned 3 cars in my life (only 21)
First car - European BMW V6
Second Car - Japanese Miata NC I4
Third Car - American Ford Mustang V8
I have no brand loyalty, however since I do live in Floirda and all we have are flat roads and shit drivers. The best car for this location is an american V8 all the way. Its safer, faster than 99% of the other cars on the road so overtakes aren't an issue, and opening up on the throttle and lifting off on the daily commute is more satisfying than taking a turn fast imo.
Hated having to redline my miata to pass a fucking altima. But each car has a niche.
>bmw v6
Uwot
not everyone lives in Florida though.
California has a shit ton of beautiful twisty roads and thats where low hp lightweight cars thrive
Same as anal, but hey, to each his own.
this is the type of person with masculinity issues I was talking about earlier
But user, Americans have made one of the lightest closed-wheel cars on the road today.
