Bought a '91 miata NA

>bought a '91 miata NA
>took it to the touge
>I went slower on it than I did with my '13 Focus (neither ST or RS, SE mind you, 2.0L NA )and I went all the downhill scared shitless because of how light this thing is and how paper thin the doors feel, knowing that if I happen to slide into a tree I won't survive.

I feel I've wasted my money, I should have spend the $4000 in mods for my Focus.

$4000 of mods is pointless if you don't improve as a driver.

>he thought a bone stock 26 year old car will handle better than a reasonably well engineered 4 year old car
Shiggydiggydoo

Also, you're probably slower because you shit you'rese'fe in every corner and don't take it at nearly the maximum possible speed.

Miata is fun as long as you don't go too fast

>he buys an old underpowered car to go fast
kek
it's more fun to drive than your ford, that's why you should drive the miata. if you stop getting so worried about going fast and just enjoy the thrill of the toe gay then it will have been a good purchase. if you just wanted to go fast you should have just bought an f body or some shit.

fucking this

>I'm scared
>the car is at fault

the whole point is to be scared at only moderate speeds

>how paper thin the doors feel
they weigh 90 lbs each lmao

this

thats because miatas are slow and gay and the focus is actually good

>the focus is actually good

You've never been in one.

Shoulda bought a fiesta

>25mp and 15mph signs on bends, 45 on the straights
>mfw speeding to 70 on straights and taking those turns at 40mph
>Its the base model Fiesta S

You can pick one up for 4k at the same year as your focus.

Why would OP buy the same car but slower, smaller, and with a worse suspension.

>fwd
>more fun than rwd

>fast car
>better than slow car

yes

Because its better than the Focus in pretty much every way.
OP should sell his Focus and get a Fiesta desu.
Would fix all his problems.

>slower
In a drag race maybe.
Fiesta is considerably nimbler.
Not to mention that for a bit more of the price of a standard focus, you can get a Fiesta ST.
Focus is just the Fiesta for obese people.

buy the pacifica then, since speed is the only metric that matters

why the fuck did you buy a miata for 4k? was it in perfect condition?

4k is the going rate for a decent NA

Dumb frogposter

dumb frogposter

wish we could get a decent NA for 4k in Aus

Focus is faster and handles on par than an old miata.

>I'm scared to drive fast without several hundred kilograms of sound proofing, upholstery and infotainment cocooning me in a false sense of security.
>Is this the car's fault?

Then swap in doors from a '94-'97 because they're stronger. Done.

>t. someone who got t-boned by an SUV at an intersection and the car took it like a champ
They aren't as fragile as you think. I've seen plenty of rolled and rekt Miatas.
