    Header + exhaust + flywheel which causes insane gear noise + gutted interior means I have to have the top down as much as possible to keep from going deaf. And the extra $850-up for a hardtop is so much better spent on other parts.

    When you see a guy in a Miata it looks kind of fruity regardless of the top being up or down.

    That being said, I just got a 94 R package Miata 2 weeks ago and it is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

    And guys in tC's don't ? lol

    I think the tC is more of a ***** car then a Miata hahaha.

    Miata- Designed as a sports car, rwd, 2 seater. Used in hundreds of races, won countless trophies among alot of other things

    tC- Basically a Camry coupe. Built with the same concept of the Civic... to get college students to school and back and to haul groceries. Only racing the tC's ever did was the celebrity charity race....and they use them because they are slow and cheap to fix lol.

    You're trying to compare apples and oranges. I'm a huge Mazda fan, but I also have a tC. The Miata debuted in 1989 before the whole "tuner" scene existed; right before automakers lost their balls and started going FWD. The Miata was a car for the female that loved spirited driving. Yeah Miatas have been in many races due to the fact their RWD, compact, nimble, cheap, and they've been around for 20 years.

    Fast forward 16 years later and you have the tC; launched in 2005 in the middle of the "tuner" scene. Designed to be easily customizable, reliable, and fuel efficient. However, that is changing. For example, you have Chris Rado and his time attack tC:



    You also have Jackson-Dawson Scion:



    There is also a 739whp tC sponsored by Nitto:



    And most recently in the works, a RWD tC sponsored by Scion and RSR:



    So, please, cut the crap. Trying to talk trash about something you know nothing about isn't a good look.

    And suddenly you're a resident expert on the design and purpose of Mazda vehicles? Practice what you preach on the whole 'don't talk about what you don't know'....

    But if your comment holds truth about the Miata, then Corvettes are designed for balding old men with small ****s who never drive fast, Civics are designed for Asians, SUV's are designed for 5'2" soccer moms who have no kids, Camaros were made for rednecks, and the list of assumptions like your's can go on and on.

    It's a fact that the tC was designed to be a cheap, economical vehicle that was "fun to drive" and purposefully aimed at a younger generation of buyer...as were ALL the "Scion" brand cars.


    What's the point in this? You shouldn't just come in going "Miatas with the top down make and guy driving them look gay" when you don't even know anything about them.
