newer miata, or old school miatas
 
1. New miata (2006)
2. Older Miata (other)

which miata would you prefer, the bigger and stronger 2006 miatas? Or older models?

I like the styling of the 2006, but aftermarket-wise, the older models are superior

Fritch 01-20-2007 02:39 AM

older, no contest

Buying a new Miata seems silly. Thats used S2k money and the Miata is slower, uglier, and has a shittier interior.

Savington 01-20-2007 04:22 AM

The NB is the better car, but the NA is the better Miata.

I would never consider buying an '06. Like WOT said, that's used S2k money.

y8s 01-20-2007 10:40 AM

ok lets assume his question is :

1. New miata (2006)
2. Older Miata (other)

not 3. used s2k.

I like my 2001 for cruising with turbo, but I'd consider a barebones early car for bombin around in. maybe even a high strung 1.6.

hustler 01-20-2007 10:43 AM

my roomate has an 06. That's a girl car. It may be faster or whatever all the way around, but its boring. The torque is really nice though.

I didn't buy a miata to cruise around in for a nice looking daily driver, I bought it to beat on at the track...one day.

My car is the slowest miata on earth, but its super fun to drive.

First gen 1.6 is the best when upgraded with a torsen and bigger brakes

1.6 ftw

Kelly 01-20-2007 11:04 AM

Well if we are playing by the rules I'd go for the NB. The NA has a horrible interior and dash board upgrade in the NB makes it so you don't feel like you are sitting in a car from 1987. Plus look at Russmans car...how fucking hot is that thing?:)

RicanmiataRacer 01-20-2007 11:08 AM

older gen all the way , im rockin my 94 1.8 like its a corvette... I love my car and would'nt give it up for the world, Its me, my soul, my personality, and my soul. Though I wouldnt mind having a 99 on the side but none the less 94 nuff said.

miatamania 01-20-2007 11:36 AM

Older miata...NB is a nicer miata, NA is a cheaper, lighter miata if your looking for power :)

wtf are you smoking? The camel early dash is far superior to the rounded one.

Kelly 01-20-2007 12:02 PM

Wrap an NA dash in black ultrasuede and it would be livable.

Pitlab77 01-20-2007 12:22 PM

99 sport ftw

cjernigan 01-20-2007 01:04 PM

Wait who leaves the interior in their NA's anyway. I thought all NAs were missing their center consoles, carpet and everything else that they could rip out.
I like my NB far more than my roommates NA just because like most NA's i've been in, it's a POS. I would definitely track an NA because I wouldn't feel bad for stripping it, but that's all. I like the NB body and interior far more, even though the factory seats rip easy.
Wait back on track, I hate the NCs. I don't like the body styling at all, otherwise the retractable hardtop versions are awesome.

Loki047 01-20-2007 01:17 PM

Guess im the only one who likes the NC...

RicanmiataRacer 01-20-2007 01:18 PM

The only reason my center consol is out of the car is because Im removing the shtty factory cd player (it wont play cds) and Im going to be adding a wide band and such ....so after all is said and done Im putting it back in, I was also thinking of mounting a bipes unit or sebring unit inside the compartment...that be nice if it fits

olderguy 01-20-2007 01:24 PM

I didn't know you could get a factory cd player as early as '94

I like the 2007 with the retractable hard top. Those lines remind me of the early T Bird hard tops. If my '91 doesn't outlive me, I'm going for that to drive around in my old age.:gay:

Oops, too late:sadwavey:

RicanmiataRacer 01-20-2007 01:30 PM

yEp , mine came with a cd player(oem) ....it use to play cds all the bloody time , now its whenever the fuk it wants!
