    Not sure I should feel shame with as much as they get slagged here but.......the new Miata has captured my interest for commuting and the occasional top-down jaunt up the canyon.

    They are getting very nice ratings:

    Also Car and Driver

      Go for it, shaka. Nothing wrong with driving a gay car.

        Could you include a trigger warning with that statement?

        Yeah I get the gay car thing. However, they are allegedly a blast to drive.

          O.G. will be gay with you.
          Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

            The Car Guys had an interesting list. Miata is mid-pack. With that said according to them I have experience driving a gay car as I've owned a couple of Saab 900 Turbos. I miss Saab.

                Surprised by this. Would've thought for sure Miata would be deep-pack.

                    The Jetta winds that award. BMW 3 Series is a close second.

                          Go for it, Shaka. I enjoy driving my gay car too.

                              Looks nice! I drove a miata for years. i owned an MGB before that. The miata manual transmission was an absolute blast to drive.

                                Has anyone owned/driven either the Audi Q7 or Acura MDX? I'm looking to trade in my wife's car. We don't need something that big anymore with only a couple kids at home :clap: A quick look online, there seems to be quite a few low mileage ones around.
