I love Miatas too. I just wish they made them in my size.
"'Scuse me sir"
"Yes?"

who has ever owned one will tell you. On paper the MRS beats out the Miata,
but the Miata wins for seat of the pants fun and the grin factor - this is
according to Motor Trend. I've never driven an MR2 or MR2T or MRS, but know
from autocrossing in my region that the MR2 Turbo is/was a very fast, very
competent A-Stock car and costs a lot less money than other AS cars. (Maybe
it's just Paul Brown's driving - glad he doesn't drive a Miata!)
