How can Miata always be the answer when there are multiple Miatas and an E30?— Carmudgeon Show Ep 51
In this episode, Jason Cammisa and Derek ("Hyphen") Tam-Scott discuss having to choose between the Miata NC and ND, specially NC3 and ND2, after driving them back to back on a rally.
Of course, the meandering conversation starts with BMW E90 and E90 LCIs, the term Life-Cycle Impulse, and the hideousness of E60 and the E65 BMWs.
NB, Hyphen says, is not the right answer.
But NC2 and NC3 might be.
ND Miata proved the entire industry wrong — it's possible to drop weight and gain performance.
But it didn't come alive until the ND2's higher-revving engine.
But is it better than the NC2 Miata?
And is even that better than an E30 BMW 325i?
It takes an entire episode to find out, but the Carmudgeons are clear on this decision. And to discuss whether we're in a bubble of old-car values?
