Earlier, I !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! about OPPO’s Miata ownership. The results are in and this is what OPPO’s average Miata looks like.
Of the group polled, 44% of us currently or previously have owned a Miata with another 22% planning to own a Miata at some point.
The average Miata is an NA chassis with 3 pedals. 75% of theses will be daily driven with 28% seeing occasional track time and another 40% lying to ourselves about eventually making it to the track.
The full results below:
Ownership:
33.33% - Currently own a Miata
10.61% - Previously owned a Miata
21.21% - Have never owned a Miata but plan on buying one eventually
34.85% - Have never owned a Miata and don’t plan to (yet...)
Chassis Owned:
51.52% - NA
30.30% - NB
15.15% - NC
03.03% - ND
Transmission:
90.32% - Manual
09.68% - Automatic
Track Use
12.12% - Track Days
15.15% - Auto X
00.00% - Drag
03.03% - Rally
09.09% - Too stance to race
21.21% - Not interested in racing
39.39% - Want to race but have not yet
Driver Status

Thanks for playing.

I question the truthfulness of the responders to this poll. Mainly because of the “Jalopnik bias”.
brown, diesel, manual,wagon/hot hatch and “the answer is always Miata”.
Let the onslaught begin

I think it’s accurate. Remember that more than half of those that took the survey either do not, have never, or never plan to own a Miata. So after that, only like 20 people are left that can answer the rest of poll.

Also many people did not see or did not choose to answer the poll. So it may be heavily weighted by Miata owners who were more likely to answer it. (I did not see it)

Why? I never saw the poll but I have a ‘91 silver NA Miata with three pedals that I autocross and daily drive.
It’s the ideal car for that purpose having a suitably sized trunk, decent aftermarket radio, great heat/AC, and soft enough ride for my daily commute, while remaining light and tossable enough to be loads of fun ‘round the cones.
The wind noise, though. Oh dear god the wind noise.

To a certain degree I envy you. My only experience driving one was not an enjoyable experience. I guess I am too tall. With the top up, I felt like my head would act as a roll bar in an accident.

These results seem accurate based on the people I know who have miatas. Although if people don’t have a Miata I don’t know how likely they would have been to take the survey.

OPPO clearly needs a drag Miata.
