Blue Reflex Mica Miata RF s have been catching my eye for quite some time now. Just went through a pretty rough breakup and one of the best pieces of advice I was given was to just do things that I won’t be able to down the road when I do have a relationship and kids. So... Blue Reflex Mica Miata or RF? Talk me down oppo!

RF.
Think of the added practicality! It’s like future-proofing yourself.
...Oh. You said “talk me down.”

You’ll get no no-votes from me, sir.
Just make sure to tint those side windows to match.

Unfortunately in Soviet NY you can’t pass safety inspection with tinted side windows...

I fit in my Autozam, I think I’ll be good! I actually test drove a ceramic RF 6 speed once. I loved it.

Get the RF. I love all miatas, but I see a grey RF fairly often near my office and every time I think “fuck, that thing looks great!”. Also now with extra horsies!
In any event:
EDIT:
“do things that I won’t be able to down the road when I do have a relationship and kids.”
Marry the right person and this won’t happen. The kids part might, but you won’t care then.

So I think I know what I’m going to do. I have to lose some weight due to high blood pressure, and I generally want to be more healthy and fit. So the goal is 100 kg or 220.465 freedom units. I’m a pretty darn out of shape 284ish lbs right now. 65 lbs to lose and I will treat myself!

The RF is definitely the cooler of the two. Just make sure you get the new one with more powahhhhh. Also, they’re cramped inside, so make sure you fit.

I sat in a RF on the showroom floor once
. Decided to close the roof to see how much room I had. That ended with me having to tilt my head in order to not bash it into the top. This is the story of my life.

I test drove a 2017 Ceramic RF. Fit like a glove.

t shrunk them in the dryer.

Get the RF please!
(Also, my mom told me 12 years ago not to get a 2 door “in case I had kids.” Life happens, no kids, but if you can’t sell a car in the space of 9 months you’re doing something wrong anyway).

I’m 32, chances are this will be the last car I get before I have kids (hopefully have them, who knows if it’s in the cards or not.) So I am getting something I really truly want, in the color I want, with the options I want. Gotta put in some work first though too. Should give me time to find the right one.

Do it! I am sad at 6'2" I don’t fit in the RF with the top up. At least not with the factory seats. That said I would rather have a cloth top Club Sport especially if they made them in Blue Reflex

I made the mistake of owning an automatic Miata already. It was an NA so it was still fun, but it could have been so much better.

I thought I was all set to marry the right person. She was on board with the RF, P1800 ES, and many others. But she was not the person I thought she was. Especially when everything she was hiding from me came out after I proposed.

the auto in the ND is really nice. even when bombing down a moutain, at 3k, flap the paddle down , no hesitation even as the revs jump to 5k+. Just does it.
