But even better than his Miatas is his 1993 FD RX-7! He's selling it too. Really making me think about picking it up from him...
Don't get me wrong... I do respect the Miata and all its accomplishments. But I don't think the GT-86 gets the respect it deserves. Every time I drive my wife's FRS, I'm amazed at how precise the handling is, how I can accelerate through the corners, and how big the smile is on my face. It's worth taking for a test drive, if you get the opportunity.

Someday I'll check out a Miata and do my own comparison, but in my personal opinion the GT-86 is definitely worthy of being on a "best driver's car" list.
