as a dd. will be paired with a GM M1008 as a winter vehicle.
Seems like a no brainer, the fiesta will be significantly more comfortable and useful day-to-day. DD'ing a miata gets tiresome after a while, unless you're the type that describes an Exige as "plush"
Seems like apples and pears comparison which means it's a perfect question here. I would go Miata but I fear the novelty and size might wear thin after a few months of no room for the groceries.
I went from dd'ing a miata to a normal fiesta earlier this year. 17 years for the miata including winter.
Even though my fiesta is base, seems fair to include.
To me, kind of a toss up. The fiesta is quieter, but I don't find the ride to be that much better. And the top goes down on the miata.
I stopped as my miata is just worn out after 15 years and 205k miles. (Second one for those keeping score). It will have a thread in the project section soon.
Granted, my commute is mostly boring freeway. But the cars are pretty even.
FiST all day.
Granted, this is coming from someone who DD's a miata already, despite not quite fitting into a miata... in a part of the world known for frequent rainfall.
So, yeah, less compromises with the Fiesta.
Fiesta is an excellent car but he has a 2nd car so I don't see how it really competes with a RWD car.
I would almost want to wait for the Focus RS and new Miata, but who knows when that comes.
