So, as we are all Celica owners, we all have the same baseline perspective to build on. What do you as 6GCers think about the Mazda MX-5? Would you consider trading your Celica for an MX-5 (specifically the NB - 2nd gen), and if you did, what would you consider to be the pros and cons of trading to an MX-5?
Thanks for the input. -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

I saw one in Winter Haven (no idea if you know where that is) and it was very nice. That's all I'm going to say. Pretty cool except for the 4g's for the conversion kit! I agree but don't some people pay that much for a ST205 clip after shipping and everything? Like I said, I think it is a lot of money too. Honestly, I could find a used car for that price. Anyway, Ferdi, if I were in your position and had the money to get the Miata I would. |
