I suddenly feel like Miatas are getting overrated (IN MY OPINION), but id say they are underrated-fairly rated (the jetta is underrated)

@slimedev4920 Ай бұрын

They absolutely are because of tiktok. And they overpriced sh*tboxes now

@Zeus0_0355 Ай бұрын

They mad over rated

@Vladinery4424 Ай бұрын

All JDM cars are overrated and some are overpriced

@BurnDemons- Ай бұрын

I wouldn’t say “overrated” but I would definitely say becoming more popular instead. Popularity = Car prices going higher. There really isn’t anything much to “overly-rate” the Miata besides its some tuning possibilities. It’s not the fastest car, nor the most comfortable. The handling is not great either as in its stock form.

@petahgriffan2397 Ай бұрын

Any japanese car meet i go to, at least 1/3 of the cars there are mx5. Because they are cheap, the market for parts is big, and thats all because alot where made. Also they are reliable and i can litterly go outside and see a hundred parked and driving.

Other than that, the Nissan 300 ZX is calling my name, yet I'm having a lot of issues with the price. I wonder if I could ever find one under 6-7k?

Top pick is Acura TL. Called it! I expect you could find a decent Toyota Solara under 4k too, but it would have to be the base model coupe or a really leaky convertible. All the cars under 4k will have lots of problems. As far as I know, given it retailed for 30k and is a Toyota, the SLE V6 2nd gen convertible is probably worth between 6k with more than 150,000 mi to 10k with less than 75,000 miles, or am I overestimating it's value?

Stand up? Good idea! Mark, you have converted me to liking a couple BMWs over a year and a half, and I hope you take pride in this, as I used to be prejudice against all of them. I now realize there are much worse cars on the road, like Audis, Land Rovers, Mazaraties, Mercedes, Fiats, Minis, and Jaguars. It may take a couple more years of conversion for me to like these, but I don't think it will work because aside from the Land Rovers these things look kinda lame or even ugly unless they're, like, fully built.
