    I would absolutely love an EV Miata. A shit load of torque, perfect, super low placed weight balance with distribution of batteries and power near the wheels. What performance enthusiast wouldn’t love that? That thing would handle like an F1 car.

    Combined with the fact that it’s a tiny Miata and the range could be pretty nice as well. Maybe even add AWD with a second motor… Now THAT would be my perfect car at this point.

      Honestly I don’t get the love for EVs. They’re not fun to drive imo. Instant power is nice, but it’s flat and boring.

      The ICE is such an integral part of enjoying driving to me that without it there’s little to no point. The feeling and sound aren’t replicable by EVs.

      They’re great for the environment, horrible for the car hobbyist.
