Mazda MX-5 Miata

The Mazda Miata, the car that really smiles back. Over the 30 years of production for this car, Mazda never lost its sense of pure driver delight. They made a car that just begs for you to push its limit, its small but enjoyable 181 horsepower, 4-cylinder engine combined with a crisp 6-speed manual transmission, you're ready for a day out where the sun counts. Alright that's enough of my cheesiness, lets get some history rolling.

The Mazda Miata was first revealed to the world at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show. Throughout its now 32 years of manufacturing, the Miata has gone through many changes, both in power and looks. The Miata NA, ND, LE, M are just a few versions of the cars progressive betterment over the years. Although the power of this automobile has increased since its release, my favorite Miata is not for the power, but for the looks. The pop-up headlight, Mazda MX-5 NA. It's old yes, but ahh look at that... (cue the dreamy face)

The Miata (for any model you chose) has a mega bonus that comes with the car. The aftermarket upgradability. With these cars, you can turn it into ANYTHING you can imagine. Drift cars, drag cars, time attack cars, off-road cars, boats, wait did he just say boats? You bet I did. Because as a wise person once said,

But, the new one is what matters. The car is a two seater, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive, two door convertible, with a mileage of 26 MPG city, and 34 MPG highway. Although the car does lack power, it can still use its 151 LB-FT to get you from 0-60 MPH in 5.7 seconds and 0-100 MPH in 16.1 seconds. Complimentary to acceleration, the Bridgestone brakes that the Miata is fitted with can bring you down from 70 to 0 MPH in around 170 feet. Nobody really has complaints about this car since its such an amazing machine, but when we compare it to other cars like the Subaru BRZ/Toyota 86, which fall into the same price range have much more cargo space, which definitely is a downfall to the Miata. But grays and blues aside, the Miata is down-right a true driver's car.

Jeep Wrangler

  (Courtesy: motorbiscuit.com) Jeep. The company that has brought world-class off-road capability for around 78 years. When you hear the word "Jeep" there's not only the company that comes to mind, but a styling of SUVs that took the car market by storm, in the States, and out, for example India's Mahindra Thar. (Courtesy: motorauthority.com) The Wrangler took life from the all-famous Willy's Jeep which was used greatly in World War II. The Jeep back in the time was known for its capability of getting you anywhere you wanted, as well as being reliable, more than any all terrain SUV at the time. But, moving on from my habits of preaching history, let's move on to what matters, the 2021, Jeep Wrangler. (Courtesy: newsopener.com) The 2021 Jeep Wrangler keeps the styling that they have been using for many years now, but they made one major change. The brand new 4xe, a plug in hybrid, that can take the Jeep (combined with a turbocharged four-cylinder producing 375 ...

Honda Civic Type R

Image
(Courtesy: The Car Connection)   This, is the Honda Civic Type R. The Type R has followed the Civic generations for a long time now, but is available out of the factory in the form of the 10th-Generation. This variant of the Civic is only available with a well-engineered and fun 6-speed manual transmission. The Type R comes with a 306 HP, turbocharged 4-cylinder engine producing 295 LB-FT of torque. Although that really doesn't sound like much, the way Honda puts that power down in their FWD drivetrain is more than any power you need. The best way to think about the Type R, is the go-kart to go grocery shopping in. It's stupidly fun to drive, and equally as practical to use every day of the year. And lets not forget, this conventional sedan is not only practical, but one of the fastest  sport compacts available in the market. If we had to directly compare the car to compare another, the Type R's main rival would be the Hyundai Veloster N (there is a post on the Veloster N, ...
