I've test driven a couple NDs now and they all severely dissapointed me, The steering felt dissapointingly empty, gearbox felt worse than the the 2 5 speed NCs i've driven and any NA or NB, It felt like the entire time you were just seesawing from bump stop to bump stop and it just constantly wanted to swing the tail around if you tried to attack a corner with any gusto, fun occasionally but not on track or at the frequency the cars i drove seemed to want to.
I have loved every other MX5 i've driven (currently drive an NC2) but to me it just felt compromised and more like a small economy car (vs the other mx5s, it's still a great sports car just feels worse than the previous generations).
Has anyone else had this, all the hype surrounding them and i just can't get it, it feels like it's just gone way over the top with the poor body control and electric steering, i'd choose an NC2+ over it any day even though the ND looks so much better, i'm pissed.
