Planning to buy a sporty daily driver

Let's just say all of your choices are equal...

So I will look at the 4 cars with the eyes on another person... (think total newbie in cars)

My Vote goes to the 86.

Focus / RX - people might say its the normal Focus/RX with after market body kits. (remember the Evo?)

So the MX-5 and 86 will stand out better...

But the 86 will has the Toyota badge and hopefully, Toyota support.

This is true for me, the other cars will look "normal". The BRZ/86 and Miata will be great to look and worth giving a second look for bystanders.

My vote goes to Miata, it's top down! Why top down? I don't know, I just like it. I know the weather is hot but I still want a top down. Imagine driving with all the wind rushing to your hair but not in Manila, of course. After 20 years, I think the Miata will be a classic car.

To add, it seems Toyota wishes to do what Mazda is doing.

The Miata would be a tiis-pogi car, would not be the most practical daily driver but is the enthusiast choice (anyway OP says s/he already owns other cars for hauling people/luggage so there's that).
