Maybe supa's wife said okay
My favourite Miata is the 2008 special edition in ice blue with dark brown seats... I think it only came in Canada with the hardtop... all the USA ones are soft tops and most of them autos when they do show up. One came up for sale in Ontario recently but it's high mileage and has some pretty crusty bits from what I could see... and priced up there for the mileage/location!!

The ice blue is a beauty too - I also like the metropolitan grey with the white seats (NC2).

What is this? I like ... a BMW small hatch/wagon, 2006 BMW 135m sport, too bad it's imported and RHD. https://www.facebook.com/share/DzJEAqUeVXzHVrPU/
The most reliable BMW inline 6 N52 with the best handling hatchback body frame never made to North American market. This E87 was imported from Japan, inspected and registered in BC. This little beast has 265 hp and 315 nm, rear wheel drive and six speed automatic w/ m sport paddle shifter. It also comes M sport brake calliper, M sport wheels, M sport door sill, M sport steering wheel and a more aggressive front bumper.   | |

I haven't driven the N52 w/ the 3SIM and tune for the increased power, but the one in the 128i without paired with an auto felt pretty gutless and not fun to drive when I tried one at a dealer.
Those reflectors are also hideous. Hopefully whoever buys this can remove them without damaging the paint.

I looked into those cars in Japan auctions briefly, but the 3200lb curb weight on something that small turned me off. Just a personal thing, but maybe of note to others.

The reflectors are required for passing inspection. Those things under the headlights don't look like washers or wipers. BMW doesn't do wipers and washers are just a nub. Those might be DRLs. The OEM 1 series headlights might not have them so they added those LEDs for DRL

Hard to find without the seats torn up/stained too...
Where's the OEM Racing Harts tho?? Look way better than these black mesh ones.

I’m not sure if it goes here or not but Acura has a promo on the integra (doesn’t apply to the type S I believe) and it’s 3.99% lease for 24month.
I tried the integra A spec today in MT and it wasn’t half bad. Not nearly as punchy as a Type R but it’s quite civilized and would make an energetic commuter. Clutch is horseshit though… zero feedback and feel. Can’t even tell where the engagement point is until the car is rolling a bit. Shifter is classic Honda and very very good.

The Sidney car is the nicest one in Canada I've come across in the last while - most of them live in Quebec / Toronto with a few popping up in Alberta once in a while.

CDV can be deleted or clutch pedal can be adjusted for a "better" feel (and reduces grinds) or you can drive 110K km and now it feels about the same as an E46 clutch feel LOL.
I haven't tried an Integra but the current gen Si and is ultra light. Think lighter than MK7.5 R.
