It handles like a Yacht
Being how a Yacht is correctly classified as any vessel over 25' and not easily trailerable. Having "driven many yachts," the term is about as accurate and descriptive as car.
As I understand 500 cars are allowed to escape the Cali. smog requirements each year, and those are replicas. Having such a car is another P.I.T.A. every 2 years.
Good article any press is good press,

Tell all of those Corvettes, Porsches, Cobra kit cars and other modern sports cars I beat at the SCCA solo that a yacht whooped them.

Make the comparison an aesthetic one and there's no comparison.
And I'm a past and future Miata owner.

Duke I'd call those guys out if If my car was as nicely set up as yours.
Your car can't fit into their badly chosen Yacht descriptive term as it is readily trailerable.
Its all about the beam of the craft being under 8'
Interior in a Nautical theme bothers me too, a better term would have been handcrafted. Thankfully most schools still have analog clocks in them so he could not complain he could not read that in the Tiger.

"It’s a shame we drove the Miata first, because we came back to the Tiger wanting to throw stones at it. Sometimes we forget how far automotive technology has come over the decades."
Don't quite understand the point of the article. Of course any car you choose from 50 years ago will have poor driving dynamics compared to the equivalent car of today. Even if, like the Mazda, the car was modified equally in comparison to a lesser model.
