The seats are a $300 option

I drove an early ND at an auto show test drive thing when they first came out... Too long ago for me to compare to the ND2 spec.
The ND2 has 181HP vs 155 in the ND1 -- so a 16% bump. When I drove the manual last weekend, it felt good. Not super fast, but not slow either. I also drove it the morning after driving the 911, and honestly, it didn't feel like it accelerated much different (and I wasn't being particularly aggressive with either car)... Part of that might just be that you feel like you are going faster in the Miata -- I found I was just below the limit when I felt I was a few over (both in a 45 zone and a 65-posted freeway)...
This will mostly be a car used to run errands, go to the airport, etc. As long as its not rainy or too muggy, I can put the top down and enjoy those drives...
