Focus:
- needs a rear sway bar
- needs a bigger front sway bar
- ride height is definitely gravel rally style
- needs better damping (between all of the above it feels like a ball on the end of a spring when you go around corners)
- stock seats are not very good at all: they sit too high, and if you use the height adjustment to lower them you get this big gap that opens up between the seat back and the seat bottom.
- Not getting anywhere near the 37mpg I was hoping for (best I’ve seen so far is 31, but car doesn’t even have 3k on it yet, so not really broken in yet)
- stock stereo is not anywhere near as good as what was in the Nissan
- I’d like a torsen LSD for the winter
Miata:
- attracts too much attention
- the super-premium stock stereo is absolutely horrid
- leaks all over in the rain
