Basically the title but more details below.
I’m debating between buying a new 2025 Honda Civic Type R at MSRP or getting a lightly used ND2 Miata manual + another sedan like a regular civic/mazda3.
I have 2 young kids so the Miata won’t suffice alone. The Miata is so cheap to insure, it’s basically a wash between these two for monthly costs as I’d aim to get these two used totaling less then $50k.
Open to other ideas but want to keep it under $50k and I LOVE the Type R manual and the Miata is just amazing in general, including the manual. I did not love the Elantra N manual and I like the functionality of a hatchback like the Mazda3 and Civic.
