Civic Type R vs Miata: Which Is the Better Weekend Car?

Everyone calls the Civic Type R a "budget GT3." So I test drove one and asked the only question that actually matters for a car like this — is it a better weekend car than my Miata? I owned a Type R. I dailied it. I've owned 25 cars at this point, and I now run a Miata as my weekender. So I'm not here to talk about how good of a one car solution the CTR is...I'm here to answer the three questions that decide whether a car earns a dedicated spot as a true "Event" car in your garage. 1. Does it feel special? 2. Is it actually fun when you're NOT going fast? 3. Do you crave driving it — does it get under your skin? As a former owner the answers truly surprised me. POV test drive. Real impressions. No fluff. Which one would you take for the weekend? Drop it in the comments. #CivicTypeR #Miata #WeekendCar
