You take that back! The baseball glove stitch style is a classic, and lovely!

There was one weird ass time when my sister and my Dad went to Mazda in Richmond and came home with a Protege5 for her that had the same baseball stitched leather seats.
I went through the invoice with my Dad and figured out they super suckered him on warranty and other shit they didn't explain and he never signed for, charged him like $10,000 extra and under some consumer protection thing I made the dealership take the car back and refund him...
But it always stuck in my mind that I never ever saw any other Protege5 in my life that had those seats in it, was super weird.

Those seats look terrible. Just because it was an OEM option doesn't mean it was a good one.

I saw this on the lot when I went to test their integra a spec. If it was manual I would have bought it already to troll myself.

It looks like a total afterthought. There is not an ounce of leather, brown, or wood trim anywhere.They just plunked a wad of orange leather in a plastic black interior and threw on some massive stitching that's nowhere else in the car.
It's rare for a reason.

2016 Miata - Red exterior/tan interior for $25k. It has a new transmission in there (the 2016 tranny was super fragile) which I see as a plus. Seems like pretty reasonable pricing considering some NCs list for nearly this much.

Any gotchas to look for? Seems like great value if you can get it for close to $20

The gotcha is you can get a new one for 36k. A 2024…. Nd3. 36k stripper base in a manual. Why would anyone bother doing this used car for 25k that’s almost 10 years old and heavy on the KMs when you can just lease a brand new miata for like 700 bucks a month.

I was watching a review last night and they said there's been 6 revisions in the nd for tranny. And yes not everyone makes big bucks shipping stolen cars and going on strike every year  
I should go check one out, I didn't know they were only $36 I thought the price was closer to $50 like the 86 anything is $50+ now a days

Red/tan is a pretty spec you can't get anymore and with used prices on Miatas being what they are you can drive that 2016 for a few years and lose almost nothing on it.
There's always this 2022 Ferrari Portofino with 9000 clicks on it: https://www.facebook.com/share/wukcghTtfRHjwuZK/
