As I commented recently in another thread on this forum, after my attempted reinvention as a full-time automotive journalist, I'd been trying in vain for a couple of years to get a hold of local (South Florida) press fleet cars for driving impressions. Slowly, but surely, there were cracks in the wall. First, Mazda liked my pitch for a comparison test between my 2008 3rd-gen (NC1 in Mazda-speak) and its 2017 ND successor. Then, a couple of weeks after I posted that article ( http://kaizen-factor.com/nc-vs-nd-evolution-mazda-mx-5-miata/ ), one of the local Toyota PR folks reached out to me and said that she'd liked to "get me into their vehicles". Her intercession led to my being placed in the weekly vehicle rotation of the smaller of the two companies managing the automotive press fleets here in South Florida.
The first of the vehicles I borrowed for a week was a manual Toyota 86. Here's a link to my review:
