Anyone coming to a Z4 from a MX-5 Miata

Hi all, I'm aware there's people on here from all over the world, so I'm having to use differing car names to cater for this. (I'm in Leeds, in the UK by the way).

I am a die hard *10yr* Mazda MX-5 (Miata) driver, having had two NA's (mk1s) and now drive a NC (mk3). Have had the NC for almost 5 years now and I've almost finished paying for it.

I've been considering a serious change of direction, and while I'd love another Mazda, their new car isn't too different to my current car so wouldn't really be a big change.

Hence started looking at a used Z4 S35i. I know its a big change speed wise and I've been to take one for a 1/2 hr test drive at the dealership.

What I am concerned about is will I love the Z4 as much as I have done the MX-5's?

The MX-5's are go-kart like, cheap entertaining, chuckable fun.

My concern is the Z4 will lose some of the intimacy and involvement that I have in the MX-5.

Has anyone on here come from a Miata/MX-5 and can comment on this?

Thanks
