In my mind, the double wishbones at the front of the Miata make it a more "pure" sports car than the GR86, with its MacPherson strut front (a consequence of its distant mass-market-car roots).

The double wishbone suspension is an independent suspension that employs – as its name would suggest – a pair of wishbone shaped arms to connect the wheel assembly to the vehicle’s chassis.

By combining the shock absorber and coil spring into a single unit, the system takes up less space compared to more complex suspension setups like double-wishbone or multi-link systems.
