Again, what’s with the music, almost overpowering the narrative and it’s not that nice to listen to for 21min

@gixxer750r3 2 ай бұрын

Having owned two Miatas and one Mini, a few months ago I sold the remaining Miata (Mini is long gone; it cooked the turbocharger) and I bought a BRZtS. I agree with most everything you said. All are fun cars but as much as I LOVED driving the Miata, it is a fair weather, drive only in the country toy. I bought the BRZ because I can drive it anytime and anywhere and have total fun doing it. Plus it is a bargain. Long live light weight RWD front engine manual transmission sports cars without iPod-ish instrument panels. They are a dying breed.

Hard disagree. Miata is a convertible, two seater, better manual transmission, better mileage, proper suspension, a 30+ year heritage and dedication from an incredible manufacturer with an in-house engine. Miata Is Always The Answer.

The brz is the great compromise of a fun sports car with usable space for daily driving duties. And a hard top and an emergency rear seat. Big trunk space too. I have sporty cars like the s2000, bmw z3 coupe and z3 convertible, lancer evolution VI, toyota mr2 sw20. All are fun cars to drive in their own right. But the brz stands out as the most usable daily. Very cheap to maintain too. So it really depends on your priorities. Is it an only car, a sunday toy car. Or anything in between.

@WhatisaLee 3 ай бұрын

I daily drive mine in all seasons so suitability is a matter of perspective. Some people need more driving assistance in inclement weather than others, and these cars forgo those assistances in exchange for much better fair-weather driving experiences.

@notdaijoubu5062 3 ай бұрын

Traction is not an issue with winter tires and not being stupid. Ground clearance can be an issue though not any worse than some sedans. Both cars are fine for "normal" winter driving any other non-suv/truck automobile is capable of.

@jeffruebens8355 3 ай бұрын

Used with 50 thousand miles the Mini is a lot cheaper, especially if you use the savings to buy both summer and winter tires, and to change the engine oil and engine coolant more often to try to add more reliability. Waiting to buy a used Civic Hybrid would save a lot of fuel costs per year, with added weight and wheelbase length so it is not as fun in corners. I have 2 motorcycles to really get the weight and wheelbase lower for fun cornering.

Apparently the benchmark of 2 seat roadsters is the Miata mx5, so I had to try one to see what all the hype was about, I drove a recent 2020 with 40km. With 181hp. It was one of THE WORST cars I ever drove. And I'm extremely picky when it comes to a cars performance. At 6 1, it was way too small, my right knee was always pressed hard on the sideboard, seat did not go back enough, cheap interior, tiny tiny trunk, half of that of the roadster mini, sloppy steering, and rwd did nothing to enhance the drive. My expectations were sky high given how many videos compare the mini roadster and Miata and overwhelmingly people choose the Miata, I'm completely dumbfounded. It is what it is and I know how both cars feel. The roadster mini is comparable to the Porsche and Ferrari I drove, slow speed handling, if the mini roadster had like 400hp and all wheel drive to eliminate torque steer it would be almost virtually super car level.
