ND Miata VS BRZ - Which Is The Better Daily Driver?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Am I selling the Miata already?
I bought my Miata with the intention of it always being a second car, but things have changed... In a good way, I might add.
This now leaves me in a scenario where I ideally would like to have one car that does all. Are there better, more practical options out there or is the Miata still the answer?

    BRZ is the better daily driver. I just sold my RF GT Mazda and loved the car. Just no room at all. My new BRZ TS is the better daily driver. Room to move and store stuff.

    Only an issue on tracks with long sweeping right handers. Only in high end 70k+ have baffled oil sumps. Even the only 6 GR86’s & 2 BRZ have lost an engine.

    You should consider the GR86 versus the BRZ. The suspension on the GR86 is a bit different than the BRZ's so it ends up a bit stiffer - it would be somewhere between the Miata and BRZ as far as ride comfort. And yeah, I didn't like the extra engine sound in my first-gen (2016) BRZ so I removed the sound generator pipe and plugged the holes in the engine intake and cabin. That's the only mod I've done.

    Pricing wise your comparison is flawed, the ND starts at 28K USD add the RF, Brembo and body trim yes you get to 50K, I am not sure about the various packages with the BRZ, but as stated your sons sounds like its bare bones compared to your ND which is dressed for the prom. I like the look of the RF, but the rag top is the only way to go...... BRZ doesn't offer that option

    I bought a 22 GR86 Premium for 32K and a 23 MX-5 Club for 36.5K. The Miata came with BBS wheels, Brembos, Bilsteins, Recaros, and aero kit. So in my mind the MX-5 was better bang for the buck by far.

    Bruh fake exhaust noises that’s so lame but I’m sure it’s easy to turn off hopefully and the Miata seats for a long time leave a lot to be desired especially with lumbar support but as always the Miata is never a practical car but that’s why I love it 😻 brz are dope but I prefer Mazdas driving experience like you said I’ve heard the acceleration isn’t as exciting in the brz and that the gear box in the older version were a bit iffy

    The clutch is heavy? One of the biggest complains about the gen 2 BRZ is the clutch being too light and people end up replacing the clutch spring. I am heavily considering replacing the spring in my 23 BRZ. I can only imagine how light the Miata's clutch must be. I am 6'3" 220lbs, and never even test drove a Miata as it is pointless for someone my size.

    I owned the GR86 and currently own a Miata. It's not that the GR86/BRZ clutch was too light, it's that the bite point was too vague. I changed the clutch spring on the GR86. Miata is light, but never had issues with the bite point

    I'm 6'3" and 250lbs and I test drove the ND. Less room than NC. I technically fit but I think I might tire of it if I owned it. Feels like the shifter is too close (rearward) and I have to have my arm scooched back. Claustrophobic, but when the top comes down all is right with the world! I think I'm going with a BRZ for the daily livability and the fun is right there whenever you want it.

    I have a daily MT NC2 Miata. I would not change it for anything. It's addictive, fun, and you can put the hardtop fully down with the roll bar installed. I owned two modified wrx[s], and while i loved them, I completely adore my Miata. It feels special all of the time. I love how the ND looks, but the NC is just a bit more comfortable.
