This topic HAS been beaten to death, but I just came from a 2012 NC miata to my current FRS.

I loved that miata more than anything but I'm too tall to own a miata (6'7").

Overall I really like the FRS but they're entirely different cars.

The miata's gearing is much tighter and it has a better sense of speed than the FRS, but it's a bit more limited.

Miatas also have a lot more road noise, but they're a bit easier to maneuver.

Finally and arguably the most important distinction: BODY ROLL.

Compared to my miata, the FRS feels ROCK SOLID through corners. The miata has a huge amount of body roll, which of course could be fixed easily with coilovers, but still.

The difference in the cars stock is extremely substantial and its largely a matter of personal preference.

I STILL miss my miata a little bit but the FRS is keeping me entertained in a whole new way so far.

If you have any questions shoot me a PM
