It's interesting that they love the MX-5 because it's really so bad it challenges you to pull it all together, and that is what's fun. And they say much the same about the 370Z. The BRZ is found to be boringly competent on the road given its limited power.
While these comments may seem discouraging, the testing context mollifies my concerns. These guys are far from your average drivers, that is pretty obvious. It's clear that for the typical enthusiast getting near the limit is going to be far safer and more predictable in the BRZ than either of those 2 - and it's probably going to be bloody enjoyable, since most of us won't be nearly as jaded as these reviewers, who have spent countless hours flogging the best cars in the world and have honed their skill levels to the point where anything not incredibly difficult for the average enthusiast is going to bore them to death.
Anyway, they surely would have had had more fun in a manual GT 86 - better gear ratios, more neutral handling and so more amenable to throttle-steer.
