With the constant statements about how great 'Stangs/Miatas/WRXs/etc are for right or wrong people get defensive.
So many people love to throw on here how great another car is (Miata?) and then think it is weird when everybody here steps up to defend the car they own and love.
If I went over to the Mustang or Miata forums and made comparisons running down their pride and joys I bet I would get the exact same responses.
There is no disputing that many cars do some things better and just as many do other things worse.
Congrats to somebody like Slowbutfun that didn't like his car and moved on to something that better suits his needs since that is exactly what should happen. What doesn't need to happen is him, and others like him, that move on but still seem to need to keep coming back, beating their chests and screaming ""stangs rule".
The other crowd are the ones that probably have never even sat in one but have loads to say because they read an article once. Sure they have an opinion but it is not based on any actual facts beyond what they read.

I just kinda get worked up when people try so hard to make an opinion sound like a fact and use useless scenarios to justify it. Personally, I think the brz suits me better than any other car and almost any price. It has a lot of short comings and there are definitely better performers in the price range. It is okay to really like something despite or maybe even because of something viewed as a fault. Driving around a track slowly in a brz is probably more fun that going around quickly in a mustang. I'm okay with that but I understand that the brz does is slowly. Much more livable than my much loved miata and much more engaging than the performance-per-price mustang. I will still complain about it a lot here but it is good enough to be my first and probably last new car purchase.
