I never understood the arguments for these 2 cars. It's all about which flavor you want. Coupe or Roadster
Agreed. Both are great cars, but I really don't see them as direct competitors, and I don't really see a lot of folks cross-shopping between them.

They are both enthusiast cars, but with a totally different focus. The FR-S/BRZ can function as a primary car (hard roof, back seat, and trunk), whereas the MX-5 is a toy that works best as a 2nd or 3rd car.

Personally, I'm very glad that both exist, and I'm glad that the MX-5 betters the FR-S/BRZ in some very tangible ways (interior quality and acceleration, for example) as it gives Toyota/Subaru a reason to keep developing and improving the Twins.
