My thoughts on the video:
I really enjoyed it, very entertaining and for as much crap these guys give our cars in other videos they had a lot of nice things to say. The review did an excellent job capturing my enjoyment i have driving my brz. Based off this video, what should you do? Buy a BRZ PP!

I agree with a lot of what they said in this video, which isn't very common lol. I typically disagree with a lot of the nitpicky stuff they say, but this time, I was right there with them the entire time.

Not really. The lap time may have been slightly better, but ultimately, they chose the mx5 over the 86 because of the difference in fun factor on a daily commute. On the track, they said they're pretty much even in every way, but the mx5 let them turn any mundane city drive into an exciting one, which I actually agree with.
Can't go wrong with either, but from personal experience, I've always found the 86/BRZ to be lacking a bit in stock form. A couple small changes fixes that. When I drive the mx5 around though, I love it. Maybe it's the roadster/top down aspect.
