Simply put, the two cars are Mazda and Toyota's (also, Subaru) approach to accomplish the same thing. They feel SO similar and deliver the same style of thrills - I would not go so far to call either one definitely better than the other, it all depends on your personal preference and usage. The RF Miata is primarily my wife's car and she really enjoys the convertible aspect and more refined Mazda interior (her words, not mine).

Great summary! This is probably one of the simplest, most straight forward and unbiased opinion in regard to this subject.
