I drove an 18 Civic Si.

On the test drive...car seemed way too big and wide inside it's cabin compared to the intimacy of the FRS cabin.

I tended to drive above the speed limit, additionally, over revved the engine due to the fact that the engine is too quiet compared to my FRS.

Rev hang ? Never notice it in my FRS, though it's probably there in a very slight fashion.

Torque dip: What they don't ever say; it's sometimes there sometimes not, so you can't count on what to expect in an emergency situation.

Clutch/shifter feel: Clutch just fine once you get used to the fact that engagement is at the top of the pedal. Shifter feel very good, yet not as good as a Tremec transmission.

You've tried both cars...is it time for a Miata Club Manual ? New engine for the 2019 model year. Something to think about.

BRZ Limited with Performance Package list $30,500. Miata Club list $30,050
