The only downside is they can get kinda pricy as you add some of the nice options like the Recaro/Brembo package. I would have considered going for one, but the soft top was a no go if I ever had to use the car for work. I wasn't a fan of the way they did the hardtop, even with its nice profile. Plus it was even more $$$.
But if you are good with a base model I would take a look. There are also the 2018 models for less $$$ if you can find one and don't need the telescoping steering wheel, or mind the lower redline/peak HP.

The Miata is quicker than the BRZ, but the BRZ steering is far superior to the ND Miata and the Miata has massive body roll with the factory suspension. For pure driving pleasure on a winding road, my vote is with the BRZ. Truly the main advantage (or disadvantage depending on personal preferences) that the Miata has is that it is a convertible and that enhances the fun factor for some people.
