Also learned that FT86 rear seat area is "useless", which I wish I would have known before I violated the law and used that space to transport race wheels/tires to the track a buncha times.
I love the Miata. It is objectively less practical. I do wish they'd make a fixed-roof coupe or hatch version. RF looks cool but is $$$$ and weight  |
Posts should be tailored to the OP,
1st car and likes the miata most
Doesn’t plan on carrying too much stuff.
Wants a fun car for turns.
His order of needs are fun>reliable>practical
Hasn’t posted since.
Based on his entire post I deduced and assume (but very well could be wrong)
He is younger with no kids and doesn’t plan on tracking the car or using it to haul things around.
Based on that the only real practical thing a brz can do that a miata can’t is the brz has back seats that would primarily be used for adults. Adults who I’m assuming have vehicles of their own and like everyone i know when i drive the 86 and not the cx5 refuse to get in the back and would rather we take their car instead.
I tried taking my wife and son 1 time years ago first and only time the rear was ever used. Eventually just removed them as i knew they’d never be used again.
Yes if you track the car you can use space for tires, tools, etc.. that the Miata can’t do, but I don’t think OP is tracking the car hence why using it for tires and tools wasn’t in the discussion.
99% of the time for general daily needs like groceries, duffel bag, laptop, backpack, hat, umbrella, random paperwork, that kind of stuff the miata is more than capable of. Unless OP responds and states otherwise, the miata will be practically just as practical as the brz for the OP. Maybe not for you or other individuals posting.
