Ok hang on, how is the BRZ not reliable. As long as you get a 2014+ there shouldn’t be any problems. I and think even the reliability issues with 2013’s are blown out of proportion. If the OP is referring to a 2nd gen, you would always run a small risk of first year issues with the new version of the FA24. Not enough to keep me away from it though.
But as a daily driver in New York, I would vote for the Civic Si. It’s practical, fun, reliable (aside from some blow by oil issues with the turbo engine), and should be ok in the winter. FWD is better than RWD in bad weather conditions for a new driver. IMO
The ND Miata wouldn’t even be a consideration, unless it’s a weekend car. Too small, no storage, and the RF hardtop option gets pricey.
