i think all things handling are pretty subjective when we talk about them this way. motortrend (or rather this particular staff member) prefers the miata. there is not way else to look at it other than the frs isnt clearly better than every car even close to its segment. i also think it might be worth noting that definitions of precise are probably gonna cause more confusion. the article talks about how the the miata stays on a neater line while the frs has a tendency to break loose. the frs settles into turns much faster stock for stock. i dont really care to argue those semantics though
