If you drive a mid 2000's Convertible Miata with a tan soft top, don't even try to say your car is better than a FRS/BRZ.

Haters will hate!

Depends on context, and user opinion will always be subjective. A turbo Miata with suspension work can be an amazing machine, and can be obtained without dumping a ton of money. Or if someone wants a convertible (since all Miatas are, not sure why that was specified) then obviously the MX5 is the better vehicle for them.

Posts like this always make me wonder what made the OP so defensive to begin with. Did you recently go to a HPDE/autox and lose, or just meet an owner who was a jerk?

I own both a mid-2000's convertible Miata with a tan top and an FR-S.

In their current states, my Miata (no turbo) will send the FR-S home crying like a little girl that just got spanked.

With some attention paid to the FR-S, that may change. But for now, it is my Miata's bitch.

People have to get real, Miataes and S2000s will kick the FR-S in the fun department. I own both before and I have to say that's where I stand.

However, my FR-S kick their arses in the practicality department....so on the flip side, my FR-S worth more to me!

Very tempting... but as of right now, I won't. I'll keep an eye on this thread

Couldn't care less about the Miatas...

Miatas are great machines. So connected, so agile.

If I had to decide between one and an FT86, it would come down to fun vs. practicality. The Miata is far more fun, the FT86 is far more practical.

I think that says more about the Miata's completely non-utilitarian nature than the FR-S's practicality.

FWIW, the FR-S is our practical car.

i had a chance to witness a 2005ish miata with an LS1 conversion and perfectly setup suspenion bomb around Mosport International Raceway (50/50 weight distribution)

it was an awesome machine.
