S2000 vs BRZ vs Miata vs Fiat 124
A great comparison video was posted on Engineering Explained. The BRZ acquitted itself quite well in the comparison. It was interesting to see him rank the BRZ over the S2000 despite owning a S2000.

Because that's totally relevant.

Yep. Also why do we need another 20 something trying to tell us rwd manual cars are awesome? Again? But that's not relevant right?

Good video. It's interesting that even in this tiny segment of lightweight RWD sports cars, each has a specific sub-market. BRZ if you want a coupe. ND Miata if you want a convertible. 124 if you want your Miata to be more upscale and relaxed. S2000 if you want it more raw and high-strung.
Each has carved out a little corner of an already thin market. Encouraging to see manufacturers like Toyota/Subaru, Mazda, and Fiat work to find ways to viably bring new models to a low-volume enthusiast segment.

Watch a few of his other car reviews. You will find that despite being an enthusiast, he's able to balance his preferences with the understanding that not every car is for everyone. The result is refreshingly honest takes on the merits of some cars that I would rather shoot myself than drive. |

Excellent point. And goes to show that your actual purpose or use of the car, will dictate your preference. Which is why we can all argue good (and bad) points back and forth all day long. No wrong choice, just a more right choice for your goal. Its why i own both a BRZ and S2k.... ....so i dont have too decide.

If anything, I'd complain that he dumbs things down too much and explains more than he should. He does too good of a job. Then again, I'm an engineer too, and probably not really his target audience. |
