- Driving enjoying comes in two forms: serious sport coupe or more relaxed open-air roadster. Mazda and Subaru each have their own formula to satisfy your need for fun. But which one is the better choice?

BRZ looks really good with the STI lips.
The BRZ is just too gorgeous in this color. Went in to buy a WRX STI but ended up getting a BRZ tS. Not a lot of power but every time I take a turn I can’t help but smile 😀. I love the STI tune to the suspension and the Short throw shifter is dope!
I would really suggest you get a wireless mic or something, hard to hear you on the outside shots so far from the camera.
+Matthew Broderick We hear you! We ordered an entirely new wireless mic system but unfortunately, it did not arrive in time during film. Our newer videos shot in this style will be utilizing it :)
+Redline Reviews you make great videos keep up the awesome work. I would love to send you some Playbudz if your a PS4/XB1 gamer. I really enjoy your channel.
+Redline Reviews boom mic and a delicates sound guy would up the quality of your already good video. My 2 cent. But I'm a sound guy I'm kind of bias lol
+Redline Reviews please make the videos shorter, I've never watched a full video
i love my brz, but damn the mazda is nice.
Interior is a huge upgrade.
music is a little bit too loud in comparison to your commentary
The insects are to loud compared to everything.
Your videos helped convince me to buy a 2016 manual MX-5 GT in red ^_^ I love it so much and it gets so much attention that I'm not used to it at all yet
I'd take the Miata hands down over the BRZ anyday.
Me too. Its a bugger trying to take the top down on the brz 😁
Great choice the Mazda is a great car to drive and as long as you have one you are definitely gonna have fun and love it but I like the BRZ and the mx5 both are amazing
Good balance in the review. Agree with the conclusions - there isn't a bad car in this comparison. Depends on what you want out of your car. I went with the BRZ since I can fit two children in the back when I want to go out, and I love that steering feel. It's also currently easier to get a deal on a BRZ than a Miata given that it has been out for a few years.
Nice vehicle comparison video Sofyan. I reviewed the Subaru BRZ couterpart, the Scion FR-S, a long time ago, and I'll admit that it did in fact felt comfortable and was easy to see out of.
As for the Miata, I'll have to find one to review in order to get a better idea on how comfortable the vehicle is to sit in, and see out of, because I've never sat inside of one before and I'm very eager and excited to see what it's like in person.

OMG ALMOST TWO YEARS SINCE I FIRST SAW THIS VID, wow time flies, just like the Miata
2350 pounds vs 2750 pounds.......400 pound difference. The Mx5 drives much better than the BRZ. It has a better ride also. The MX5 is faster and it feels faster. Yes the steering is much better on the BRZ most Mazda fans will be disappointed with the MX5 steering. The Mazda is a better drivers car for those that can fit. I cant. Four people his size can fit in the BRZ.
Overall fair review. Not bad driving.
+fatboy19831 MX5 has a better ride because its springs are way softer so you get more body roll in the corners. It's more playful while the BRZ is more race car in how it handles corners, much more serious of a car.
Just bought an 86 for 18k AUD and I couldn't be happier. It was really hard for me to decide between the 86 and Miata but in the end I just enjoyed the ride in the 86 just a little more. In this case, it doesn't matter what car you buy cause you'll have a great time either way.
I'm looking for a first car, I'm looking for something small and fun. My dad is paying and said no roadsters. 86 it is.
Excellent review. No negative comments from me. MX-5 engine characteristics and shifter would win me over. Those with complaints about sound quality need to go watch a bad video review. I watched the full 22 min and could have watched more.
pretty good review. personally, The BRZ is the better car for all around to me.I like it's looks better, and the engine sound better than the miata. I've just never really been a fan of the miata, or Mazda at all. But, I do somewhat like the miata. Both cars are great for different styles, and fit different audiences.They're BOTH unique in their own way. Please no bashing.
Agree with all your comments on the two cars. I've had an ND for a week now and had an FR-S for 2+ years. Very different driving experiences, both fun!
I bought a Miata based on this review. I like the convertible down when having a relaxing drive at night with the wife. Yes, there is no right or wrong which cars get picked. Both get the stares and perform as sports cars.
We recommend a Rodelink Filmmaker Kit for the wireless mic!
Excellent & thorough comparison, thank you.
Hey man great comparison video! Look forward to seeing more!!!
Very good comparison video. I would have preferred 2 separate reviews. Why would you buy a Miata and not get the club edition? I don't get that....especially as a reviewer/cat guy. You are still the best on the net. Good stuff.
Thanks for doing this, man. Keep up the comparisons! Now, time for that WRX ;)
Great comparison video. Keep them coming!
I would recommend an external clip on mic, or even mono beamforming mic attached to the camera if your camera can take one, either would be great. That and tell your camera man to secure the lens cover.... I could hear it banging against the camera housing every few seconds. Which in turn would drown your voice out. Other then that great review and comparison of the vehicles.
I'm biased but to me the BRZ styling is much nicer.
Also the seating position, steering feel, and balanced handling are ALL much better than in a Miata.
You should have drove the Miata with the top up to show how really small it is unless you only plan to use it in the summer.....
I love both
Waiting for the Fiat 124. The styling is a little more showy and...turbo. It'll only be a 1.4L Multiair engine (used in quite a few vehicles), but that still bumps the torque and hp up a good bit. Plus with aftermarket modding and especially E85, it will be a pretty good powerhouse. The 2.0L in the Miata would be the winner if one doesn't mind do internals and dropping compression.
The space/practicality for an everyday driver is what made me go the. BRZ route.Not a fan of convertibles too.
Great review as just the two cars I'm looking at. The special edition 2016 BRZ Hyperblue with the new Starlink info system is winning me over but I gotta decide before their gone.
I can see how much you love your Miata. You were trying hard not to smile the whole time you were in it.
This review was very nicely done! But the two cars don't have much in common other than being lightweight and RWD, which is sadly a rare pairing. The BRZ/FRS is more of a one-car single's ride with usable room for storage and just enough power and handling to have some fun on occasion. Miatas are purely for fun and enjoying some sun. Unfortunately, that's why roadsters are a dying breed here in the USA.
Great video as usual, keep it up thank you Sofyan
I couldn't fit comfortably in the new MX-5 during my test drive, and I'm only 5'9".
I think I'll wait for a turbocharged BRZ or the 2017 STI.
How much to you weigh? I'm 5'10" and 167 lb. and my 2019 Miata Sport fits me perfectly. Guys over 6' tall are out of luck, unfortunately.
I like how he complements the Miata right from the start, while has driving the BRZ he actually talks about the Miata more, and of course while he's driving the Miata. Probably the most personal driven review I have ever seen. If you're going to do reviews, you might not want to show that, but that was a failure in this video.
He Owns A Miata
iiTs DANGER It doesn't matter, I've seen reviews where the person owns the brz and they keep it balance.
Love this review. Suggestion for another part of this series - Focus ST v/s GTI or Golf R v/s S3
Bought a new ND Miata club in Ceramic metallic and it's a sweet ride but the BRZ is also a really nice car. Looks great in blue. Would like a Miata in the blue 😀
I just bought a 2019 Sport, in black. I think the Miata's lines make it badass in black, whereas a weaker design would just be invisible. I got the Sport because it had everything I need and nothing I don’t. (When I need lane departure warning, just shoot me.) Brembos and BBS wheels would be wasted on me - I’m nowhere nearly a good enough driver to push the limits of the base model Sport.
Got excited when i saw this video! haha! Thanks guys!
Mazda Miata is the one , just can’t go wrong
i didnt like ths review cuz u were biased with the miata obviously
its not even a comparison HAHA its like you're selling us the miata
+Alec Alcalde I'm in for the Miata (mine will arive next week). But yeah, that review seems a little bit biased
BRZs and FRSs are for attracting the attention of other men. It's a guy magnet. The Miata is for attracting women!
+misamisatv every girl that ive seen says the brz looks cool or cute and the guys are like so thats the car with only 200hp everyone complains about unless the guy is a car enthusiest
Hype Tempo Sure the BRZ looks cool, but given the choice I would rather own the Miata, hands down.
I just recently purchased a berz and could not be happier with it. I was also in the market for the new miata, an ecoboost mustang, and a couple of other cars. Miata was WAY too small and in my opinion looked too feminine. The ecoboost just didn't sound good and the drive was a tad boring. The berz is fun to drive, looks good, and who cares about the interior honestly, it has the basics and that's enough for me.
Great reviews! Thank you Sir!!!

Prefer the interior of the Miata (pointing to the BRZ up ahead).?
Test drove both today. The miata blows the FRS/BRZ away. Don't like the clutch on the FRS at all.
5.59 looks extremely wrong with the handbrake
That music is brutal.
The BRZ/FRS exterior was modeled after the Toyota 2000GT. Just thought you should know that. Subaru was the mechanical and Toyota was design and transmission with ththe D4S system.
I got the FRS.. My personal choice is a fun sports car where intention to go fast is implied. The miata has a good design.. The body roll and punyness takes some sports car character away from it.
Once again, the same problem arises once again: Doing a comparison between the BRZ/FRS, and the Miata . . . in the GT version, rather than the Club edition. Obviously, for a performance type of comparison, you'd want the Club, with better brakes, LSD, Bilstein struts, and the strut tower brace . . .
Meh, it is a poor comparison anyways when it comes to the actual consideration since I'm sure most enthusiasts would not cross shop between the two. While they are indeed the only small RWD coupes available under $30 K the line will be quickly drawn at whether the enthusiast even wants a roadster. On pure performance/enjoyment think the Miata is a slight winner regardless of trim, obviously it has the benefit of having two less seats and no roof to add weight, but the practicality from the Toyobaru makes this no contest for most daily drivers..
From my reading, the Club spec's performance statistics compared with either the upmarket GT or the downmarket Sport, are only marginally better. And this makes sense, as they all share the same brilliant platform. I agree that a comparison with the BRZ is apples and oranges-buyers of one will not be interested in the other.
I can't wait for the hard top. I hate convertibles with a passion.
(BRZ owner) Quit resting ur hand on the shifter ;)
Imagine how much faster the miata will be if mazda gave it a little more power (200-230hp)
maybe its just me, but from what I am reading on the dealers websites the Miata is 10k more then the brz for his GT model. Am i wrong or is the Miata actually more like 40k for his?
If I want a Subi I would get a AWD STI. Thats a Subi... not this RWD car. Much better off as the Toyota makes more sense.
and headers and a tune really wake the brz up. Im surprised toyota/subaru didn't put more into trying to get rid of that torque dip before releasing the car.
can MX 5 be used to compare to VW GTI in term of fun to drive factor? which is better?
i gotta go with the new miata until they refresh the berz
The Brz looks nice
+carlos ortiz its looks very nice but I too prefer the mx5.
carlos ortiz right it does but the mazda has a much better interior. I guess it really depends what you want in a car though i'd rather have the mazda since it's not as stiff of a ride and to all the points that Sofyan said
u mean until they make the brz fast...lol miata is 0-60 in 5.8sec and brz is 0-60 in 6.5sec. For a sports car the brz is pathetic when it comes to speed but the exterior styling is perfect. Wish it was faster tho.
1 reason why the FRS/BRZ was an easy choice for me over the Miata: PRACTICALITY. The Miata doesn't even have a glove compartment! There's barely any room to fit groceries, and ONLY groceries, in the trunk. Good luck if you like to keep extra clothes, an emergency kit, and other junk back there.
Good review man!
Mx5 over any roadster!
Since you (proudly) own the new Miata, can you create a fair comparison with that potential for bias?
nice review! your review on the base versa sedan made my decision to buy the car for dd. ikaw filipino?
I think they call that all sound no go 😂🤣😁😆… but I still love it 👍🏼👍🏼
Do you still have the ilx?
Can you do a redline comparison using the Chevrolet Tahoe,GMC Yukon,and Cadillac Escalade
Can the roof on miata withstand rain/snow if I put it outside on a rainy/snowy day? I live in kansas, so i am talking about a decent amount of rain/snow fall.
Seems like since you bought the miata, everything is better about than the BRZ. But in your seperate review, seems like you liked it a little more than now.
excellent review, thanks!
is Miata club better buy than GT? I like LSD but I prefer leather seat also
I’ve had both and prefer cloth seats. They don’t absorb the heat of the sun and fry your ass on a hot day. And they do not deteriorate over time like leather. The cloth Mazda uses is indestructible-I had an N1 with 150k miles plus on the clock and those cloth seats still looked great.
I wanna test drive new cars, but I love my E46 coupe 5spd.
Are you going to do the 2015 Ford Focus ST review?
Do the BRZ tail lamps still collect water?
I believe so
I've had my 2017 for 4 months so far no.
is the toyota gt86 not sold in the US?
Where is 2015/16 WRX?? PLEASE!!
Is it RWD? No. So it is out of the question.
ChooChooTrain02 He does't only review RWD
Oh, I thought you meant where the WRX was in the video, because he said this video was for small RWD cars.
ChooChooTrain02 Well it doesn't matter now, i bought a WRX. and its awesome! :)
Hope you enjoy it. Stick shift?
86 look so cool
Can you review the 2016 hyndaui sonata 2.0t limited?
What's the best one? A used 2007-2011 Porsche Cayman
Captain Slow GT86 nigga type english dumbass
There’s a video recently posted on TH-cam of a 2019 Miata Club doing a circuit of the Nurburgring. The car was driven by an expert, maybe a pro, and he caught and passed two Porches during his lap, one of them a Cayman. I too am a Porsche admirer but am aware that once you are able to drive fast enough to test the current Miata's limits, as this driver was able to do, you are going to be going faster than 95 percent of Porsche drivers.
subaru have had the cruise control module like that since some of their gc models but became more prominent from the gd era. and i thought the only toyota mechanical parts they had was the intake manifold :/ you learn something new every day
If you want fun to drive - it has to be the MX-5. Not perfect but a real drivers car.
When will the new civic review be up?
ik heb een mazdamx5 facelift hij rijd heerlijk en heb weinig problems gehad
I'd go with an ND and stiffen up the suspension, perfect.
STi but no STi engine, so does that mean the BRZ is riced out from the factory?
as soon as he said "if you want to come around to the back of the vehicle", I opted right out...
you should a comparison with the NEw Toyota 86.
What the hell are you doing holding the steering wheel with one hand at the top? Learn that from Vin Diesel?
what asian country are you from?
Great review
I wonder if the hood on the MX-5 is lower than something like a 3rd gen Prelude.
thats a low hooded car my friend.
The big problem with the BRZ is the power delivery / torque curve of the enigne, it's just really bad.
The MX-5 has a really big advantage there and is faster in every way. Also it's much cheaper where I live.
You give the brz between 220 and 250 hp, they would fly off the showroom floor even faster
I'd rather it lose 300-400lbs and eliminate those useless rear seats.
and put that engine in the back while their at it!
coffeeblak86 well dont get greedy now haha. I am just hoping when they refresh they add a performance model that actually ads some real performance. I dont know why they sell an sti model now with no real performance up grades under the hood. 50 hp is all I am asking.
coffeeblak86 It seems like under powering has been a bit of a trend lately for subaru. I am mean their crostrek only has 140 HP. I think they would sell alot more if they bumped it up to between 180 and 200 HP however with the BRZ at 200 I could see that they didnt want to encroach on their performance car with a small compact suv/wagon. That wouldn't be good for the brand.
I think they will keep the back seats for function even though its kinda pointless
wish the subaru came in a hatch
How about the BRZ vs 370Z.
Not even close to similar cars
Can you try and review a new 7 series BMW, would love to see their quality compared to these cars you have been reviewing :)
both their front ends reminds me of a manta ray lol
I'd get the frs
That means you take the BRZ
@@Jordanball-ib3iw nah I prefer the Toyota/Scion nameplate
if you could choose a Mustang GT prem or a Miata GT like the one you owe?
+Will Liang Miata .
@15:25 best part, speed racer yeeeeee
This time marker also points out every flaw of holding the wheel like a dumbass and the shifter at the same time ie. Cool guy driving position 🙄
you are the best, man
I love the Miata and the brz which one should I get for my first car. I'm going to put about 5000 down and I'm not to worried about the insurance. I'm more worried about the monthly payments and maintenance
Brz. But I think the mistake is easier to tune
Brz, more space, better cargo. More things to tune later. Miate if u don't even care about space.
+Antoine Manley Definately the Miata! You won't care about going fast and you'll have a bigger grin driving normally on regular roads. In a BRZ you will constantly feel the need to drag race and you'll lose, especially against Dodge Grand Caravans..
+misamisatv Never had the feel or the need to drag race other cars. Sometimes I'll be next to a Carrera GT3 or a Lambo. We'll aknowledge eachother and I'll laugh my ass off as they speed ahead and show off. Really, the BRZ is an incredibly fun car, once you accept that nearly every sports car will kick dust in your face. My friends love what I can do with it, and I love the precise control and feel of it. Squeezing out every ounce the car can give is really exciting.
The answer is always Miata.
Which one is the best for daily drive?
BRZ every year
Can you do a 2006 Acura TSX
That handbrake BRZ sure gives you a hardon.
