ND Miata VS BRZ - Which Is The Better Daily Driver? 

Why does he say MYAtta? Is that a Canadian thing?

Simple, can you put the top down on the BRZ?

At 45k for Miata, I would upgrade to supra instead different category. I love my 2023 BRZ, only paid 31k for a Limited. I have it as a daily and my 2016 981 boxster gts for weekend. Big fan of boxster engines with low center of gravity. BRZ has its issues so it does need some tweaking: adjusted clutch pedal to have less dead space, added pedal commander( for more throttle opening), added oil pressure and temp gauges to monitor, and other little things.

BRZ is the better daily driver. I just sold my RF GT Mazda and loved the car. Just no room at all. My new BRZ TS is the better daily driver. Room to move and store stuff.

Brz is for sure the better only car solution but this being the twilight generation for ICE NA sportscars i cant help but think the Miata is the more special car and a surefire future classic.

Alright, stop it right there with that MY-AHH-TA nonsense! We give special dispensations for being Canadian but your using them all up! Edit: Great info from an owner's prospective, thanks!

Pricing wise your comparison is flawed, the ND starts at 28K USD add the RF, Brembo and body trim yes you get to 50K, I am not sure about the various packages with the BRZ, but as stated your sons sounds like its bare bones compared to your ND which is dressed for the prom. I like the look of the RF, but the rag top is the only way to go...... BRZ doesn't offer that option

Thank You for this very professional Review of two exciting sportscars. I own one MX5 ND 2 RF, too, and enjoy every single ride and won't miss ist anymore.

BRZ/86 is more practical as a daily. But I like both cars, they both have fans and its understandable as to why.

This is EXACTLY what I needed! I'm trying to decide between the two cars right now, and obsessed over the decision. I think I will go with the BRZ now, since they are about equal overall, but the BRZ is much cheaper.

BRZ/86 is a proper entry level sports car, Miata is a cute city car and is slower than BRZ/86 even the one with the bigger engine.

In a year or two I'd love to get a Miata RF, but at 10k more for a similarly spec'd car, I don't think I'll be able to justify it over the Subie.

Gas mileage, gas mileage, gas mileage. One gets 33 mpg as a daily driver, the other 22 mpg.

I can't believe how many videos there are about a car that has a backseat FYI the Mazda Miata is a two seat car and has been for a very long time there is no backseat or storage it is a tiny car this is not news . A 2+2 has two little tiny backseats you can put children and animals in it or unhappy adults and it will suffer performance at the benefit of practicality this is not news either You can also buy a WRX or an STI and put adults in it and suffer even more performance and get even more practicality all the way up to a school bus

You should consider the GR86 versus the BRZ. The suspension on the GR86 is a bit different than the BRZ's so it ends up a bit stiffer - it would be somewhere between the Miata and BRZ as far as ride comfort. And yeah, I didn't like the extra engine sound in my first-gen (2016) BRZ so I removed the sound generator pipe and plugged the holes in the engine intake and cabin. That's the only mod I've done.

You can have the dealer turn off the exhaust note. Or you can unplug it on the passenger side dash panel

Buy mx5 and lease the gr86

and don't forget about the oil pressure problems with that engine of the BRZ. I've seen quite few videos of those engines smoking on the track.

This gonna be me and my lil bro. He got an MX5 RF and I'm getting a GR86 😂

Bruh fake exhaust noises that’s so lame but I’m sure it’s easy to turn off hopefully and the Miata seats for a long time leave a lot to be desired especially with lumbar support but as always the Miata is never a practical car but that’s why I love it 😻 brz are dope but I prefer Mazdas driving experience like you said I’ve heard the acceleration isn’t as exciting in the brz and that the gear box in the older version were a bit iffy

Owned both, brz/86 can be your only car. The miata not so much, however if you have another car the miata is fantastic

I'm wondering why you offset the plates like that?

Thanks for your review and information 👍 ❤

Both are great remove the brz storage space and the soft top on the miata and the miata has better engine sound, less weight, the 86 has great out of box sliding ability and leas body roll and more sporting

The clutch is heavy? One of the biggest complains about the gen 2 BRZ is the clutch being too light and people end up replacing the clutch spring. I am heavily considering replacing the spring in my 23 BRZ. I can only imagine how light the Miata's clutch must be. I am 6'3" 220lbs, and never even test drove a Miata as it is pointless for someone my size.

"Average size" Porkchops! :). The Portuguese and Brazilians will get that joke. Great video. The MEEAHHHTA has a superior drivetrain and reliability. I love those Miatas even though I own a S2000.

Longer wheelbase for better DD

I watched this all the way through to see if they'd pick up a dozen pastel de nata.

The MX5 has a quality interior, unlike the 1990s plastic explosion in the BRZ plus Gasket issues, , the mx5 looks like a baby jag ❤

Myata.

I have the BRZ, but I like the looks of the Miata a little more. I'm guessing they're both fun to drive. I can fit two folding kayaks and gear in the BRZ. Myself plus two small adults when needed.

Calling your Miata a “MY-ah-ta“ tells me you subconsiously want to keep the Miata!

I believe both cars can be daily drivers, but the mx-5 cannot be your only car.

Mx5 RF 👍😉 .

This is really quite awesomely done. Keep it up

I think the mx5 caters to younger and old gen, brz for young gen

I'm sorry but does this guy really think its called a my outta? I cant tell if this is serious or if he just calls his that but it hurts my brain.

I have a daily MT NC2 Miata. I would not change it for anything. It's addictive, fun, and you can put the hardtop fully down with the roll bar installed. I owned two modified wrx[s], and while i loved them, I completely adore my Miata. It feels special all of the time. I love how the ND looks, but the NC is just a bit more comfortable.

Great content, keep it up!

One guy won't stop talking and the other won't talk😂

14k price difference 😬.
