BRZ vs Miata

I found this article to be a interesting quick read.

It was certainly only a matter of time before that comparison was made!

Re: BRZ vs Miata

What's the 0-60 speed of that BRZ with the top down?

I'm curious about the visibility???

Will I be able to see the Miata behind me or will it be lost in a blindspot?

How are you liking the miata anyway? Actually putting the top down or not really?

Seems relevant, so I'll just leave this here:

(didn't get a chance to read it myself yet though)

That depends on how you've adjusted the seat from the owner's position. This is another shortcoming of the BRZ - 6,000 projected available?

Incidentally, Miatas are also available today...

We'll see what the impending next generation Miata has to offer?

Hot or cold, sunny or cloudy... if it ain't rainin', the top goes down. I totally dig it. Working on the engine is a dream compared to working on a Subaru engine. (60k maintenance was a snap!) With its quick steering and new Star Specs, it feels and moves like a kart.

Count on it - I still bleed Subaru. They don't offer anything like this, though.

Don't worry Dave.
After you have passed it they will probably just be depressed and stop at a "trendy" coffee shop,
or "fern bar!"

Woo Hoo Subaru. Way to go freaking better than a 8 model year old car design. You should be very proud of yourself!
