The combination of high car prices and the imminent arrival of higher interest rates can make it difficult to justify spending money on a car primarily meant for fun. But these two models can put a big smile on your face without crushing your monthly budget: the 2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF and the 2022 Subaru BRZ.
Subaru has fully redesigned its BRZ sport coupe for 2022. Like the previous-generation car, this new BRZ is small and lightweight. But now it benefits from more power, sharpened handling and some new technology features. The Mazda MX-5 Miata convertible, meanwhile, has been giving drivers affordable top-down thrills for over three decades. The RF designation means it has the car’s available retractable hardtop design. Which rear-wheel-drive sports car is the better choice? Edmunds’ experts compared them to find out.
