2016 Mazda MX5 and Toyota GT86, both are made in Japan, have two door, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine up front, and a bargain price. But, which one is better? To begin with, Toyota GT86’s 200 horsepower will outdo the Mazda X5 any day of the week, and twice in Sunday. However, Mazda MX5 weighs 400 less with 2.0-liter engine. Regardless of its convertible bodystyle, is it good enough to make a difference?
Mazda MX5 is a victorious return to sports car first principles. It is an all-new yet pleasingly old-school sports car that is affordable, light, and lively of chassis. Toyota GT86, on another note, is designed to bring the much needed glamour to the Toyota range. It has more speed, more power and more grip.
Toyota GT86 comes with four-seater, with rear seats that are strictly for kids. The boot is in decent size, but users need to put in their luggage through a small opening. The rear seats can be folded for the practicality. Unfortunately, having Toyota GT86 on a long journey is still quite exhausting because the engine hums loudly on the motorway as you can hear the road noise.
In conclusion, both cars have their own pros and cons. Mazda MX5 and Toyota GT86, which one is better? It is up for you to make your own choice.
