- The Mazda is the reasonable choice, but is a bit too bland

- The Fiat is the odd one. And sounds like nothing else.


Nice choice to have, enjoy the process of choosing.

MX5 RF ?? Sharper styling than the soft-top, less bland to my eyes. I like the understatedness of the MX5 RF, the Abarth Spider is more shouty in its character?
