In S 22 E 7 of Top Gear, Clarkson and Hammond argue whether the Alfa 4c or the Miata ND is better at the end of he episode and I can’t understand why they would even compare these cars. The ND is half the cost and half as powerful, just why? They could have compare the Miata to a GT 86 which is much more similar. I don't get it.

Two very similar cars they tested but that have very different dynamics are the BMW Z4 and the Boxster. Similar power and price, sure - perhaps they were just referencing the way the cars drove and which one they’d take home at night.

I guess you could have a 4C or a daily ND and track ND... lol

This is the same show and same pair that argued a camaro SS is comparable to an E-class AMG. And of course, the AMG blows the camaro out of the water because it costs the same as TWO camaros.

Both are light rear wheel drive cars. One may cost twice as much but is it twice the car? Boom! There is your comparison test synopsis.

Yes, you can compare them like that, but it would have been much better for them to compare more similar car than the 4c (like the gt86). The 4c competes with cars like the Boxster, Exige, and M3, and you don’t see anyone cross shopping those with Miatas

They did reference which they would drive home and the driving characteristics if I recall correctly, but Clarkson’s argument that the 4c was better because it was faster and a more pure sports car was stupid because those things the Miata wouldn’t be able to have because it costs so much less

Must have a memory of that segment. And both are pure sports cars, in my opinion.

I’m with you. Why not compare the Miata to a 458 Spider? Surprise, the Ferrari is better. What a worthwhile test that was.
