When we’re talking sports cars, numbers don’t matter. Sports cars are all about driving pleasure, and how they make you feel – the fun factor, if you will. And currently there is no other affordable sports car that is more fun to drive than these two red hot chili peppers: the 2013 Scion FR-S and the 2013 Mazda MX-5 Club. But which is better? Which one to choose?

To find the answer Motor Trend’s Carlos Lago hits the road, and the skid pad, in these cars. Sometimes this job is very good, you know!

Like most other comparison tests we’ve seen, the winner of this one too is the MX-5. The reason for that is probably because the Mazda is fun even when you are driving on the way. It is fun to get the groceries in. It is even fun to park!
