I own both right now.
A 2017 RF Club with Brembo setup for SCCA STR
and a 2020 M2C
Both are manuals.
RF: The best shifter I've put my hands on in 30+ years of instructing and driving cars fast. Its my winter car here in New England.
The car at any speed feels fast, and fun. With its JRZ doubles and 650/350 Springs & 245/40 RE71R's it out handles my M2c. It used to be my daily and I'm in my 60's. Its got lots of wind noise, and you feel like your "wearing" the car. There is one really downside...I can't fit a proper rollbar under the RF's roof. Next one will be a soft top.
Oh and last the top goes down!
The M2: Its stupid fast, but is 1100lbs heavier than the Miata. Its solid as a piece of granite at any speed, and does everything well. It feels fast at much higher illegal speeds and requires a track to truly enjoy it. Its a tomb compared to my RF...
These two cars take care of all my driving demands. Out the door my RF cost me $35K. My M2 new about $52K (work for BMW). I get more compliments on the RF than on the M2.
If you can only get one get the M2. Its a great daily, but can also turn fast laps in skilled hands.
