The quality of the interior alone makes the MX-5 an outstanding value proposition. Plus, the design is reminiscent of a 2/3 scale F-Type. Well done (except for that tacked-on display screen; for some reason, manufacturers nowadays imagine that making the screen look like a tablet glued to the dash is attractive) .
IM IN LOVE. Amazing review my dude! Sad I didn't get to see you driving around our North Carolina backroads in this car! Gotta love these MX-5's! :) Can't wait to drive this car!
Hey there Kyle! I'm so eager to see you're in depth review of a NA MX-5, the first gen, and see your reaction to its pure driving pleasure! (i own one, its like a road legal Go-Kart)
Another good one Kyle👍🏾. I wonder why didn’t they utilize the open space under the targa cover like the MP4-12C/650S/675LT spider when the top is up? I like how you’re able to use every space available when the top is up in those spider cars.
Remove that plastic wind deflector and the buffeting is reduced a lot. Worked wonders on my RF and feels more like the soft top allowing more air to flow. Plus the visibility is better with it off.
We going into 2018. We don’t need an explanation on how to turn on the car, or unlock or lock the car door. Everybody I know has that standard on their car. Other than that great vid
It isn't as common around here. My Miata is the first car I've ever owned with advanced keyless entry & push button start. The only other experience I've had with it is in my dad's Prius. It wasn't as common 3+ years ago, so there are probably many drivers that don't know much about it. It's probably not worth spending much time on, but doesn't hurt to mention.
This car is far from perfect, it has many flaws and requires compromises.. that's the beauty of it.. totally happy with my Sport Recaro soul red RF! Low on HP, fair.. but I wouldn't want to drive it faster than 70-80 mph.. it's scary and tail happy at low speed... at high speed its even worse ahahah... Thrilling and fun. Constantly smiling and shitting my pants.
I wanted to like this car. Until I rented it for a few days. I will never buy this car because it is too small. This is the smallest car on the road, being on the freeway sucks, even a Prius looks huge compared to this. Being so small, it is hard to get in/out and there is no space for things you want to take on a road trip. If you are thinking about buying this, do yourself a favor and rent it for a few days first, I bet most people would never consider this car after driving it for a few days, a test drive at the dealership will not show you these faults!
Its size is what makes it so awesome. The light weight makes for a much more enjoyable drive. It also gets surprisingly good gas mileage. I tend to see around 26mpg city, 36mpg hwy (US), & have seen as high as 41mpg with a long flat stretch of interstate. Yes, it's harder to get in & out of, but it's no worse than other typical sports cars. Yes, it's limited for storage space, but it's not so bad that you can't take a weekend trip for 2, or a longer trip alone in it. These are compromises that are well worth it for the benefit of a more nimble sports car.
$34,000 for a retractable hard top targa convertible with increasingly premium features and build quality PLUS the already great handling and driving characteristics still make this car a steal. It's seriously one of the best driver's cars this side of a Cayman S
You're crazy. The MX-5 is consistently rated one of the best sports cars available, for its pure driving enjoyment. In this tester, you're paying a lot just for the roof, but the MX-5 can be had much cheaper than this. Either way, it's well worth the cost.
I love how the videos have evolved so much over the years. Saabkyle04 is the 🐐!
Mazda MX-5 is amazing. We all love it and it is very close to our hearts.
Unfortunately it is not available in Qatar.

Just bought this car in the club trim with the hard top... it's amazing
lucky
Man I would consider one of these if they weren’t so impractical for day to day living. Love all the upgrades and the new looks!
Beautiful rear wheel drive sport car you pick the best kyle you pick the best cars to review
Currently my favorite model - wish they could manufacture more of this excellent roadster
Great review Kyle!!! This is my dream car!
I can't wait to get one some day!
Hey there Kyle! I'm so eager to see you're in depth review of a NA MX-5, the first gen, and see your reaction to its pure driving pleasure! (i own one, its like a road legal Go-Kart)
@Saabkyle04 Amazing in depth review as always!
That MX-5 is definitely a small car that is fun to drive! This car is known as Mazda Roadster in Japan.
Excellent review. Very professionally done.
Finally, Kyle reviews a Miata!
He already has the soft top ;D
The Mazda MX-F is a cute little sports car. Looks like a good car!
This new MX-5 looks BADASS!
These are fun little cars. Such a blast to drive!
Do you have one?
SAABKYLE04 can you please do a video on a 2018 mazda 3
Can you do a Mazda CX-5 2017 review please???? Thank you!!
So the engine does sit somewhat behind the front axle, does it not?
I love that tan interior!
Start Up 0:52
Engine 1:01
Exhaust 1:10
Watching these high is hilarious, great review tho
Do the Dodge Durango SRT please.

Very nice
What happened with that yellow Porsche Cayman getting borla exhaust ?
Wow that looks really nice
Did you notice any wind buffeting at speed with the top down? Other reviewers complained about it being worse than soft top version
Remove that plastic wind deflector and the buffeting is reduced a lot. Worked wonders on my RF and feels more like the soft top allowing more air to flow. Plus the visibility is better with it off.
Review a 2018 Lexus LC500 !
the hardtop is much way better then softtop version in my opinion
flawless
although i'm liking this car and it's interesting
but i can't see why should i pick this over the Type R ?
someone rwd
Can you reiew the Infiniti QX70s please!?!?
Man that's awesome how you just have to push a button and your hardtop is up or down. My Miata I have to take the whole damn thing off.
at least you do something in the miata ^ _ ^
My brother's friend likes Mazdas she likes the Mazda CX-5
too bad, the Miata only comes in automatic transmission in my country
Daniel Jiao that should be a crime !
Daniel Jiao where do you live?
Luca Salerno I live in Indonesia
Daniel Jiao ah that's strange because even in America they sell it manual
i’d rather have a dual clutch over a manual trans
Can you please do a video about a Mazda mpv 1991 4x4 v6
Kyle how come Chris is selling his Porsche?
the circle air vents and the raised infotainment system reminds me a little bit of a Mercedes
COOL In Depth Review: 2017 Mazda MX-5 RF Grand Touring
Love the rf miata
Can I keep this 2017 Mazda mx-5 ref please man
Very nice car but I still prefer the simplicity of the soft top.
CarShow210 thank you finally someone agrees that the soft top is the best option
Man this sucks, UA-cam did something to you, you have more than 1M subscribers & after a few hour only 7.2k views?
Koji Takata Dead subs I think. And not everyone is using the bell notification.
Nice car 👍👍
Nice!
If only it would have just a 1.6t or even a 2.0t to push it to 200hp with a good price and then it would be a sporty car
Pretty car.
WE WANT 240SX VIDEOS!!
Do the Audi RS7

this is the nice car and beautiful car
Its so odd how the engine sounds like it's knocking when it's not.
@Saabkyle04
Please review 2017 Toyota Corolla iM. Thanx
However from some angles the RF looks weird. The softtop looks better imo
2017 Mazda Miata RF MX5
Why does it sound like he's reading straight from Mazda's press release?
Rainman..
He is
The front of it looks like the Scion FR-S
Needs to be lowered 2.5" - 3"
miata all the way
Love ya boi
This needs an LS1 swap!
Contact Flyin Miata out of Colorado, they have a 520 hp LS3 model available.
This car is far from perfect, it has many flaws and requires compromises.. that's the beauty of it.. totally happy with my Sport Recaro soul red RF! Low on HP, fair.. but I wouldn't want to drive it faster than 70-80 mph.. it's scary and tail happy at low speed... at high speed its even worse ahahah... Thrilling and fun. Constantly smiling and shitting my pants.
Oh yeah manual love 😍😍 btw coincedence or not a month ago I saw a 2002 one
they're very common. "Coincidence" lmao
Paul Grof I probably saw around five earlier today... How is that a coincidence lol
Why don't they make a 124 spider RF
DO A NISSAN 370Z!!!!!! THE NEW ONE
You realize there isn't a "NEW" one. Its been the same exact car for years and years....
60mph in 6 sec seems kinda slow for such miniature car
WOW
Good review as per usual.... But I'm just not into watching reviews of vehicles like this. Can you showcase a 570S Spider?
Not hating at all but the engine kinda sounds like rattling, or is it just me?
Ricardo Venegas that's just a characteristic of the engine, not a rattling but injector noise.
Do to the direct injection....
450th
This is a Mazda mx-5
1:01
That engine rattles really bad.
David Blalock - Livin' Life no it does not it sounds like a four potter overhead cam with chain drive
Automatic convertibles suck
Manual is the best
Btw some dude said an ae86 sucks and i killed him
That tan interior makes me want to throw up
Omfg it's not an MX5. It's a Miata lol

aloo-min-um?
$34,000 for your tester?! I know it's loaded but my goodness, the MX-5 is horribly overpriced for what it is.
KentB27 when it’s one of the most bought sports cars, you can charge more for it.
KentB27 the base model isn’t even close to that price, the base Miata starts at 24,000. The rf starts at 31,000 becuase it has to.

datsteve not only that the looks are fucking sexy
Still a great car, but then again I’m not a big fan of the engine...
$34k?? It's nice, but it's still a Miata.
Firat!
First
Raul Nemeș la ce esti primu?
such an ugly car
Agree my Vw Polo diesel is ugly too, but is also slower and cost half price of the Mazda... just 15.000 euro
GaBIT you’re clearly in the very tiny minority that think that..
All RFs here in Australia get the LSD and 2.0 engine
