The nice Porsche Boxtser even used, is way more money. The BMW Z4 and Nissan Z both more money. Obviously Ford Mustang too big and heavy. What else is there in this type of car? The Miata as a base entry level is about $30 and drives the same and looks the same. So get the Base and enjoy.
@@YOSHIMOTO_HI_SPEED - Drive the base it’s only about $30k. That’s a good value considering what other roadsters sell for new. As you know a new Boxster is about $80k. That’s a luxury car but it’s not that much more fun on the road than a Miata. The Nissan Z and the BMW Z4 are also much more money that $30k. When you check it out all cars are expensive new. Used Miatas can be had much cheaper too!
@@markg1531 - As an owner of the 2023 RF GT I agree. I paid close $40 after taxes and fees. But my choices were limited in this class of car. I wanted a new car and this was the best roadster at any price in my opinion. I’ve owned a Porsche Boxster and it’s a great car but I was not confident on trips should it have trouble. The Miata is more reliable and cheaper to repair sand live with if you’re on a budget.
@@BlackNAVYAmericanVET - it’s for weekend joy riding and totally not good for daily use. Not as only car…. Unless you’re very young and agile! I’m old… but young at heart and love driving this car. Manual 2023 RF GT in Soul Red
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Agreed. That’s what I have and it’s truly a blast and worth the money as long as you have extra cash for a second toy for weekends! 😊. It’s totally ridiculous as a daily. Way too small and impractical and uncomfortable for 90% of drivers.
We have the 2023 MX5RF manual. One is crazy not to have a 6 speed gearbox with this car. Me and my wife use this car 90% of the time. Who would buy a car just for a weekend?
@ I have the same car and love driving it. However, I also like some added comfort and space. So, I got another car for longer drives and space and comfort. I have two cars. My daily driver is a Toyota Camry hybrid. That car is a perfect daily with amazing gas mileage and it’s actually fun to drive. It’s also very spacious. The 2023 Manual RF GT Miata is incredibly fun. These are two totally different cars and I love them both for different reasons. I wouldn’t want to drive the Miata on a long trip because my lovely wife would refuse to accompany me. The Miata is the smallest car I’ve ever driven and there are compromises. It’s very cramped and has virtually no place to put anything. The seats don’t have much adjustment and there’s no room behind you to stretch out. The trunk is extremely small too. On the highway you will not be seen by larger SUV and trucks. 99% of other vehicles will dwarf you. Pray you don’t have an accident. Especially a rear end or t bone. Bottom line it’s a motorcycle on four wheels safest wise. There are no safety ratings from the government or the insurance industry. Check it out I did. This is my third Miata. I daily drive my second one for three years. Enjoy yours!😀
I always hate it when reviewers rive a cold engine. Either ignorance or just no respect 4 the car. Please someone tell people not 2 tive up a cold engine on any car.when someone does this they instantly lose my respect.
When did I do that? Car was fully warmed up, I never rev a cold engine…that’s what editing is for. I can review the car, rev it once I’m done and then put the clip in the video where I need it to go…
Bro , how do you think the car got there? It's already warmed up. And why would it bother you so much? "No respect for the car"? Do you even have a car?
@@ronstewart7920 mx5 is way more technologically advanced. The z is archaic, but thats kind of what gives them charm I guess. Preferably I like the 350z design over the 370z
Great review! Thank you!
Appreciate the kind words!
These cars look so good
But the price is best to get them used
$40 is a little steep
Yeah it's certainly not cheap

It’s worth every penny in my opinion. And with inflation, 40k is not a lot of money nowadays.

Some body roll is a good thing, not a bad thing.
Yeah it helps keep grip up. The GR86 has much less roll, but you can drift it easier. So just depends on what you want
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Exactly.
Does it have a 12V accessory socket?
I think in the center there was. Should be able to see it in the video if it had one
I have a 2024 MX5 and it is a touch screen with Apple CarPlay and android auto.
It's only touchscreen with apple CarPlay or android auto, not touchscreen otherwise.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed only with Apple or android. Otherwise you are using the dial which I don’t really mind.
@@annv4338 yeah, that’s what I said.
MX5 GT is GREAT FUN CAR* reliable . great looks pay attention to detail quality. Consumer Reports.#1
Yeah the Miata offers a lot!

No need for a Manual to have lots of fun right? It’s all about handling fun and driving fun..
Depends on the driver. I'd prefer a manual in this car to have more engagement out of it
I have chosen the manual. To me it’s much more fun, engaging and it gives you more control over the car.

just buy a preowned 370z
Yeah another good option!
