- The Mazda Miata is a polarizing car. Today we're gonna see how this little roadster simultaneously appeals to both race car drivers and hairdressers.
Big thanks to Skyler! - @Skyler_nb
In today's 2002 Mazda Miata review, we're talking about the specs, styling, and features the car has to offer, and taking it for a test drive through some curvy roads to see why people love these cars so much.
This MX-5 is quite a fun little car focused purely around the driving experience. Despite its relatively low horsepower and acceleration, the Miata manages to be a blast around the backroads and on the track.
The car's light weight and low center of gravity make for a nimble mountain carver. Equipped with manual transmission and a convertible top, the NB Miata certainly does its best to make up for the lack of power.

The quality of video for such a small channel is honestly amazing made me feel like I was watching a donut media video.
Damn y’all really made my miata look good! It was awesome doing this with you guys!
Fellow NB Miata owner reporting in!
Just purchased a 2002 last week with only 42K miles. You hit my every sentiment after my first week of driving this FUN car. Great video!
I’m getting an ls Monday! Got to do a test drive and fell in love so quick😂 74k miles and mostly rebuilt
rip the yata😭😭 almost had me at the end
if you ask me it isn't under powered, its about bang on the right amount of power. i have the 1.8 nb2 and it lets you get away with all sorts. any more power and it would be all over the place. or in a hedge. probably in a hedge actually.
Great, short, video with valid points.
That endpipe tho...
That tail pipe tells me all I need to know about this video.
@@nighttrain1847 lmao everyone hated my exhaust (even i did towards the end) defo not doing that anymore ill tell you what
The Bosozoku exhaust is truly crazy :D
MX-5's are great cars
Not really...Oil leaking,very bad bodywork-rust is all over,gearbox also,differential,electronic problems...
@@milanandjelkovic3516
The only reason you are right with is rust. Yes, it is a problem and people have to prevent it. But all the other reasons you mentioned are not true in comparison to other cars.
Very nice vid man big ups ! ✌
I’ve got a ‘02 Miata with a matching OEM hardtop that will go up for sale in spring 2022. Completely stock. West coast Miata no salt.
Excellent vid! Hope yalls channel gets hits! The production was WELL DONE!
I have an 01 SE. Absolutely love it.
I have a 1999 10th Anniversary, I love it!
Great vid. Rip to his miata but I've been driving mine about 3 weeks and I couldn't be more happy. And I got it for a steal. Not bragging just hoping other people can enjoy a fun reliable relatively cheap car like me
Same bro :3
yea.. my poor NB, you still have your miata?
An '02 NB is not underpowered, not the JDM one anyway. 155HP is strong for a car of its size
Non of the videos I’ve watched do this cars size justice lol.. I’ve been driving a Toyota Yaris for 4+ years and that’s a small car. The Miata is half the size of the Yaris and that’s being generous lol. Can’t wait to call it mine tomorrow😂
Great vid. Sad to see another NB gone...
:(
Buddy at work is letting me make payments on an 02 Miata and a 2017 Elantra. Said he’d do both for 3500. Should have both vehicles Friday and I’m anxious to give that Miata a spin
It's more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow.
There are people that hate Miatas??? Blasphemy! You forgot to mention how stout they are. Mine has over 210,000 miles on it. 😊 ❤ Love my Miata! She's never let me down in 15 years.
This one also had almost 218,000 miles and it would’ve lasted me a long time the motor and transmission was still going strong! I can’t wait to get another one
My first Miata had over 300k miles and drove great when I sold it, they're tanks!
I have a sweet 2002 Lexus GS430, and am trading for a 2002 Mx5. I hope I like it.
He wrecked it. For every dead NB from some kid who can't drive just makes the value of mine go up.
Dodo wrecked it.
@@mr.e1220 it was super wet on the highway i was doing the speed limit too, just slipped out from behind me shit happens
@@mythicoastthat's where you screwed up. you're supposed to adjust your speed. have you gotten another yet??
@@LunaWaves nah not a Miata unfortunately, had an EG civic for a while but I’m currently working on an 80s BMW motorcycle
Im a owner.
And this Gokart ist just fun!
You hunting motorcyklis in Corners with original coilover.you have more grip.
I don’t know why some people think the Miata isn’t fast, I mean what are they comparing it to? It carries around 16 lbs. per horsepower, which is no more than a lot of cars, it is certainly capable of passing and exceeding all speed limits in North America. It is fast, you just have adjust your idea of the word in this context. The Miata is capable of maintaining great speed in the corners.
Don’t get me wrong, I love them and I intend to get one one day. But they aren’t fast, my mustang has more than twice the horsepower, does 0-60 in less than half the time, and has a considerably higher top speed… stock. But fast isn’t everything, and like they said a car can be fun to drive even without being fast
I want one so bad. Any generation except the first NC
Thank you for helping me decide on getting a Miata! Unless you think that a 1998 Jetta might be better
Guys I’m 1.95cm will I have a problem with the space driving it?
Why does he have Takumi's plates on a Miata?
i actually bought that plate for my eclipse before it went on my miata! i still have the plate actually! one of the only things i was able to keep from the wreckage other than my shift knob lmaoo
@@mythicoast wreckage? 😢
@@flamingphoenix1425 yea there’s pics at the end of the video, I wrecked a couple weeks after we filmed this. It was totaled and the wrecker that took it charged insanely high amounts for it to be towed half a mile to their shop so I wasn’t able to get it out
What is the address of that back road? I would live to drive on it!
Mine does 0 to 60 in under a minute :-)
The fuck is that exaust hahahahaha
it was funny at the time but like i said in another comment it was 2 years ago ill admit i didnt make great car design choices LMAO
Are those integra wheels on a Miata?!
The nb2 is definately not underpowered, especially one that's looked after
You can also slam a ls in it
Actually been thinkig about this again.
Sally Reim i saw a turbo miata once and im pretty sure the guy was pushing 600-700hp and he was beating a cammed corvette, even if they have the same power the miata is a smaller lighter car
@@rustyretired Exactly. I just have to come up with the money...
Sally Reim yea, but once its done man it’ll be fun
@@rustyretired right? 😳 😂
Silly exhaust.
listen man it was 2 years ago i didnt make great car decisions lmaoooo
I know they are not fast but 0-60 in 7.5 is not slow. Just saying.
Or just strap a turbo the size of a wheelie bin to it and you now have a mini rocket ship
that's really unfortunate... :(
Just got a 2002 67,000 miles😁
