I owned a Toyota MR2-turbo, Mazda Miata, Honda S2000, Infiniti G37 coupe, and three BMWs. I can tell you the Miata was hands down the most fun car I ever owned. Missed the Miata and will get me another one.
I see that disgruntled S2000 owners are on every MX-5 video. They've convinced me that the S2000 makes people miserable. MX-5 owners don't seem afflicted with an obsession for S2000s.
Finally a reviewer who UNDERSTANDS what the Miata is about and nails it on the head!! I have a '91 and an '08. About as different as two Miatas can be but I absolutely love both of them. He also did a great job of putting that idiot "chick-car" reputation to rest in no uncertain terms!!
***** s2000 was always much more expensive. I'd be happier with putting that extra money in a Miata. The answer is always Miata the s2000 great 10 year run but there is a reason the Mx-5 made it 25yrs and is the number one selling. I've known people that owned both and said the S2000 is much quicker in a line and they like that , but still ended up driving the old Miata because it was just more fun in the end.
+rockit1 yup but its gone- the used ones left are riced out to death mistreated by young street racers and are often stolen and expensive to insure- a miata still makes far more sense and is about equal and the new miata ends the debate- the answer is always miata!
Maximus Minimus true they are to find ,nice in good org cond.That's why I love my mostly stock 2002 *S2000.....its in a class of one imo.I like the Mazda no question ,grt car .I love my S2000 ,more than any other car I've owned ....that's why ill keep it forever.Have fun at 7k ...j/k ...maita is a fantastic car as well .9k shifts makes a big a diff imo ,and noting does that better than the one and only S2000.....yep I'm a fan for life.
I had a 96 Miata I daily'd for 5 years before it started to develop problems.. so I wanted to get another car. My first choice was a Miata, but the gf didn't want it. So I settled for a 2015 Ford Focus.. and I regrettably had it for 3 years now. 3 years of tears. Now I'm looking at a 2015 Club, and I can't wait to daily it. The best part of my day was driving.. so I can't wait to finally enjoy driving again.
Finally! Someone who brings up the fact that the purpose of a sports car is to DRIVE it , not to impress the jerks who think it's all about speeding. The pleasure of driving skillfully is the most. This car looks beautiful and it's not cluttered with junk to distract from what one is doing : Driving! Love it and the review. Thankx!
Good Review. Your info is spot on and you describe the driving experience very well. I picked up a new 2015 Club Hard Top for $4K off MSRP. I upgraded the radio, and had the engine tuned giving it an additional 18 hp. The car is now perfect, faster, and better audio and technology. Amazing second or weekend car. The fun doesn't stop!!
Yes I had the ECU remapped with Mazda Edit. It increased HP by about 15 hp and torque by about 12ft lb. Easy mod with nice results. Really wakes up the engine
If you want blue tooth and a better sound system do what I did install an after market sound system. Install coil overs and stabilizing braces and a new exhaust then it's really fun to drive.
Great review. I'm looking into getting an NC to replace my vw polo as a fun commuter. Older ones go from about £5k in the UK. Seems like a great idea to me
"Miata. Miata. Miata." Hasn't been called a Miata in decades. It is an MX5. Chick car? 75% of the sales of the MX5 are to men. Bad stereo? Buy a Sony head unit. Couldn't be a better fit. Paired phone. Bluetooth. Amazing music. Future videos? Less camera on you all the time and more camera on the car which is what everyone wants really to see.
@@carsonj4031 - You have no idea what you're talking about. People like you are what ruin social media. I actually own an MX5 and there is NO WHERE on my car that says Miata. NO WHERE. The MX5 underwent a name change a long time ago. It is no longer called the Miata. You can use that name if you wish but, no, it is no longer an official name for the NB, NC or ND editions of the car. Please don't spread misinformation and/or think you can correct me when you don't know what you are talking about.
absolutely no new info. Time for this guy to make a few changes: 1- get yer fax straight (2013 - 1990 = 23 years) 2- be precise as opposed to rambling on saying how much fun this is. 3- Honda FR-S? etc., etc.

Everything in the universe is telling me to buy a nc miata. That includes ur comment. Only thing is RUST😭😭

Thanks for the kind words Krista!
This car is heaven-sent. Always was the best roadster, always will be. I MISS my 1997 so badly!
***** the S2K is great, other than the $5-6,000 a year it will cost you to insure it.

+tikijojo thanks!
Did you do an ECU remap? How did you increase the power?
Yes I had the ECU remapped with Mazda Edit. It increased HP by about 15 hp and torque by about 12ft lb. Easy mod with nice results. Really wakes up the engine

its technically called the mx-5 miata. Both names are correct.
