Our reviews give you two perspectives. Jakub takes the perspective of the car enthusiast, while Yuri represents the interests of the general consumer. You won't find details about engine compression ratios here, instead you'll have real world opinions on what it's like to drive and own cars.
6:04 Loved the shift-points and redlines comparison, really helpful to illustrate the difference in HP in the 2019 version.
Yes this! I watched it a couple times at 0.25x speed, really the best illustration possible of what the increased redline and HP mean for the car.
Slow vs very slow! Miatas are about more than just horsepower, but there are so many lightweight high performance engines out now, I don't know why they can't jam something more impressive in there. My mom's GLA45 grocery getter hatchback is 400hp, and under the hood its not large at all, and it does 0-60mph in 4.2 seconds. And Mazda themselves have the much hyped Skyactive-X engine that they are putting in the non-sportscar Mazda 3, and yet the Miata that is supposed to be a sportcar stays on an old engine design that is just tweaked instead of replaced. Sad.
I just want them to put their 2.5 turbo in it, my god what a car that would be. They did a turbo for the nb so why not now :P
It's not supposed to be a straight-line car...
Unlikely. The Miata doesn't even do well on the skidpad, pulling only 0.9G. By contrast their Z06 Clubsport pulled 1.12. Heck, even their 1984 Pontiac Trans Am pulled 0.98G. But my primary point is that the MIata is underpowered, and it is.
You guys filled that void of 2019 MX-5 videos. God bless you both.
I think we're the first video out?
@@TheStraightPipes yeah u are
The 2018 sounded a little better to me, but I still love all the improvements
i liked the 2019 more, the 2018 almost sounded more canned to me
edit: they are still so similar
edit2: i had a sound filter on so nvm
@@EmmaHopman the 2019 model has a bit more "mature" sound IMO
@IPSECMERLIN Merlin press x to doubt. sounds like someone justifying why he bought a 2018 lol
@IPSECMERLIN Merlin Ive driven both and the extra power and higher redline is great on the ND2. plus more modern amenities. I could tell by the way you wrote it you bought a 2018 and I was right lol. But objectively 2018 is not a better model. If it was they would be worth more than the used ND2
IPSECMERLIN Merlin I own a 2020 RF Grand Touring. I rest my case at 7500 rpm ;)
Amazing how quickly you guys got this video produced. Good Job!
harrismi7 Brutally fast!Kudos to Straight Pipes! Nobody came close. Nobody else has made a video about the 2019 MX-5! Shame on them! Maybe they felt so defeated they dont even bother trying.
Is this car reliable?? Compared to a Toyota?
I watched your ND MX-5 review since the first one (also watched them so many times, I loved the first one the most) It really help my decision making. Now I owned the RF for a month with no regret at all. I’m not a car guy and I normally don’t like to drive but since I got the RF I want to drive it everyday, no kidding, I really feel excited when I get through turns and corners. The car is indeed not fast but the agility, engine sound also a bit of wind noise make it feels fast. For me, it is quite practical as well, I drive it to work everyday, the trunk is enough for my bags and grocery for two to three people.
Anyway, I think the best part of this car is the looks. The surface design was beautifully crafted, the color is gorgeous (soul red crystal) I can feel that it is really a head-turner car. I don’t put the top down that much because I lived in really hot climate (now is about 30-40c) but it still feels fine, I really look forward to the winter (which is about 23c and yes, this is probably the coldest we can have here).
I really admired your work and please keep on doing it. Your fan from Bangkok, Thailand.
Amazing
100% best car journalists! You guys are the first that I've seen to review the new Mazda Miata! Thank you for being so quick to review such a new car on the market!
Joke's on you. I subscribed just after you put the top up - and this isn't even my final form
How dare you
OMG! Are you guys the first to review it?! I'm both impress and happy for that. One day!! One day I'll get a MX5.
You won't regret it mate! I've just gone 1 year in my 2017 RF and I still absolutely love it.
David Bourne is it 1.5 or 2.0?
David Bourne I gotta make it happen! But a quick question. I prefer the look of the soft top but I live in a tropical country and I constantly have to park my car under the sun. Is it a bad idea. Cause no one drive a convertible here in my place so I have no idea
2.0L. Here in Australia, we only get the 2L in RF form.
I'm not 100%. If you jump on to the Miata Forum and pose the question I'm sure you'll get first hand information quickly. I'd say as long as you keep up with maintenance on the cloth roof you'd be fine.
And mine is a yellow NA! The paint is called sunburst yellow btw :)
Do you think the 2019 made enough improvements?

TheStraightPipes no, still needs auto rev match.
TurgBurglar - Hell no. Or if so, only one that can be disabled.
The Club should come with kit that better stiffens it up. The Bilstein dampers and tower brace don't do as much as some stiffer springs and sway bars would. Granted most people who care about that are gonna upgrade all those parts anyway, but it would just be nice if the Club had a wider gap between the normal suspension.
Its the same car, and it didn't get the Skyactive-X compression ignition engine. Disappointment. It still won't come close to keeping up with a Honda Odyssey. I have a feeling when the new generation Mazdaspeed 3 is released, it will objectively beat the Miata in every way except hte ability to drop the roof.
DumbDuck44 - "it didn't get the Skyactive-X compression ignition engine" There were probably plenty of reasons for that. Namely that it's a brand new engine that they're going to test in their fleet vehicles before dropping into their sports car. But I do agree it's disappointed, and that we hopefully get it soon. "It still won't come close to keeping up with a Honda Odyssey." Only in a straight line, which is never what the Miata has been about in its near 30 years of existence. Look elsewhere if you care enough about that to compare a true roadster to a minivan. "I have a feeling when the new generation Mazdaspeed 3 is released, it will objectively beat the Miata in every way except hte ability to drop the roof." And, you know...still being WRONG wheel drive. And being as light. And having the same double wishbone suspension all around. But sure pal, totally the same or better in every other sense! /s
Great vid! Watched the start four times because it was just a beautiful lineup of scenes. Love the front plate with the hp superimposed on it. It still amazes me how you are able to film all of that and look relaxed and just having fun driving. That is passion for cars on a pro level man.
First 2019 review on the MX-5 I've seen. Excellent job guys. I knew the increase in HP. Nice to see the other changes and the side by side comparison on acceleration .
I've always had respect for Mazda. They stick to who they are as a car company and listen to their customers.
This 2019 MX-5 proves that. Awesome job Mazda!
I own a 2017 Club MX-5. I'm quite happy with the 155 hp. We have plenty of roads here in South Carolina I can take it up to what ever speed, but it's all in the cornering for me, and the downshifting. I love all that stuff. Back in my younger days I owned a '64 MGB, then a '66 MGB and loved both of them, but this MX-5 is so much more fun to drive, even with the electric steering, wish it weren't but I'll take it anyway. Can't stop driving this vehicle, much like it was back with the MG's. Of course it's a rag top roadster. That's what I paid for. Thanks for the review and keep up the good work.
Hey guys, had to stop in and personally commend you both on what is sure to be the best 2019 Mazda MX5 review video ever made, sincerely. Kudos. Really appreciate how thorough you were on every little detail of difference the new 2019 has over the previous year and what a welcome that 26 extra horsepower & redline will be too:) Great job! Really good review video and I will be getting one thanks to you.
Thanks very much
These newer styled MX-5's look soooo good. Best red color ever. Muffler difference -- the tone of the new one is pitched slightly lower at the beginning of the rev but at the higher rpms they sound pretty much the same. EDIT: Upon listening again with good headphones -- I was wrong -- the 2018 starts more low and guttural but then at the higher revs sound is almost the same The '19 sounds smoother overall,...maybe?
As a tall person whose always loved Miatas, this gives me hope. Now I just need to save up some money!
I have seen so many vloggers reviewing cars but these guys shoot the best videos of any car in motion.... So beautifully shot ...
The quickest i have subscribed to any channel
Great video guys! This had exactly the information I needed and I really appreciate the side-by-side comparisons. I've been reading all about the 2019 Miata and as an owner of a 2017, I was naturally curious. Test drove one at a dealer earlier today and came home with the same questions - which your video answered. Thanks!
Great review about the 2018 and 2019, AND bonus footage on the Mazdaspeed NB. You guys are probably my fav car duo since everydaydrivers doesn't provide content anymore.
124 dislikes from the people who own a 124 abarth
that's stupid, abbarth 124 spider is basically fiat version of miata, fiat collaborating with mazda to make that car
@@wiryawansetiadi3115 it's still a fiat motor though
Now that Mazda has upgraded the Miata engine, the 124 abarth is now more expensive w/ less power and less reliability
@@cn2673 Ha ha.
Now a 225i😂
Outstanding comparison... really well done... that couldn't have been easy to film, but super awesome to see in the video!
How on Earth is that door change a good thing? If you’re in a tight space you want it to lock in that first position, in the UK you have to open to that first notch and squeeze out all the time, the new first notch on the new car is wider than we have room for in a lot of situations. With what logic does this make it ‘easier to get in and out in tight spaces’?
Agreed. That door logic baffled me.
Thank you Christopher O'Grady. That doesn't make sense in any way. 3 locks are way more better than 2. Every manufacturer is saving money with just producing 2 locks and the most comfortable "middle lock" is missing now. Really nerve wrecking in tight spots.
I’m on the verge of buying a cabrio with a key operated roof just so I can leave the doors shut and climb in and out in tight spaces 😂
Christopher O'Grady Good enough for Batman!
In situations where space is tight you put your hand between your car and whatever is constricting your space anyway and dont lock it in position. And for when space is not such an issue but still enough that the biggest opening level is too much the new 1st level is inbetween the 1st and 2nd on the 2018 which is perfect imo.
Love this video. Especially that you compared the usability for taller (bigger) people. This is now my favourite car channel on UA-cam. 1M subscribers soon!
Thanks!
I still love my 1.5, I still love my 1.5, I still love my 1.5, I still love my 1.5, I still love my 1.5, I still love my 1.5, I still love my 1.5, I still love my 1.5, I still love my 1.5, I still love my 1.5, I still love my 1.5, (help me God).
Iñigo Zapata the 1.5 is the better mx5 I've driven both and I'd rather have the smaller engine anyday
The 1.5 has the higher red line anyway. It’s a great engine.
Bbr do a tune for the 1.5 that would be good, think flying miata deal for them in the states
The only change that got me thinking really hard is the telescopic steering wheel... but hopefully that can be transplanted later ;)
Tom Higgins the US doesn’t get the 1.5
Excellent. J'adore! French car journalists have a lot of things to learn. You are the best. Merci messieurs.
Merci
Miata is never the answer and I will continue to live in denial until Honda release a new s2000 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 jk, I love Honda but the miata is fricking awesome
Maticalise Music Master if Honda releases another S2000 do you think they will go back to Mazda for their rule Drive engineering prowess?
Maticalise Music Master, I've owned 4 S2000s and 3 Miatas. My current 2017 ND MX-5 is perhaps my favorite (although my '02 Spa Yellow S2k holds a special place in my heart). The ND is sooo much better than my '01 and '08 Miatas and a completely different car than an S2k. The ND is like an eager little puppy wanting to please it's master at all times. The S2k is more like a pitbull. Brutish and somewhat boring until you get its hackles up (VTEC) then it comes alive and puts a huge smile on its owner's face.
Yes, the Miata is awesome...and from what I've heard Honda has nixed the idea of another S2000.
I've owned two Miata's and now have an '06 S2K. The Honda feels like a true sports car, the Miata is a fun "sporty" runabout. Chassis dynamics, traction, power, and even style are so much better in the S2k.
Currently own an ap2 s2000 and a Miata. They cannot replace each other. They both are amazing cars in thier own way
S2kTi ..... So true! The love I have for my ND stems largely from the fact that I'm 66 years old, 6', 210lbs. and I'm supremely comfortable in that car. The S2ks were always a tight fit but the magic of VTEC was the siren song that called me to own 4 of them between 2003 to 2016. Now that I'm retired our day trips are longer and driving comfort is much appreciated. But you are correct. The S2k and the MX-5 are completely different cars. In the spirit of the British sports cars of old the Mazda is the rightful heir. The S2k carved its own path with its high revving 4 cyl. engines but IMO is more akin to the Boxster and Z3 as far as chassis dynamics and its larger size. Debating which lineage exemplifies what a "true sports car" is depends on ones own definition.
10:07. An important change that you missed: Non-exploding transmissions. The transmission in the ND has been reworked three times, so it's version 4 in all current models.
The v1 one in my '15 1.5l just blew up... out of warranty.
You guys are the best keep it up guys
These guys and Savage Geese are always much watch videos
Guys i've been folowing you'r chanel for one year now and it's amazing to see how you have grown in terms of quality or subs, I realy hope the best for you and I whant To thank you for all the effort you'r doing for us to enjoy. Big kiss from France.
Merci beaucoup
The ratio between horsepower and torque tells you the redline. Having 26 extra hp and basically the same torque already tells you it has a higher redline.
If you like high revving cars you want low torque, high hp.
I honestly like that they went this direction instead of just upping displacement. High redline seemed like exactly what the ND was missing.
Ryan yes, I much prefer high revving, but 7500 is only average for an NA sports car. I’d like to see 8500+
True. There's 8,000rpm Mustangs now. But at least they got headed in the right direction. Meanwhile Honda just won't give the people what they want... a true-to-the-original second generation S2000...
Ryan maybe one day we’ll get an S3000, a
I do not think this will ever happen. For my taste, Honda made a wrong turn after they stopped production of the S2000. I doubt that they would make a NA engine ever again. Politics killed it and even Mazda will move to supercharged with the Skyactiv X.
I love how you guys picked out the small differences like the door angles. Awesome video as usual! I love the Miata, and the changes they've made are small but I'm sure will be really appreciated by new owners.
Wow! Didn't know the 2019 version received so many updates! Good to know! I got to test drive the 2017 and 2018. Definitely looking forward to trying this version out!
Super happy you guys did this one. I've been reading up and looking at articles/media when they came out.
Here I am saving for a ten-year-old Porsche 911, when really I should just buy a 2019 Miata right now. Thanks, SP! Y'all are the best.
Get the 911
Byron Rich yeah...get the Miata. It is more fun to drive near the limit and you won't get a speeding ticket.
Problem with buying a 10 year old German sports car is that you need another 10k or 20k in the bank for when it breaks
If you are saving ten years for a car definitely get the cheaper car.
@TheStraightPipes 🙂 I admire this channel's frankness on whatever relates to driving enjoyment.
Can I be honest, I bought a mx5 nd2 with the recaro package bc of you guys. Love the car! Jet black bb
Whoa same music from Mazda6 review. Consistency and leitmotifs along with high production value. A+++
You noticed! 😉
Whats the title tho? 😭😊
You guys really seem to have the inside track from automakers. First review of this I've seen and you guys are the only ones to review the pre-production Veloster N. Well done.
🤷🏼♂️
Another great video. I like the follow of the miata clips including the one through cliche corner. I'd love to get one but 1) it's hilariously impractical with two seats and a truck the size of a backpack, 2) it's super hot in texas so taking the top down is asking for heat stroke, 3) for the price of a new mx5 club, you can buy a Mustang GT.
Could you guys start showing the engine bay?
Yeah we try to show engines on cool cars with cool engine bays. Lots are just plastic covers these days
Unless your 1st issue is the real problem, you're making a mistake by not getting a Miata. It's still fun to drive with the top up, & Texas still cools off in the evening. More importantly, it's more fun to drive than a Mustang GT. Also, if you're talking new vs new in the US, a base trim Miata is still $10k cheaper than a base Mustang GT. Only a fully loaded Miata matches the price of a base Mustang GT. Start adding options to the Mustang, & the the price difference increases again.
Daniel Isbell
I don’t disagree with you but when you give me a price tag of $37k, im always going to cross shop against a Mustang GT.
That's the thing though, only one option combination ends up with a price tag that high: RF Club MT BBS/Brembo. The more typical combinations end up in the $30k to $32k range, & if you're not concerned with options, the base model is closer to $25k (which is a reasonable assumption if you're willing to consider the base Mustang GT). I'm not saying that you shouldn't cross shop, but this is more in the Ecoboost price range than the GT.
Daniel Isbell
You should always cross shop. The hard thing about comparing a MX5 is that there is nothing out there that is comparable.... at all. Z3 would be the closest and I’m not sure they make those anymore. Even at $25k, you could get a 3 year old mustang or camero v8.
But if you have your heart set on getting a street legal Mario cart, then the Miata is your vehicle. Zoom, zoom.
Just what I needed when I got home from work! You guys should have 2 million subs with the entertainment you provide! Do you guys have a review of the Mazdaspeed Miata? I looked and couldn't find it?
At 6'7" the Miata has always just been a dream. But now with that telescoping steering column though..... ;-)
Andrew Schuld Still a dream.
I'm 6'6" and I manage just fine in my 2017. I'm more legs than torso though, and still only barely fit height wise. But it's such a fantastic car.
Another amazing video guys, Canadian rising to the cream of the crop!
After dental school, I’m going to buy a new Miata.
nice. i’m still trying to get into dental school. so i can get me one of theese
Won’t you be in a bunch of debt?
@@sayoshinakamario nope, military is paying for it ;)
Thank you for calling us the happiest, smartest people! In Australia we get the 1.5 and the 2.0. I chose the 1.5 because it has the higher rev limit already. It’s a sweet engine and I love it. The changes on the 2019 seem really good though.
So smart, so funny. Best reviews on UA-cam!! Please review an Audi rs3!
I bought a new ‘18 Miata GT in July 2018, and while I like the changes in the ‘19, I’m not sorry I bought an ‘18. I got a screaming good deal on mine, which I wouldn’t have gotten had I opted for a new 2019.
This ND is my first roadster, first convertible, and first sports car. After just a couple weeks with it I understood why everyone loves Miatas, and I absolutely love mine. Of the dozen cars I’ve owned and/or daily driven, this is easily my favorite.
You two are my heroes
you guys are amazing. I always enjoy watching your videos. keep doing what you do!!
I have an NA and a 2017 GTI, thinking on trading it for this miata...
Nice video guys! I got to play around in an RF this past weekend and it was a blast! Is the 2019 going to be offered in an RF?
When Yuri drives and Jakub is the passenger, your hair is both parted towards the centre of car. When you guys pull the ol' switcheroo....your hair is parted towards the outside of the car. Which is better? Did the handling improve?
What a car!
I heard the Subaru WRX STI Type RA-R some minutes ago and I think that it will save me the money to upgrade my STI in the future to the next engine STI. That's why I might add a Miata instead or a BRZ and keep my rumbling STI. The Miata which I drove in California and Nevada was a great car. Thank you for the video.
They need to have a 2019 limited run with flip up headlights
Can't...stupid pedestrian safety rules which is why they had to change them on NB
Deffo need to convince my wife to buy one. I had a 2017 but needed a van so I had to sell it, loving the changes, Mazda have really listened to the feedback given from customers and reviews
I really love the Miata I just wish it had AppleCar Play or AndroidAuto but it still is a nice car! In the winter I saw people in their miatas while it was snowing with their tops down! I wonder what that would feel like?
All "Mazda Connect" systems are getting AA and CP right away, it's a replacement control box and cable package. The problem is "right away" on car manufacturer time is friggin forever compared to, say, software update time so I expect some of them to roll around this fall or winter. Some people on the Mazda forums are pre-ordering the part numbers from China and self-installing and having OK luck, but I'm just waiting it out for my 2018 Mazda 3 GT.
Great video guys. I wanted to buy a new 2019 Mazda3 sedan this year with manual transmission but since they only offer the manual in the hatchback I have decided to buy the Miata instead! Now should I get the RF or the soft top? Manual of course! And what color other than red?
Power!!!!! Love the telescopic as well! That's soooooo useful!
I needed this video. Not just cz I love your reviews or love the miata and have always wanted one, but it was just so relaxing to watch. Thank you!
Off topic, for a non watch guy, Jacob wears a “watch guy’s” watch.. enthusiasts choice rather . 🤔
I see that skx 😋
I was scrolling through the comments to find something. I have the 007
Steven Pham I have the 009! 😁
013 owner here
I'm a watch guy
👍
Here in New Zealand we get the 1.5 and 2.0 I've driven both and the 1.5 is the one to have ,it's closer to the original na and revs to 7200 more power doesn't always mean more fun so 181 hp isn't that bigger deal really ,plus it's way cheaper to buy ...I'll stick with my 91 untill I get the 1.5 Nd...great review though.. cheers
Why does the doors have 2-3positions? Wouldnt it be better if you could stop them exactly where you want?
Beautiful review! You hit nearly everything we we're all concerned about. One thing, how did the dual mass flywheel feel?
Good
I didn't believe you were actually going to review the new Miata! Thanks a lot guys, I was secretly hoping for this to show up in my feed :D
We don't mess around. Except when we mess around
Anyone else saw the plate at 0:08? It's the little things that I love seeing in these videos!
I'm gonna guess that the simultaneous door shut at the beginning took 5 attempts.
alex androutsos 2
We show those on patreon behind the scenes
I bought this car in part because of this video. I got the 2019 RF GT Auto (because its my daily in LA)
You guys have any plans on reviewing the 2019 corolla hatchback?
Great review as usual guys, not sure how you guys pull off these reviews without constantly interupting each other. You definitely have found that formula that works. Keep up the good work. Subscribed, but not during this video. "Top up subscription," lmao.
I love that car, nice review guys!
Still happy I have a 2018 Fiat 124 Spider. Prefer the looks (literally get asked questions and pics taken wherever I go) torque and exhaust note are SOOOOOOOO much better. Great video
124 Abarth review coming
Miata Is Always The Answer.
I've had a 2016, 2017 and a 2019. I found one hell of a lot of difference between the 19 and the 17. I don't know what you were talking about? The 7500 redline changed everything about those two cars.
Miata is always the answer! Best miata review ever ;p
Great video Guys. Quite seasonal. I love the fact that you had access to the 2018. Very well thought out comparison. Good idea. Thanks.
You guys are awesome!!!
Awesome work on the direct comparisons, which I doubt many outlets will bother to make. The exhaust change is minor, but notable -- my 16' had a rasp to the exhaust, which the '18 in the video exhibits; the 19' exhaust is slightly deeper, without the rasp, which is inline with the sort of impact from the quieter aftermarket systems.
you guys should review subaru brz
Placed my order for a 1.5 ND about a week ago and just had to contact my dealer to make sure I’m getting a 2019 model after watching this. Luckily I am!
"We go for a drive in the 2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata" and dream of 2019. What's great about 2019 ? I WANT TO SEE YURI AND JAKUB RACE IN THE MICRA CUP in 2019.
Affalterbach 1967 Oh shit, them in the Micra Cup would be awesome.
Watch our Micra video. On patreon
Best car channel and comparisons. Subscribed
Thanks
These bad backup camera's are a joke...you can buy a cheap back up camera off ebay with 1080p quality, yet these automakers are giving us sub 720p camera's. This has got to stop !
Cars1999 Mazda didn't want to add a camera the stupid government mandate , which is stupid. Convertibles don't need cameras
I'm just over 6' and I fit in the 2018-ish ND quite fine when I tried it. A little cramped but I've had worse. Anyway, 2019 looking great with extra power. The real question is: Is it still called the ND?
Yes
Love the SKX 🙌🏽
Nice job guys! I'd love to hear your opinion and review of how the Fiat 124 Abarth stacks up.
hahaha Yuri loved that you stalled it eh Jakub
😬 -yuri
I did it on purpose (race car driver excuses)
I believe it hahaha
Funny, but there's a growing discontent on the door swing check discussion @ 2:10. The older swing system works better unless you are super small and/or have a massive garage.
Haha my roommate (who has a 2017 ND) was like "I should have waited!!!!"
They’ll turbo it to keep up with the 2021 brz and then you’ll wish u got that lol
Great video guys! While I do appreciate the increased horsepower, can we get some more torque and wider rear tires please!?
Is Jacob wearing a Seiko SKX007 on a jubilee bracelet while driving an MX5????
Yes
Oh, that's why I find it very familiar looking.
Wow good on you guys for getting this up so fast!
The 2019 Miata will make the BRZ / GT86 seem like a joke.
Honda S2000 AP2 already does. Kinda regretting buying a 2019 86
Nice review! I also live in Toronto and wonder where are those nice roads you always feature in your video?
When will they finally change the LED-daytime-runninglights? :/ The Miata needs a face.
Hope you got the 30th anniversary! Feels like they listened to your yellow reauest haha! There is a sound difference in the mufler in your video; the 2019 is slightly deeper.
Jakub, were you comfortable riding shotgun when Yuri drove? The last time I rode in a Miata and there was a marked difference between driver seat comfort/positioning and the passenger seat. The passenger seat room/comfort absolutely sucked, while the driver seat was just outside of tolerable. I'm 6'0 but I have the same torso length as a 6'6 friend, hence the clown car appearance when I drove it. It was ridiculous.
Passenger seat room is always terrible in the ND
I’m 6’2” and was wondering if I’d be able to be comfortable in one of these, including when th roof is up?
Keep up the good work! Glad you guys were one of the first to review it.
The first 😉
TheStraightPipes excuuuuuse me! Congratulations!
My favorite car
Are you guys the first review on the 2019 MX-5? Certainly the first I saw. So excited!
Anyone who needs a reverse camera in an MX5 shouldn't be driving
Ben Rogue I agree
Need and appreciate are different things...
Ben Rogue "if you need power steering to drive then you shouldn't be driving" garuntee people used to say that. Stop complaining.
Ben Rogue another use for the reverse camera isn't to assist you at parking but to also let you know that something coming. Have you ever been in a miata parked between these huge ass so called compact cars we have on the road. In my NA, most cars trunks are higher than my roof line.
Agreed, but it’s federally mandated in the US in Canada for the 2019 model year.
How the hell did you guys manage to get your hands on the 2019 mx5 weeks before anyone else??? There's no other video in youtube about it!!! Congrats for that!!
