Love the car scotty
I would like to hear how it compares to your Celica.
cannot be underestimated how much having a garage helps a cars life
YUP!
A garage does a lot for a car’s life. 😊
Not necessarily because don't put a wet car in a garage plus it can get very dusty in it too. A car port works better, I suppose it depends on which country you are talking about. Plus in the UK which is a damp country & generally have small garages on average, which cannot take large cars
Every men must have. And manwomen. 😂
I'm the original owner of a 2001 Miata, bought in December of 2000, waited till spring to drive it, garaged kept, and 125k miles later, still going strong, with only modifications, replaced top, and many batteries, only issue I've had. 😊
Use a battery tender on your battery when you're not driving it. My battery lasts for over 7 years. But if you live in an extremely high temperature area such as Bullhead City, then I don't think many batteries last long regardless what you do.
I've had my MX-5 for almost 10 years, oil filter changes, fresh set of plugs and new tires. Only 80,000kms, I only drive it between May - October. I look forward to driving it every time.
I had one for a year. Really miss it, brilliant cars but mine rusted so badly that I had to give it away for 1/10 of the cost I bought it for
That Mazda is a garage queen. Not everyone has that luxury to keep a nice weather car like that.
My Friend Tom a Auto store (Napa) bought a Mazda. He said it was fun to drive and zippy. He wanted to give it more get up and go and ordered a small super charger. When it was completed he showed it to me and I joked well is it faster. He smiled and asked me if I wanted a ride to see. I've had a sports car before but I wasn't prepared to the for this little beast. It accelerated beyond what I expected. What a huge difference!!
You have a auto store named Tom and he's your friend. Wild.
Lmao😂😂
@@christopherhutchinson694 What dose LAmo mean Knucklehead !!
Half of car redditors hate my 2024 cx5 because it uses older technology.
I like it because it uses older technology.
Its just a 6 speed automatic. And only gets 25ish mpg (Turbo variant) but it shifts super smoothly. Better than any 8 or 10 speed ive had.
It has physical controls, and the biggest plus my trim doesnt have that auto start auto stop feature!
I bought one new in 92'. Fantastic car. IMO, 2024 is the best one they've ever made.
Few people on Earth despise that stop start system as much as I do. I know the Miata doesn't have it yet but in other countries they do so it's coming. Are these the last two vehicles in North America that don't have it? I know the 5.0 Mustang finally got it in '24
Analogue forever 👍
WHAT? ANALOG? HOW? My interest is piqued. How much?
@zaiten2012 I paid $36,000 for a White Carbon Edition Turbo.
0% APR 60month, $39,000 MSRP.
It was the end of the most recent November.
Big yellow sign in the neborhood says slow children at play an scotty punches it right past testing the turbo 😂
If you sent your kids to school... they wouldn't be slow and they wouldn't be in the street getting run over. Win win
We got those signs at the entrance to the local Indian reserve
How come only the slow kids get a sign?
@@ryanbrandt5404 I don't think you understand the point of those signs, dumb dumb. Pedestrians have the right of way, not to mention children walking or crossing the street.
@@ryanbrandt5404 burns i 1:33 but if it is summer and school is not in session, the kids may be out playing. Unless it is 95 plus degrees out. Like it is right now where I live. 😦
Did Scotty say don’t buy Toyota ? What a hell is going on 😮
I wish Honda would bring back the S2000 two seater convertible.
Also the CRX
I had a pretty low mile (80k-ish) 1999 NB about 8 years ago. A family member has a 2008 NC with 260,000 miles on it. Daily driver. Great little cars.
“Only oil and tires in the last 14 yrs” wow these are reliable “and its only got 46k miles” oh
And sits in a heated garage in the winter.
@@Madison.Rutherford lol exactly
Love my Mazda Miata MX5, I've got a 1999 model with less than 35,000 miles on the clock. A beautiful little sporty car, so much fun to drive, no turbo but goes fast enough to get you into trouble.
More fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow 😎
I have a 2004 Mazdaspeed MX5 exactly like that. Same color. It's so much fun to drive I ALWAYS hate to have to get out of it when arrive at destination. They're highly sought after largely because so rare only made in 2004/05 bc fire in factory 2005.
I have been driving a 2014 6 speed club edition, LOVE it will keep it
I have a 15 years old mazda where the oil has been changed 5 times in those 15 years.
Still runs smoothly even though i have been redlining the engine every day for 2 years. Imo the most reliable petrol engines ever made are by Mazdas and toyotas. Absolutely bombproof
Use the Pennzoil Platinum that Scotty recommended.
*Honda joined the chat*
@@KiwamiJoryuI'm glad Honda is here. Bring back the S2000, are you listening Honda?!
@@thisismagacountry1318 I use millers nanodrive oil. Noticeably smoother. I recommended it to 5-6 of my friends/family members, they all noticed immediate difference.
@@thisismagacountry1318It is thr Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, the best one.
Well, Scotty "Chaser Racer" 2008 Scion xB has a Turbo on his. Right here on UA-cam. 350hp and 333trq. Beating Vettes, 5.0 Mustangs Dodge challengers in the 1/4. Does all his own work. That was his old setup. Now he's trying to get 600hp reliably... Turboing is fun when done properly. 😊
Bought my 2007 Mazda 3 Hatchback brand new 16 1/2 years later still running , normal repairs.
I have a 2002 Miata Nb2. Sure they don't break, but they sure do rust.
Have one in velocity red with 38k miles. Such an easy and fun car to drive
I am the 3rd owner of a 2007 Miata RHT Touring, I received it with 134343 miles on it January 2021. I replaced the mid pipe to remove the resonator that made hearing my passenger difficult with the top up the stock 15 lb muffler with a 4 lb muffler, and I had to replace the shocks, and sway bars because my Subaru Baja went around corners with less body roll. I now have 156598 miles on it and it is still running great. I had Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires (215/40) installed on after market wheels, these tires are more predictable and hold corners better than the Continentals it came with.
I absolutely love Miata's/MX-5's. The only problem is, at 6'2" tall, I absolutely don't fit in them. 😞
Same here, but only 6'1".
Every time I've seen people drive these they were tall lol it was my dream car in high school.
@@babydahlin6976 - I've driven a couple of them. With the seat all the way back, my knees were still hugging the steering wheel. It was awkward as heck to manipulate the clutch because I had to keep my left leg tilted over to clear avoid the steering wheel. With the top down, the top of the windshield is right across my line of sight. With the soft top up, my head is firmly pressed into it. I can only imagine how that looks from the outside. With the RHT models, there's a little more headroom because of the curvature of the top, something the soft top doesn't have, so my head is not in direct contact in that case but the other issues still exist.
Big fan, the car you feature is an NB (2nd gen); I drive for 10 years now the 2 successor models NC / ND, magnificent fun cars. Engine behind the front axle and seats close to the rear one. It's so nice to feel it turn around its own axle in corners, balance is fantastic.
Yes, power isn't that great but you really don't care enjoying it on windy roads with the top down.
The Japanese automakers of Toyota and mazda know how to make great reliable cars they are very smart and intelligent
you really can fix a mans mood, I love your videos
Mazda builds a good car. My sons 2018 Mazda 3 has been problem free since new !
Miata is one of my favorite car specially the NA model lsd flip lights non interference engine easy to work on and maintain aside
I considered this miata when i was looking for a cheap used sports car like 10 years ago,
And i ended up with a toyota MRS , and i am very happy with it.
My wife and I each have 1. Got em when they were cheap
It would be awesome to have you make a video on my 20 year old car
Just sold my 4Runner and downsized to a cx30. Very happy with Mazda.
Mazdas aren't bad. Some of their automatic transmissions over the years have been only so/so but their engines seem to be solid.
It is low mlieage, but it is 20yo.
My friend swore by her RX7.
My family drove Miata’s for 25 years. Manual shift. Great cars.
Great Scotty and now the price just went up because of your wonderful video,
Those MazdaSpeed Miata's are expensive and rare. One in great shape like this could go for over 25k.
Your absolutely right.... I went and bought 2 1986 Chevy k10s instead
this is speed miata - special version for USA only. Over 5228 were manufactured and only that. It has factory turbo, but in europe we have those weake 1.6, eventually 1.8 naturally aspirated and weak.
In the UK if the MX-5 is your thing, go to BBR who offer great upgrades including a supercharger option.
Whoa! Scotty mentioned a junk yard without displaying a picture of a Chevy dealership. A first!
I had an 03' Miata for a few years and loved it! Great car :) super fun and was very reliable. Parts were cheap too if you did need to work on it.
yeah the old mazdas were basically bullet proof. I had a manual mx-6 when I was young. I tell you I red lined it every time I shifted up. I beat the piss out of it for a long time and never had 1 problem with it. The newer ones are not even a shadow of their former selves.
I had 7 miatas 1.6 and 1.8, everything that Scotty said is 1000% true
“Stop buying Toyotas”
Literally every other video for the past few years by Scotty, “Toyota is the only reliable vehicle now. Buy only Toyotas.”
I know right. Wife drives a 2021 CX30 and it has been in the shop more times than my 2012 Camry and 2017 4runner combined lol
I don't think newer car's will ever be as reliable (& easy maintenance ) as older cars 😢
Toyotas quality and dependability have taken a nose dive as their prices have went way up !
I bought a Toyota yaris mk3 because of his reviews 😢
now?
A mark of superior intelligence is the ability to update one's views based on new information.
very underrated brand, they're indeed affordable and design looks luxurious
My 2000 Miata has 181000 miles on it. Everything works and it doesn't burn or leak a drop of oil.
The new Miatas ND / ND2 / ND3 are a blast to drive because of the instant throttle response & flat torque curve from the naturally aspirated 4 cylinder engine. They are much quicker than the NA / NB Generations & also beat out the NCs.
I'm a truck driver and I know -- you're absolutely right . . lunatics lol
Really enjoyed this video scotty thanks man.
The Lotus Elan inspired the MX-5. Code free after 20 years. Amazing.
I had a 91 Capri with a Miata drive train. What a complete price of crap it was. A huge hole in the ground. I spent so much on engine rebuild and then it blew up. Now my Toyota Solara convertible. Now that's a reliable long lasting car and it would have the Miata powered engine for lunch !!! Long live my 3.3 V6 Toyota !!!
Autocorrect piece
Buy one quit hoarding all that money
he’s got more money than JP Morgan
Too funny…I read our friend here rakes in 85,000 US a month from Google….time to treat yourself Scotty…you ain’t taking it with you and your no Spring chicken!
Buy it and LS swat it.
To Whom Much Is Given Much Is Expected
You couldn’t pull a toothpick out of his arse with a tractor 🚜
That’s how tight he is 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Have same one since 2005, never have done anything other than new battery , tires and oil change. 6 speed manual and really scoots. This model just not built for anyone over 6 feet tall
Scotty, You are a very talented man of your trade with that expression of HIGH knowledge in motor vehicles. Scotty, What Direction should Toyota Motor Corporation should do to fix their issue with their twin turbo V6 thats in their latest high end Trucks and SUV's.?
“These don’t break!” 😂😂😂
1:40 The downside is that people over 5,9 can't FIT in them. I wanted to buy this car, but I couldn';t fit in it.
I bought a 1984 silver anniversary mustang instead.
I want to see Scotty review one of those Miata's with a V8 stuffed under the hood.
I ruined my 94 MX5 by putting aftermarket parts on it, like Eibach coils, exhaust etc. Stock is the way to go.
Coming from a mazdaspeed 3 owner these cars are very rare and command a good deal of $. I believe that they only made 30k or something. Ok according to my research less than 10k were made😮
I noticed the HONDA ADV Pretty cool ride Make a review, there's not many from a US perspective...They were made for the Thailand market but cool HONDA is bring it to the US.
Nice looking sport car
Miatas are fun but I don't fit, I've always looked over the TOP of the windshield.
I'm sorry Scotty, you know a 95 MR2 is a better car because it's a Toyota (and takes a V6 swap).
Stop buying New Toyota and start buying 94 Celica's.😮😂
i like the white clusters my subaru has that with the chrome ring
My ex had an early Miata. It was a fun car to drive if you liked an Austin Healey Sprite with oversteer.
Most sports car drivers do like over steer
I get what you're saying, but because I own a couple of Toyotas, I'm pretty much off the market for the duration.
Looks like it would be fun to drive.
Getting in and out of that go cart, not so much.
The car with a manual transmission, is always great with any age and miles.
I loved my '99 MX-5, but at 5'11'' it was a half inch too small for me. Maybe I'd fit better in the later model versions.
Must be fun trying to hold the camera, drive and change gears at the same time
The answer is always Miata
I think in New Zealand some came out with rotary motors in them. Not sure on that. There was a hard top that were rotary.
It really is a gorgeous car. Are any of the newer Mazda's with some height (not sedans or roadsters) good in mostly city driving/not freeways (in relation to the carbon build-up issue?). Thank you! There's a 2006 Mazda Miata (6 cylinder, auto) for sale in my area. I just love that model, but remember what you said about the auto transmission not being good. Probably not the most practical in a huge city with a lot of crazy drivers.
Amazing, Mazda is a way better brand than Kia / Hyundai yet never sold the quantity Kia /Hyundai sells ?
I have never understand that fact. Their cars are beautiful, fun to drive, reliable, good price for the dollar, but Mazda never had a good amount of money for publicity.
They messed up by discontinuing the Mazda 6
When was the last time you saw a Mazda commercial for one of their vehicles. Always under the radar - Zoom Zoom ! 😎
I have always liked the way Mazda s feel , even the sedans have sort of sport feel a certain something. Hyundai Kia just seemed a little like a line of cars Kmart might have sold.
ComeOnMan......I just bought at 2024 nd Miata, soft top, crystal red and automatic. Unfortunately, my left knee is worn out. Or I would have bought a manual. It's still alot of reliable fun.
There is one problem. It is very hard to find a used one. Many used cars have many problems.
My 2011 Nissan Teana is some kind of old vehicle. Scotty, please tell everyone what a great car it is. I need this.
If you are over 5'10' the top of the windshield is below your eyes and you can't see what's in front of you. So it's a superlative car for middle school drivers.
Sorry, hard to believe that the car was purchased for $14K with less than 46K miles?? Not in my lifetime and not in Austin,TX.
love my '99 NB, and cant wait to get a 35th Anniversary MazdaSpeed edition that is rumored to come out.
I've heard about it if its as rare as the 30th Anniversary Edition in that Orange color or any bright color it should be spectacular ! Some nice touches were added like Ray's wheels / Recarro seats & individual number plaques to each one.
Gorgeous Mazda !!!
I've owned 2 Mazdas very reliable
Kids, get in the house! Scotty is test driving again.
It doesn't burn oil because it has low mileage.
I thought Scotty said small engines and turbos don’t mix
My mechanic told me 'buy a Toyota, Honda or Nissan and I'll never see you again!' I'm sticking with my mechanic
No test drive is complete with Scotty, unless he beats the car
Traded in my old '19 mustang eco for '21 soul red Miata. No regrets, pure fun 😊
Some vehicles you can buy a bypass pulley for and just remove the ac compressor. I did it on a 92 Voyager
Rust problems here in UK, great car otherwise.
How can it be allowed to rave the open top cars ? If they capsize you're dead..
So, it spent half of its life sitting in a garage. How do know if it’s dependable?
Good morning, thank you for sharing your knowledge in cars, learning a lot from you, Q. $7K it’s good price for a 2007 Toyota Highlander with 150K miles?
As a mechanic of over 40 years, I won't even let a British car in my garage. Total junk.
Hi Scotty,
I love your videos and appreciate all the valuable information you share! I'm currently looking for an affordable vehicle with some nice features, like heated seats, Bluetooth, and other bells and whistles. I've looked into the Honda Fit and Acura ILX, but I wanted to know if you had any other suggestions. I'm looking for something I can drive for a long time and truly enjoy the drive.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Yeah it's s hairdressers car! Hmmmm I'm looking for a new business 🤔 But i think i need to fix the broken short nose crankshaft on my Blue '90 first 😂
Duuuude scotty shuush i was gatekeeping this 😐🤫
I think the gas cover is original.
I'm actually curious how people buy cars that are good deals like this. Do they just know a guy who's selling? Do they find it at a dealership? Facebook marketplace?
Classifieds. Gotta move quick. Scan every morning. Lock down a deal before others get home from work.
Mx5 ain’t based on an MG it’s based on a Lotus Elan.
