Is it worth the extra cost for the 30th Anniversary?
@TheStraightPipes Did you happen to park outside a school when recording this?
Totally worth it for the racing orange!
Yes! We need more orange cars!
Yes its worth it. I have co driven in one once and it was fun. Best part you can still get it as a manual #savethemanuals and it has THE BEST convertible roof ever.
how much more is it actually after the options?
"If you get it in an automatic, you are actually getting a worse vehicle."
Bold move Mazda, bold move. #SavetheManuals
It's a good idea on their part too because it cuts cost and the people who care about those things are buying a manual anyways.
Most cars punish you for choosing manual, Mazda rewards you.
Look, I absolutely love manuals and I would drive any car rather with a manual than an automatic. But gimping the automatic version of a car is not a bold move, it's a dick move. Some people prefer automatics and some people simply can't drive manuals (because of disabilities or whatever) and those poor souls are now getting a worse car.
There's no reason to be petty, just because manuals are disappearing - because it is inevitable. Once the EV or hydrogen fuel cell becomes mainstream, manuals will be a thing of the past.
Herp McDerp Mazda’s own sales figures showed that the vast majority of Miata buyers bought the manual models. It’s one of those rare instances where putting R&D funds into a car’s automatic transmission may not be worth the effort.
Yes, the manual’s days are limited, but the Miata will be one of the last cars available with a manual given how strongly sales favor it for this particular car. I don’t blame Mazda at all for not giving two craps about the auto version. They make fine autos for the rest of their lineup. They just don’t care to invest extra money into the transmission few buy (for the Miata).
@@dsugioaga To be fair, we don't know why Mazda is not including certain features on the automatic versions. There may be reasons other than to punk those who need or prefer automatics. This is certainly true when it comes to manuals (if they're an option at all) only being offered on lower trim levels. Mazda is one of the few exceptions that allows Manuals on their higher trim level cars. The particular demographic we're defending here probably very low -- a person without the use of a hand and/or one or both of their legs, wanting this exact limited edition Miata. It's not like that couldn't purchase an auto with "all the things" likely for less money.
Just got mine in orange 🍊
In Forza horizon 4 😎
These guys need to review a race sim :)
absolut mad man
Ngl had us in the first half.
Supergt from forza also races karts and is really good at both
Mr. 2cents. Just get Need for speed Heat its so much fun. I have a suped up ND Miata and I love it
I originally had a long paragraph typed out talking about my 2016 MX-5 and I was ready to push the comment button and deleted it. Just watch the review, drive one, and see how happy you are after driving it. It's the best car I've owned!
harrismi7 I was going to get one but it’s just not a practical car lol I would’ve regretted it like a month later. I ended up getting the 2019 Mazda3
What other cars does it beat that you've owned?
@@Sickwitit18 the cars I've owned over the past 10-12 years were a 2015 Volvo V60, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, 2011 Dodge Charger, and 2007 Dodge Ram 4x4. Right now my MX5 shares space with a 1999 Porsche 911 I bought in July. I could not be happier with the 2 cars I have. It makes it hard to pick one when I need to go somewhere.
@@harrismi7 that's a great problem to have
@@harrismi7 so you had had no fun cars before the Miata, and it's the best, so surprising.
I was a Miata hater until I drove one back in 2016...rest is history, I owned a 2016 soul red, switched to 30AE in July and still have my 1997 NA.
same here
I also own a 97 NA Miata brought march 2019
Man I remember being a naive kid and swearing I'd never drive a "girly" Miata. Now, it's on my "realistic" wish list lol.
Same here bro. Not even embarrassed about it.
Bought one as my first car at 19.. knew I’d get some shit for it but I absolutely loved my Miata. It’s a car that you can mob at 80% of the chassis’ capability on your way to work and back haha. I’d constantly take the back way home just for the 5 or 6 fun corners. I did have an exhaust and coil overs on mine though
I dont get whats girly about it, i think it looks amazing!
Pissing off people who say this or yell "haha gayboy" about them is legit one of the best parts of owning one. I had an NB8B for two years and miss it terribly.
SUVs are the only girly cars
Love the orange Mazda and orange maple leaves. Perfect match!!
No nut November is getting difficult watching your videos
So true
when did no shave november turn into no nut? Is this metoo incel movement?
@@aceofspades6667 Hello there brethren, I think it started 2yrs ago alongside No Shave November. I'm doing it and after just 5 days I already built a village and am able to communicate with ants which now do as I say. Switched their hierchy from a matriarchy to a patriarchy, me being their Patriarch. Currently working on fixing world hunger so if after November you or anyone else still gets hungry you'll know I've failed. No worries though, there's always next year
Is Jakub or Yuri doing it for you because it's definitely not the cars.
@@aceofspades6667 ok boomer
Thanks for the shout out! Keep making great content and we'll keep the G|Drives coming!
Love the MX5 ! Just bought one ! I never even test drove it , only sat in it . I'm very confident with my purchase. Thank you Mazda for making this fantastic car/work of art !
I love how you talk about this car, you go through all the details, love it!
There's never such a thing as too many Miata reviews - keep up the good work guys!! :)
I recently bought a NB Miata and it is the best friking thing ever!!
Confession time: Last year I went to the Mazda dealer I had already bought 2 Mazdas from and told them I was really interested in an MX-5 (I wasn't). I ended up getting a 2 hour test drive, alone. I picked up my dad and we went to drive to the mountains for as long as we could before taking it back. Best way to spend a Saturday morning.
I don't think it's worth $10.000 more than a regular Miata, no chance.
monoespacial how did you time so much in 5 seconds
@@narayanmatharu7239 I have a prototype mind-computer interface implanted in my brain which allows me to relay my thoughts at an instant. Very useful, especially for ordering food.
Just kidding. Patreon subs get early access to the videos.
@@monoespacial lol
Lol did they give you crap about how long you were gone for? Also what did you tell them after? 🤣 "Yeah after 2hrs of fun and thrills it's just not the car for me."
How did you type this comment a week ago but this video came out 2 hours ago?
I have watched your Mx-5 Videos so often already....and I am still coming back. I really love your focus on driving in your Vidoes.
Yours really is the best way to do a car review!
good to see you guys having so much fun!😎
My favorite car reviewers and your videos keep getting better!
You guys are killing it (video footage) for the fall season!
You guys are the best. Running over a hard drive while transferring files with the car you are reviewing. The best.
Really great review on the MX-5. I have an MX-5 RF and I'm really happy with it. I bought my first MX-5 in 1993 new and had it for 4 years before trading it on a BMW 3 series. I wanted another MX-5 ever since. I bought the current car in July 2019.
Because of how you guys talk about this line of cars I recently bought a MX-5 NC, and I love it!
It had 70.000 kilometers on it and I paid 9000 Euro's fot it. That's about 6.170 dollars (CANADIAN) Worth every penny! Thank your
@@HotCacahuete HA! So I did
I love to watch the seasons pass in your reviews. Discovered the channel last winter and here we are again. Always honest and entertaining. Thanks guys. Bought a Hyundai Palisade thanks to your reviews of it and the Telluride. Immediately drove it from Saskatchewan to Texas and love it to death. Stay warm eh?
Calgary Alberta here, i picked up my attainable dream car this spring.
1st gen ND soft club, it is well worth the money, and i would watch you 2 no Matter what.
Keep up the grate vibes.
I own a '17 mx5 rf and I love it to death. No other car has given me so many smiles every time I drive it.
What are these other cars you're talking about?
I just drove one over the weekend. At night, top down in perfect Florida weather in Sarasota. Trying to speed corners and roundabouts is the most fun I've ever had while driving. Will never forget that first Miata experience!
My '14 PRHT Club was close to this price and it's my favorite car ever - especially with an exhaust and coilovers. Time to make the switch Yuri!
Had a 1990 Miata for years. Most fun you can have on four wheels, especially if you join a Miata club. Here in San Diego, you can go on a Miata run almost any weekend. You can buy a low mileage used Miata for a good price and have so much fun. Not a great primary vehicle for most people, but a wonderful second or third car.
#NotificationSquad 🤘🏼 love the channel guys you do great work, production quality is remarkable.
I have a 2010 Miata, and love it. I’m 6’1” tall, and it has plenty of room. It’s an automatic, but manual clutches have been on their way out for a while. It doesn’t have torque lag, and my wife can drive it without smoking a clutch. I’ve been in the 30th Anniversary Miata, and have two complaints: the Recaro seats do not allow you to slide into the car, and the Homelink mirror plate is HUGE. I could live with the Recaro seats, but that mirror belongs on a bus. Thanks for sharing! 👍
Love the "Hide ya kids Hide ya wives" reference lol. I was that guy for Halloween back in college. Slayed it and everyone loved it
I have owned 8 Miata’s over the years. Currently own a 2017 Club Ricaro, BBS, Brembo. Love! I love Mazda so much that I sold my BMW X5 and bought a CX9 Signature.
8:37: NO TOP UP SUBSCRIPTION BREAK??
my brain: *you're already subscribed calm down*
Dylan K lmao ❤️❤️
Ahhh yes, my bi-weekly "The Straightpipes" fix.
You guys rock!
Have owned ~30 cars including Porsche, Lotus, Golf R32, Golf R, etc. Bought a nicely set up 2001 NB Miata three years ago and will never sell it. That's the best compliment I can give!
What's your favorite car you've ever owned? Maybe the top 3?
What Porsche? What lotus? What else?
How is NB relevant to ND2 review?
@@volodymyrshoniia2424 relevant as the point of the video is how good the Miata is compared to other cars, which is true. You can wring it's neck and not break the law on public roads.
I had a 1987 Porsche 944 and a 1984 911 Carrera coupe. The Lotus was a 2006 Elise.
@@tmh44 so you had really old Porsches, great. And you're saying nb is better than the Elise? Or is it just because you can beat on it and not worry about anything? Elise doesn't seem to require going illegally fast when you want to have fun, although it isn't as slow as a Miata.
@@volodymyrshoniia2424 if it matters I've also driven the 996, 997, 991, Boxsters, Caymans, etc. extensively.
But yes, I find the Miata more fun overall in daily life. I'm less precious with it than those other cars, so I drive it harder, wash it less often, and don't freak if it gets a new stone chip. So speaking for myself I enjoy the NB more. Hope this answers your questions.
The filming though the fall leaves in the orange Miata is dope as hell.
I saw a Miata. So I got up at 5 AM to watch this.
I bought a 25th anniversary edition a few months ago and I love it, planning on some tasty mods soon but I can see myself in a ND RF someday defo. Great cars
Miata's are just so much fun no matter how you drive them. That orange color is sick! I like the color matched calipers as well.
I have a 25th edition NC in soul red and I love it for all the reasons you mentioned. Maintenance costs are also very low.
You guys nail why the Miata is so damn special. For yrs I blew it off now my 19yr old son has a 2001 Special edition, coil overs, 17"'s, skirts, roll bar and performance summers (looks like a baby last gen RX7). I now get the fuss. Its the car you drive and look around at every supposed sports or super car and snicker because yours if more fun, more connected and you bought it cause it actually makes driving fun again......
Love mine (2017) thanks for your great work!
Had a 2016 GT Black/Black Soft Top MT and loved the car, JUST traded it in for a 2019 GT Machine Grey/Cherry Top with Car Play and love it. Added a number of upgrades from MX-5 Thing as well as a Cobalt Exhaust System. It feels quite a bit different than the 2016 and with the upgrades that it comes with make it well worth it. Just love this car and loads of comments from everyone. The ND is the sharpest looking MX-5 hands down. If your on the fence about getting one, just do it. I'll be 70 next year and should have bought one of these years ago, ZOOM ZOOM, ,
how's the '19 feel different?
Miata always makes me happy because of their front end
You guys are just the best.
Great review
I owned a '94 Miata and enjoyed it quite a bit but with small children and other demands, it wasn't practical. It was well built and reliable. If I were to buy another one, it would be the retractable hardtop even though it's less sporty with that option. However, instead buying another Miata, I sorta went in another direction with a 911 manual.
I know, I could have bought multiple Miatas instead, but I didn't have the garage space. :-) Keep up the good work guys.
Color goes nice with the autumn scenery!
Me and my wife needed a second car and one of the ladies she works with her Dad had a 2006 MX5 with 40,000 miles for $4,000 in excellent condition. So I told her to go ahead and buy it. Did not know it was an automatic, but it's still a blast to drive. I'm going to get a 2019 in a couple of years now that I'm in love with the car.
Seeing this orange reminds me of my 03 mazdaspeed protege !
It's the perfect car for getting my Starbucks pumpkin spice latte!
@Conor not necessarily
It's a car for any enthusiast
Hilarious!
@@Saboda53 Yeah that must be it!
Dude your ignorance is only bested by your sexism xD
Cool video! I drive a 89 Miata myself and it's lovely
I love the Miata. Thank you for the test.
I went from a 2002 miata to a 2018 (i know, i know) miata and I think my favorite quality of life improvement on the new generation is the roof. it really is that easy. I look at convertibles with power roofs that are like "put the roof up or down in only 11 seconds!" - no thanks!
Kevvo Wobbo got a 93 with automatic, plan to get a 2016 with a manual as my second car when I upgrade. If I can I would get a club sport package. I can’t keep both as I only have space for 2 cars now.
Didn't realize Jakub beat Savage Geese at the Miata challenge. Hats off to you sir
Miata is always the answer! Keep the Miata videos coming!!!! Thank you!!!
Holy body roll! You can see the car leaning so hard when you take those turns! Looks like a lot of fun though.
I feel like Yuri is not gonna keep is Prowler for long
I’m keeping it forever.
TheStraightPipes what u mean by saying regret not getting a miata before? Is it choice a between the prowler?
Most people see you in a Miata and think, "that guy's a bitch". Most people see a prowler and don't even pay attention to the driver, just get confused and curious about wtf just drove by. I'd rather take the non-bitch option
No one thinks that Miata drivers are "a bitch".
Or is this an american thing?
@@raupenimmersatt6906 American. Where big bodies and large loud engines trump actual performance. Not saying it's what I think, but small zippy cars get a much better response in other countries than they do in America
Damn those shots of the miata driving behind the camera are beautiful with the leaves wooshing by the miata
This the earliest I've been to a video
@10:14 yes there is a Miata competitor, Abarth 124. Actually they are cousins, and great, and cool like you guys!
I got a 2016 MX5 2.0 and I love it! If you are tempted in buying it, just do it!!!
I just test drove one yesterday and all the hype is real. Great to drive a manual again.
I want that Miata livin' more and more after losing my del sol recently.
Love the reviews. Any chance for a 2020 Miata review?
That low key flex of your Zenbook pro duo though LOL
Are you guys ever gonna be shooting in Nova Scotia? I would really love to see you guys. You’re the best!
the orange color looks really good with all the fall colors.
I'm actually seriously considering buying a 2020 miata, I miss my 2016 launch edition so much... and now I have another daily driver (Golf R) I can get the miata as a fun summer/weekend car again.
You are absolutely right, Mx5 does compete with more premium fun cars. I'm torn apart between m240i and Miata as my next daily fun car.
To be fair my foot would likely still work being crushed by a miata.
Thanks for the acknowledgement about reasons for auto. As one who has a recent jacked up clutch leg, go auto!
❤️❤️❤️
Ouch. Glad it's not your accelerator/brake leg. Feel better...
+1 for Yuri wintering his prowler. It could be like a top gear special!
Miatas ARE the best :) I love my Mazdaspeed ! The ND is amazing tho
You can temporarily disable hill assist by pulling the handbrake. So actually if you still want to do traditional hill starts with a handbrake - you can
I’m really excited for when the new MX-5 comes out with Mazda’s new design language !
Konstantinos yea I wouldn’t touch a Mazda until all their vehicles get the Mazda3/CX-30 design. Their old display and knob controls looks so ancient compared to the widescreen one in the new Mazda3
Gewdvibes wrong
@@gewdvibes But why would u click 20 times on a screen if a simple push of a button does the job the same or better?
Still waiting on your personal GTI review. Us VW guys are waiting patiently. Hello from Seattle.
Hell yeah. My affordable dream car. I really love that orange too. Usually not a fan, but Mazda has some great colors.
Re: wintering the Prowler:
Dreamcar Exception. Plus IIRC an Element is perfect for winter cause you can rinse out the muck that sticks to your shoes.
Love my MK2 mx5 (to use brits). The Nissan Juke has Bose speakers in the headrests as my wife will testify too. 👍🏻👍🏻
Fun facts: Derek from Milton Mazda took me on a test drive, and told me the reason the paint is orange and not yellow like the NA is that it was SUPPOSED to be orange on the NA and they had issues with it, hence the yellow!
Colour and front fascia are perfect to bring out on Halloween
OMGAWWWWWWD!!! I don't know if I should cry or jump with joy! Happy that it exists sad that I can't get one. I love the color I hope that in time Mazda brings that color for us plebs.
OMG Thanks for correcting the proper way to pronounce Toronto. Just had a conversation about that at the office. Timely.
I haven't driven a Miata nor do I know how to drive a manual but I love it.
For the record these guys are the best product advertisers ever...I mean all this sponsors better pay nice to STR8pipes...
Awesome channel. I tried to sub twice.
You forgot that 30th aniversary edition has alcantara interior ! Anyway great review guys =)
Do you guys know if the miata will get the new skyactive-X engine at some point?
Miata is my daily drive and love every bit of it, even in the snow.
u plow the snow with ur miata? is it not too low? i was plowing even in my c250 benz back in 2014 during that snow storm in the east coast.
@@JamesColeman12 It does sometimes, but I never got stuck once. The underside of the front bumper got scratch a bit by ice after a couple days of freezing rain.
@@SleepyZippy yeah it scraped my bumper too. but when you dont have other options atleast u not stranded lol.
As a Canadian, I can attest that an MX-5 with four serious snow tires (mounted on cheap steel wheels) is nearly unstoppable in the snow. The car is so light, it floats above the slushy mess heavier cars get stuck in. And with serious snow tires, handling on snow-covered roads is unbelievable. A few winters ago in Calgary in my NA I was running circles around Jeeps and SUVs on snowy highways -- they were barely in control of their behemoths.
Wow! That orange color ROCKS!!!
Really enjoying my #1545 soft top manual.
You guys are my favorite car review channel. I just discovered the channel.
So they are your favorite even though you just discovered the channel? Makes sense.
Volodymyr Shoniia Yes, the have instantly become my favorite. Already watched 15 videos
@@coooooool12342 who did they replace and top off? Maybe there are more channels for you to discover!
Volodymyr Shoniia You have the usual suspects. I love their humor and approach to the reviews. I end up laughing quite a bit
I like everything except the row of led lights under the headlights. Miatas are such fun cars to drive but at that price point,they’re are a lot more choices I’d go with.
There is one softtop 30th still available here in Sweden which I am lurking on...
The Miata/MX-5 is so good, it is difficult to explain to people that have not driven what it is like
Mazman There are a few unsold 30AE in the states too
@@captainvector really one would think all would be sold in the US. We only get 45 of them here including the RFs.
I am very much into buying an MX-5. But I would like to put on coilovers and other bits and pieces. The 30th is a bit of overkill for that type of exercise...
I am coming from a 2018 Mustang GT, traded it in for a 330e, need to have one fun car in the stable :D
You see the genuine smile on all the people that is reviewing a MX5.
I think a lot of people seem to forget the NA also had speakers in the seats.
Anytime you'll get your hands on a vette c8?
Probably closer to the release date
Love the orange and seat piping too.
Yuri at 10:11: "no other car company has a Miata, or a Miata competitor"
Fiat 124 Spider: "Am I a joke to you?"
Fiat 124: a Miata under the skin and built on the SAME assembly line. ICYDK
@TED Schmitt so another company _does_ have a Miata - literally
Except the weaker fiat has it's less-than-reliable fiat engine. Everything else on it is Mazda made.
@@HotCacahuete The price didnt help but there are already reports of catastrophic engine failure on multiple accounts from stock (non modded) engines.
Super video guys ! This has to be my favorite miata of all.
What about the comparison video of mx5 with and without LSD to see how it affect the driving experience? Are you still planning to do it?
Had an NC without lsd. Was bad in rain. We had a slick section of asphalt by our home at a light and I always slid with one wheel. With the lsd you'll go forward regardless of wheelspin.
