Third way to open trunk….a button under the rear badge. Also, the car will audibly warn you if your speeding and if there is a red light camera ahead. Love you video! I win a ‘17 LAUNCH EDITION
Amazing automobile! I owned a 94 Miata and 94 rx7. I built a race rotary "2 rotor" which at the time regretted not doing 3 rotors! But boy was my stock Miata fun. Imagine a rotary in it🤓, but if you ask me I rather stick with stock unless you want to... which again I wouldn't recommend! Have fun. Maybe 5 legal pounds of boost would be ok but I would rather wait a year or couple for prices to depreciate. Personal opinion best/funnest car to buy
Gorgeous car I'm obsessed with, and you missed: * storage behind seats * size of trunk in liters - unless someone really understands cubic feet? * trunk button outside * stupidity of cup holder placement * stupidity of the input dial position especially if you're shifting * android Auto / Apple CarPlay is coming next model year * pillars cause real blind spots * tire options and better choice than stock tires - I worry about those things on rough roads Thanks.
Also…..storage compartment behind passenger seat, lighter port under dash on the passenger side. Foot rest on left side, near the clutch. Under knee adjustment, drivers’ side. Portable air pump included in trunk. No spare tire.
From a mazda3 owner, Mazda's fuel economy monitor is ridiculously inaccurate lol! But they make great cars and good fuel economy overall so I'm not complaining :)
Yeah because I do a lot of city driving (in traffic) in a major metropolitan area, my average is barely 23.5mpg unfortunately. But honestly it's still not bad for a quick sports car like this.
Hey I had a 2017 FIAT Abarth and I have also owned an NC Miata.. they Abarth had a lot going for it but it did not rotate as much as my 2012 NC and the turbo engine has a lot of lag and is not as direct. These two issues caused me to trade in the Abarth as my old Miata was funner. The ND is better than the NC so.. I would suggest you get the NC. I plan to get an RF and trade in my 2016 Camaro SS.. I miss the "fun" car.

too bad the interior kinda sucks..I mean they don't even give u a option for a back up camera or other cool tech features. I mean it's a small car but it's nice to have especially with that shitty rear window
I've been getting 40+mpg with my 2017 RF GT. I put over 1k miles and filled up maybe 5 times. Absolutely love my mx5.
Great video Dave as usual. Got to admit - I love this car to death. The styling upgrade with that roof is considerable IMO
I can tell you had fun reviewing this car. I miss mine, just might have to get into a new one.
Love your videos Dave. Austrralians love Mazdas. Thanks for this video.

Thanks Dave! This was extremely helpful as I just ordered one this morning!
Glad it was helpful!
@@everymandriver most definitely! When I get it hooked up I’ll post a video for you. Thanks again my friend 💯
There is a trunk release button near the number plate.
yes also on the key fob

Machine Grey is the best choice, congrats enjoy!

A proper review should include an actual MPG calculation and don't quote the computer reading which could be rigged.

It is very light and it's got a small engine, I could see someone drive the crap out of it and not get the best mileage possible
I'm planning to get the Mazda 3 2017 GT. what is the MPG that you get? I heard is really bad compare to competitor... I really love the way it drives.
Great job Dave!
You seem to fit in it very well, how tall are you?
Nice video man
Can you do a review on the FIAT 124 Abarth? I am on the fence between these two. Thanks.

cool thing.how ever a great video from you.
By the way my local dealer says this thing goes out the door for more than 40000 dollars. Ouch, that hearts.
great video
Isn't there also a trunk release above the number plate under the bumper cutout too?
yes
Nice review. Is MX5 RF ok for tall driver? I tall 186cm.
Nice video but manual soft top takes less than 5 seconds, and that’s taking your time! ;)

Those calves though.
Exactly!!
Dude's calves are bigger than my thighs.
surprised you fit in a miata
is it possible to review a nissan 370z Nismo?
It had the first one in Spokane in 1990
250 miles ! somebody was having a lot of fun:)
But I can't fit into the rf now
Doesn't anybody know how to figure gas mileage any more?
wish I fit in the car I'm 6'2 and didn't fit in the 2016
sad....head room is even smaller in rf, just did a test-drive today...
Depends on legs to body ratio, I'm 6'2" as well and I fit perfectly with heaps of room left 😁
RF...roof folds.
the instrument clusters look like a Benz. the exterior looks very sporty too.
looks like a Nissan 350Z on diet. ha ha ha
Its good looking dude problems man.
Such a sexy car love it
anyone watches cyclecruza? lol
Riding With Jahv I do.
too bad the interior kinda sucks..I mean they don't even give u a option for a back up camera or other cool tech features. I mean it's a small car but it's nice to have especially with that shitty rear window
Yeah I installed a back-up camera on mine. Rear visibility is somewhat difficult even with the top down
I also install one on my mx5. You can pick one up on e-bay for about $150 and it took about an hour and a half to install.
