2017 Miata ND vs 1991 NA Interior Comparision
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- In this video Masha and I compare MX-5s, the 2017 Mazda Miata Grand Touring Edition to my 1991 NA Miata.
There are several major differences when it comes to the trunk and interior. Not just engines and tech, but practicality as well. The ND has wonderful cupholders! But not the best placement for a 12V plug if you want to run a radar.
The NA Miata has no cupholders, but an actual glovebox and slower to open, two latch system for the soft top convertible.
I love the ruggedness and simple design of old NA.
BRUCE JEANDUC ikr, new cars are cool, but there's just so much going on, the older cars were great, just a simple design, now everything is about being futuristic...that and the na has pop ups
Hahaha judging by the amount of irritating rattles I have in my car while driving I wouldn't call the NA super rugged! However I do get your point, it has proven to be super reliable and cheap to fix/run in general. It's lacking all the new car technology, therefore you don't really have any super expensive systems to replace. It's probably the simplest car you could get without going back as far as carburetion or getting an older diesel.
Things I love about the NA is that it's just you and the car. No lane departure assist, no traction control, no sensors or back up cameras. It's really up to the driver and it keeps me on my toes while driving. If everybody drove cars this simple, there would most definitely be less texting and driving incidents, because people would actually have to pay attention to what they're doing on the road. (Manual transmissions play a big part I'd say)
2:03 i'm the only one that didn't get the cut and scream "the key! THE KEEEEY" when she shut down the trunk (on the suppose key?)
I added a bicycle type bottle holder to my NA. It's located on the transmission tunnel under the knee on the driver's side. There's a void there that is convenient for this use and does not interfere with accelerator leg at all. Set it at an angle that allows easy access. Fits a slender thermos and individual size drink bottles but not mugs or fast food cups, etc. Tools: drill, bit, sheetmetal self-tapping screws (or whatever) driver. Some holders are adjustable.
Good idea...i'll do that. just bought a 93 last month....kinda crowded inside but use to my daily driver....civic...it .seems huge after getting out of the miata..lol
NA: Pop up headlights *+100 points*
There are a couple of hidden storage compartments behind the seats in the ND. Your friend got you a new subscriber!
+Anh Nguyen oh you’re right! I forgot to mention that secondary glovebox. Thanks Anh!
I’ve never understood the soft top race idea, it takes 1 second long to latch an NA, hardly a deal breaker
I've never hit my arm/elbow on those buttons when shifting gears in the ND, or even thought about it as being a potential issue.
I also have an ND and an NA (two NAs actually) and I'll say that most of what you talked about I agree with. Except hitting the controls with my arm when shifting. A few people have complained about this, but it's never been a problem for me. I have to TRY to push my arm down to hit it.
Maybe I'll have to make a similar video now that I've had both for over a year. Pretty good editing too. Good job.
Thank you very much! If you do make a video, please comment the link so I can check it out :)
Should I Get It what wheels do you have on?
They are TRMotorsport C1 rims.
goodeggpro you notice her wrist is very very bent..
Yeah... after a little under 2 years and just above 25,000 miles with my ND, I have yet to hit that controller knob with my arm by accident. Once or twice I've hit the volume knob by mistake and muted the infotainment and I will say that the overall placement of the controls isn't 100% perfect. But nothing you can't get used to IMO.
Absence of a "true" glovebox and lack of a telescoping steering wheel would be my biggest complaints. That said: Where I live we don't get the CD-player so our central storage box is quite a bit deeper.
I’ve Miata NA and I used velcro on my iPad and dash as it sits above radio. Looks nice. I’ve a iPad 2.
I've isn't supposed to be used like that but good try. Do you also say "you're" when you say "I'm not doing that, you are"?
on the NA they make a cup holder option for that section behind the shifter where you normally have that little ash tray/slide open box
I like the junk in marshes trunk
The NA does have a trunk release inside the center console.
Not on the 91. Believe me I know, my 95 had a trunk release in the center console. 91s do not.
I was expecting this to be bad... and after the top "race" was sure of it... ultimately glad i watched to the end. I appreciate you didnt waste any time speculating and just gave your personal experiences. Nice video!!
Thank you very much for sticking with it and for the nice comment! Glad you enjoyed the content of the video :)
Wow quick response. I just want to touch that while the top race reinforced my original idea that this was going to be a bad video i dont mean to say it was a bad segment. Obviously its not a scientific test and is for funsies. So dont think i was hating on it please.
UA-cam is full of cheap videos to grab viewers so expectations were just low from the get go. This was charming. Especially your nd "wink"
Im not a miata enthusiast just considering one for a toy as injury has me worried my motorcycle days are over.
Is your girls a 2017 model? The only thing that i didnt like was thr limitrd slip model while in my browsing it looks like she has the GT but the club trin does have a limited slip so theres a potential slip(wasnt intended but keeping it after realization) for misinformation.
Point being mostly to reiterate a fun video with good length. I certainly appreciated it and wish you all the luck groeing your channel!
No worries at all! Didn't think you were hating on it at all :)
I would highly recommend a Miata as a fun weekend toy. It's the most fun you can have on 4 wheels without paying an arm and a leg.
The White ND is a 2017 model and is the GT trim, I would personally opt for the Club Edition as it has the LSD.
I have my review of that car here: ua-cam.com/video/GB9RAMkltD0/v-deo.html&t
and a review of an ND Miata with Club Package here: ua-cam.com/video/Grwlh2Q3EHY/v-deo.html&t
The 91 NA actually has a 7000rpm redline, if you notice that the marking is different between 6.5k and 7k, the owner's manual refers to it as the momentarily allowable zone, or something similar to that
Can I fit my driving gloves in the ND glovebox?
For sure, it's actually pretty deep.
you might have to push it down a bit. It can barely fit a 3 section wallet diagonally
She is the reason to watch this video! Hi Masha :), also the new M doesn't have a spare...
Moss Miata has cup holders for NAs, NBs, and NCs.
The wink! Epic👍👍 Lol, Viper stole the show rolling by. Ear candy?😁😁👍👍👍😎
Thanks!
im very late but the mx5 centre console with or without cupholders from I.L. motorsport is pretty good!
I kept cracking up at that "glove box" behind the seats because my 85 mr2 has had that for ages and I never use that space because it's behind you. I just left some stuff in there that I never touch unless I'm cleaning the car. I'm still trying to figure out what cover you have in the 91 trunk floor since my 91 doesn't have a cover and that center area is lower than yours. My spare tools and amp take that space so I always have a more limited trunk. As for the cup holder, I just added one to my 91 yesterday, so you can check out my video on that.
That's a neat cupholder, could you install it without drilling any new holes? Thanks for watching!
Thanks. You could use double sided tape, but even the stronger outside double sided tape comes off eventually and the heat would probably do that in one day and I would not trust it. I'm here in cali too. I drilled the holes into the little cover, so if you ever want to put it back, you just need to change the little cover, so it's not a huge deal there. Not to mention unless you want whatever you put in it on the floor, the screws or nuts and bolts are needed. It comes with four little screws but I only used two as you can see. So far this is the best way I can see using one in the miata. There's just no room for those as you already know. I usually just carry water with me too so this is perfect, I just used the soda to show that it can hold the weight. I need to install the second one in my mr2, but that car is down for now, so maybe I'll make a video if I ever get around to it. Anyway, I just didn't like any of the options so many have used and I figured I try this one.
WOW, didn't see any Miatas, but she sure is pretty.
she fat
Jon Santana are you gay???? Yucky bunnies...
In my NA miata i used to just jam the drink between the passenger seat back and centre console but you can get cupholders that go where the ashtray is off of ebay
+ss327chevy haha clever placement!
ss327chevy I bought 2 of the cup holders that u slip into the window track area. Works perfectly, at worse a Xtra large cup will rub on the wiper controls.
91 German spec. Miata has a trunk release beside the fuel door release in the store box . 2.0 ND has a lim slip diff here in Germany. Not Mazda`s fault when not ordered by the importers ...
Nice
I love my 2016 miata. It's a great south florida car. I don't think I could ever own a NA miata. They didn't start looking like a mans car until the NC. So far I've already purchased cusco suspension, Volk wheels, orange virus handheld tuner, fujimura exhaust, goodwin spacers. toyo tires, 3M clear bra, shorty antennae and I've had it since March ;)
+6000pounds daaaamn that’s a sweet mods list! Glad you’re enjoying it.
Would you recommend the Fujimura Exhaust?
Your loss. The NA is a great car
5:02 Your Miata DOES come with cup holders... You are missing it as I see from your video. It sits right between your armrest and shifter... Which makes it almost useless anyway as cups or bottles would get in the way of shifting. There are aftermarket holders however that would move it to the passenger footwell. Pound for pound, you can't find another car that's this fun and reliable.
You're right! I've seen those center console ones but they seem useless since it ruins the shifting experience.
On the ND there is a small button at the license plate. It opens the trunk.
You missed the two storage compartments behind the seats in the ND
You’re right. Totally blanked while filming this video. I think I mentioned them in my full review.
I have that new Miata, but that old one doesn't look that bad from the angle at 2:40
What color did you get your ND Miata in?
''Its not the speed its the duration'' :)
I like the old one.
a couple questions..
how'd you get it to wink like that? It's super cool!
And being 6'0 wouldn't make this am uncomfortable car to ride would it?
Great video, man!
The wink is super easy: ua-cam.com/video/kEkpQ0nUmY8/v-deo.html
You'll be fine, I have friends taller than you that love the car and are comfortable!
-Ben
You'll be fine in either side of the NA. You'll also be fine driving the ND. It's only being a passenger in the ND that would be an issue. They put a subwoofer in the passenger footwell which eats into the legroom considerably. I've heard that there's a mod to relocate it, but I haven't looked in to the details.
the trunk didn't close right because you left the keys on the drip rail
good point
After installing my $500 top, watching you put down the top makes me cringe...
Why's that? Mine gets "stuck" in the middle so I need to push down on the glass for it to fully drop. Scared me to death the first few times I did it
I unlatch the top, unzip the window, then put the top down. It took me 2 days to install the top. Labor of love, haha.
Gotcha, my previous Miata had a zipper window. This glass one doesn't unzip, just folds down. Top installs are tough! Thankfully I bought this Miata with the top done :)
hmm.. would be nice to have norml glovebox on passenger side.
Wow, seeing a lot of drooling pigs here.
Masha is cute, ok, but are you serious?
You're all acting like she's the LAST FEMALE ON EARTH.
God damn, pull yourselves together.
Vespertili Kildem Shut the fuck up , she is there and wearing that dress for the extra viewers I’m sure. Who would subscribe otherwise...
Fact: we weren’t even planning on shooting a video that day. Just came back from a drive and decided to film both cars
@@catjudo1 She's thicc
Anyone else see the 350Z in the background?
Where did you install the aftermarket seat heater switches in your NA?
Well done video. Thanks.
Thank you Larry! I actually don’t have the heat pads wired up but they’re already on the seat. I’d either place the switches in the center console by drilling a hole under the radio, or near the cruise control switch as there is a blank spot there or I could have the switches under each seat. Haven’t made my decision yet as I usually drive my Mini Cooper S when it’s colder.
@@shouldigetit, I am in the same place. When I had my seats reupholstered, I had heat pads installed, but have yet to wire them. I am very reluctant to cut anything in my car and would love to find some surface-mount switches I can stick onto the center console.
man the ND miata is so sexyy :( if i had the money i would buy it but now im bangin N/A busted and rusted
which one has more cabin room?
Hi, how do you install the steering wheel?, u use a adapter? , help me please, i have a miara n i like to install a steering wheel.
P.S. My english is so bad
Hi! Sorry I didn't do the installation and bought the car with that steering wheel so I don't know the process but search "Miata steering wheel install" and there should be some videos to help you.
Don't worry, your english is not too bad!
Ty
The ND trunk opening looks more narrow
Seeing this video just makes me appreciate my NB that much more. All the simplicity of the NA without the obnoxious interior of the ND. Of course it's basically an updated NA with different bodywork and an evolved interior, but it looks good and sounds good. BTW that NA sounds like ricer trash. That can't be the way you want it to sound...
Watch my video about the Borla on my NA. Installed it literally right after filming this.
@@shouldigetit That is a big improvement! Glad to see that the NA has gone from ricer to rocker! Borla makes good stuff, and this is further proof. If I have my NB long enough that will be something to consider. Personally I like quiet fast cars, as any slob can make a car loud. But something that is quiet and also sucks the doors off unsuspecting victims... that's just cool.
My problem with the NB is that it’s a little more cramped than other miatas. But that variable valve timing though 👌🏼
No pop up headlights makes it useless
would it be possible to put a ND interior inside of an NA? Really curious about this
I'm sure anything is possible if you have the budget for it! What would make you want to do that? I've thought about putting an ND engine an in NA.
No spare tire, I honestly don’t know what they are thinking, what if you go hiking and get stuck in the middle of the mountain
You call AAA or if you don't have service you ask other hikers to call for you when they get down to signal.
My GTI didn't have a spare tire, my Fiat 500 Abarth doesn't have a spare tire, McLaren's don't come with a spare tire. On and on and on. Spares are getting rarer.
Oh damn, the new Miata looks nice! I’m gonna go test drive it for fun now 😂 it needs a spoiler though.
You didn't note the difference in dimensions. I am a bit over 6' tall and do not fit in an NA: my eyes line up directly with the top bar. My ND fits perfectly. You also fail to mention all the modern conveniences of the ND, unless you had comparable aftermarket stuff in the NA. Pretty sure no bluetooth, heated seats, adaptive headlights, sat radio, nav, auto-dim mirror, rain-sensing wipers etc in the NA. Finally, Canadian market NDs get the limited slip diff in the top 2 trim levels. No idea why Mazda is hosing the US on this feature. My '16 ND is also Ceramic Metallic which is a super cool colour in person.
Thanks for noting all those things, wanted to compare more of the basics and keep the video relatively short.
Didn't know that about the Canadian spec cars, lucky! I'd definitely opt for a LSD ND. Hope you're enjoying it :)
Thanks for watching Neil!
Do you really need someone to tell you the NA doesn't have Bluetooth, heated seats, adaptive headlights, sat radio, nav, auto-dim mirror and rain sensing wipers? 😂😂😂
😂 you know the funniest part is I actually have Bluetooth AND heated seats in my NA :)
He's car has Bluetooth, said in the video swap in a Bluetooth head unit which most people do
I have the center council upgrade in my 90 NA, the extra space is awesome, no need for cupholders
Where did you get it from? :)
@@shouldigetit I forget, it was years ago. But a quick google search and you'll find them
Does the top seal from water and dust after so many years? sorry for my english
Yes still seals fine! My top is newer than the car though.
is that crystal white pearl?
It’s the Ceramic color option
do you get extra storage room after the head rest if you put the top up?
Yes in both versions!
Should I Get It Reviews that’s delightful to know
I knew she would slam the trunk on the keys...
lol
Damn that sucks! Cheap Sunglasses I hope
Can you reach the 12-volt plug from the driver seat?
You can NOT reach it with the seat belt on.
@@shouldigetit and if the car stands still? I want to put a garage opener in it
@@Mr_Dink You should be able to reach it then, or get an extender: amzn.to/3dDy6nW
@@shouldigetit Thanks ! :)
IL Motorsport have this cupholder:

No idea if it's any good though.
Jesus CHRIST who is this woman FINEEE
That’s Masha! Thanks for watching David
I bought a '12 because I don't like the big, non-retractable info screen. Yay Miata.
NiCe ;)
@@miata350 You know the base model ND1 in europe didn't have a touch screen? It had a little stereo unit with buttons in the screen's place.
i have the 314th out of 4000
Wow that is rad! How long have you had it?
about 3 weeks
i put an exhaust on, trust me no ricer stuff 🤣
For me there is no comparison, the original was a well-made and well crafted car which was so good it's production run lasted 9 years. The ND is fine of course but loses out in every department for me: Cost, complexity, build quality (they simply don't paint them underneath any more, where it matters), visceral feel, charm, depreciation. So no comparison to be made. I have a 1990 BRG as your car and it's quite wonderful in every way.
the mazda miata nd is a copy of the rossin-bertin vorax sport of Brazil 2010
I thought to myself that was the wrong place to leave the key there and she is going to slam the boot door down, and so she did :), ouch to the key.
Thankfully the key was fine, it's pretty resilient! Thank you for watching :)
She didn't close it on the key, you can see it at 2:05 then at 2:25 it's in her hand when she closed the trunk
You should do more video with your friend ;)
Thanks for watching Mathieu, I'll ask her
What mic setup do you have?
For just me talking at the intro and end, an AudioTechnica Lavalier mic plugged into a Zoom H1 that I keep in my pocket. For the rest of it, a Rode VideoMic Pro plugged straight into the camera and then adjusted in Audacity to remove some of the hiss.
sweet thanks man
Ha ha what a wink!
+gtb5 ;)
Upgrade to Clearwater headrest speakers in that NA! Thank me later
How is easy it to do so? Definitely
On my list!
Should I Get It Reviews since you already have the original headrest speakers, its super easy. Your seats have a zipper. All you have to do is unzip the zipper, disconnect the old speakers (2 clips in each one), and put in the new ones. Takes 5 minutes per side. Even if you had to rewire the speakers its no more than an hour all things considered. I highly recommend doing it!
Wow Ken that sounds totally doable! Thank you for sharing :)

2020 Toyota 86 review coming soon. Anything in particular you’d care to see there?
She closed her keys in the trunk
Nope :) no keys were closed in any trunks during the making of this video
Guy is cheating. You have to unzip the back window or you'll slowly destroy it.
I can’t unzip mine :) it’s a glass window!
@@shouldigetit my mistake. I considered that crap window the only flaw in that vehicle.

Tell Masha all the guys on youtube think she is sexy and has incredible legs....nice car too
Is your friend single?
Possibly
2 chicks and their "beloved" Miatas.
+Mike Barber lol thanks for watching Mike 😂
I actually have an NA and an ND. Seems like you're tryin' a little too hard to be masculine in the video. Also, NA cupholders work really well here:
