Thanks Richard. After not taking good care of my 2001 accord for years (and it continuing to run well in spite of me), I'm going to try to turn a new leaf with my next car. I think this video is really going to help me with that, to have the right attitude and plan going forward.
Very good review. Realistic and factual. I have been looking for a sports car that is comfortable but also not focused on the engine power, I want to be able to go on track with it, but also grocery shopping. But I see its a little small, and has small trunk. Do you have any recommendations for a car thats similar, has great value (I do not need big engine) that is perhaps a coupe or tiny bigger than this?
Driven all manor of vehicles on the roads of the UK and only Motorways and a few country lanes in Europe But eventually my partner and i will move to Poland to settle down and i must admit i am a little uneasy about Navigating busy built up areas and this vlog went some way to easing my concern . Really well put together thank you Richard.
Great video! Im planning on doing my first track day shortly, I have a question about what you do with your "extra stuff" (i was going to bring some food, spare oil, tyre pressure gauage + pump) whilst you're on track? (Assuming you drive there in the car you're taking on track) You don't want that stuff in your boot flying around, but im not sure what I'd do with it? Or do you just avoid bringing anything with you?
Awesome, I really would like to do something like this but can't really justify the cost/wear on my sole car right now Great driving and commentary, love your videos
They've really dialled in this MX-5. Can't wait to get one at some point. Great to see how much you can put it through and it just doesn't really care. Great video as always
😂 The hybrid system runs out of power if you floor it for too long, then it's just the engine which isn't very powerful. Did this going up the Alps in Austria.
The thing I like about your videos, is that they feel real. You go to the point and enjoy your car. I bought a 2024 ND2 myself, about to reach the 1000km of break-in. Apart from not driving it hard and not maintaining a constant speed for long periods of time as the manual recommends, did you do anything else in your break-in period? Greetings from Chile!
Always liked thruxton. It's my second closest track after castle coombe. Shame its not as well known internationally as other more nationally focused tracks like oulton park.
It’s raw, it’s noisy. It is what it is: A SPORTS CAR. A bit slow, but a true two seater sports car. Reminds me of the early 90s corvette I owned. Raw, untouched by new age comfort and electrical demands. If you’re thinking of getting one, do it. Most of these issues I’ve never experienced. Mazda dealerships will address your needs as far as repair, unlike most brands.
