$40,000 Mazda MX-5 vs $5,000 MX-5 // 30th Anniversary Meets NA Miata 

It's a pretty common thing to say about the miata actually

@@francisj4058 Cars in general, really.

@@squidikka *Japanese cars

@@francisj4058 No. Cars in general*. Few makers are properly reliable anymore, with most of them being Japanese.

@@squidikka true

It's reminds me of Super Troopers 😁

@@soulsnatcher5408 YOU BOYS LIKE MEXICO!! Love it

I'M MIA.. I'M TIA. KACHOW!!

Christian Grey omg, mia+tia = miatia = miata. Mind is blown

@@MW2fabian better late than never.

La Das thanks 🙏🏼 I agree!!

Yeeeeeeeeep!

I like to give other inferior miata owners a hard time (I have the best gen, NB) but the fact of it is, even the ugly heavy NC is a great car.

Not a fan of them, at all. There's some twirled mustache hipster who drives one wearing a fedora who tried to race my Z06. It was a stanced NA but had nothing else done to it. Not sure what he thought would happen, but he could not keep up either in the corners or the straights. Funniest little clown I've ever seen. It's all well and good people like Miatas, but lol they're so slow and tiny. I had an old Buick that was faster than any Miata (yeah of course it wouldn't handle as good)...

Shinstu, Im sorry you bought a POS American car.

Yes!

Preach

Happy = Gay Indeed.

@@rodmunch69 glad you found a thesaurus in your middle school library

Can confirm

Makes you wonder what "homie" caught from his last "ho" LOL

He said Seaman Blue lmao

Portapottie blue.

@@Affalterbach1967 You mean portaloo? Sounds better and funnier an portapotty. Why do North Americans say "portapotty" when construction workers aren't babies?

@@automation7295 cuz we don’t say loo. And to be honest we call them portashitters

I liked the one about (paraphrased) "this is the only rear end play I'll get"

😂😂😂😂

I was expecting, "Engagement's off."

That totally made my day xD

It's a punch to English language.

I owned a '93 Rx7 a few years back. At one point, I was getting my engine rebuild and a friend let me borrow his '95? Miata while mine was in the shop. Despite having laughable power compared to my street-ported twin turbo, that Miata was a ton of fun to drive. It was nowhere near as fast as my Rx7, but I honestly think the Miata was more fun to drive in many ways.

As the owner of a BRG NA6, and a Montego Blue Mica NA8 - meh. Once I heard it called "Smurf Blue", and that stuck.

Isaw a red one .. damn too sexy

Jim Boulter. I've just installed my newly rebuilt engine on my blue 1991 Miata about 2 months ago & is now ready for the paint job. I already purchased a gray half gallon of paint to paint it myself but I am now seriously considering painting it in orange just like the new anniversary Miata. I'm actually surprised that the first generation NA Miatas didn't come in orange since it's such a roadster color.

It's probably the most rear play I'll get this year 7:05 Nice

Mazda does have a color currently that's similar to that, and probably inspired by the color on the NA. It's called Eternal Blue, I'd argue it's a similar shade, but now it's just metallic.

8==D

When the lights are turned on, the miatia looks like its blushing and surprised

Yes and yes and even yes and you bet it yes but even maybe even yes.

Is the M not for Mazda?

JotaroOceanMan am i the only one who doesnt like this car? sold it after 2 weeks - its so slooooooow man

@@szymondziedzia4468 its not suposed to be fast..

If your 'dad' drove a Miata, it's very unlikely he's your father since those people don't like women. You should ask your mom which one of your 'uncles' is really your father, and ask why she's been lying to you.

​@@rodmunch69 weird way to say you get no hoes

@@rodmunch69 Holy projection batman!

@@rodmunch69 🤫

Calm down thanos

I was looking for this comment 🤣🤣

I'll never get used to people calling it a Miata. Mine was a Japanese import, mx5 Eunos. Fully kitted out and beautiful.

or a condom? and enjoy.

@@JohnnyZenith MX5 Eunos? Come on man, it's the Eunos Roadster, Eunos is the brand

JohnnyZenith I know them only as Miatas. MX-5 throws me off. Hahaha.

Tell me about it. I’m 5’10 185lb, and my NB has a fixed racing seat. There is no graceful way to get in and out lol

Crazy Right?!!!! as if something does not seem to fit, but it does :)

I love miata but WRX more

Hi, I know its been 8 months since you wrote this comment, but i really expect your reply. I currently own a 2006 wrx, but i dont use it as much (I dont daily drive) so its just sitting there. Im thinking of getting an NA miata, and actually work on it, not mod it, but keep it running, and drive it around for fun or for meets. Do yo think the WRX-Miata swap is a good choice ?

I've seen one ej20 swap miata on YT & l dont know how much work it took to swap it? . It'd go K20/24 miata . still a awd miata sure sounds sweet 😎

@@mannybananas1322 Woow, that was a fast reply. Thanks for the insight, even though i think you didnt got me right (knowing english as second language sometimes is really tough when it comes to technical terms). What i really meant was not an engine swap (my bad), but to sell the WRX and buy a NA Miata and keeping it stock (with the 1.6 or 1.8 engine) as i guess you did but instead with an NB. Sorry for the confusion.

Which bath house do you all meet up at?

a313j hahahaha true ..... she don't let me near that thing

that line was pure gold!

"i have this amazing short shifter to play with..."

"... *Jennifer* "

That's what she said!

and the 80s styling advertisement

Same

What did you end up getting?

​@@betrion7Geo Metro

I literally read that as he was saying that like I also did that with someone else comment, what is my timing

I hope he got his rear played this yeR

Monkeypox is a huge issue in the Miata driving community.

I'll take a $2500 Miata with $25k of mods :D

I got mine for 500 and put 500 of upgrades in my buddy got a 1200 one and hes at 9k of upgrades 🤣🤣🤣

@@garageworm17 mate that's barely enough for a decent set of coils smh

@@fakename287 I'm in to scca racing and my class doesn't allow me to run coils I have lower springs and the right 1in lowered shocks for my car and paid 280

My buddy got a 1200 91 miata and put 9k in to it 🤣🤣🤣

Lol , buy an na, you’ll never stop smiling

Let me guess, you used to be a man, but now tell everyone you're a woman.

I loved my Mazda 6 1.8 TS 2012 until the electric steering rack failed, £1,500 to have repaired!!

Promethevs please don’t sell your 540i. Especially if it is an m sport. If you do please make sure it goes to a buyer who won’t trash it. They’re becoming harder and harder to find in good shape

@@codymachado I'm mostly joking haha. It is an m-sport with the 6 speed manual. I've been pretty happy with it so far, although the PO didn't take that good care of it.

I’m going to sell my BMW to buy a Miata said, nobody, until now

@@wrzl1675 I've been in a lot of cars, this being my 5th bmw. I tend to get bored easy, but I always find my way back into either that or a miata haha.

keep the beamer

Mine was too. Woukd have been worth more now. Damn.

Lots of trips to interstate rest stops I'm guessing.

The new miata looks happy and the old miata looks like it was just violated lol

That's so wholesomee

He also, "has this short shifter to play with." I wonder if that text from "Jennifer" was fake hahaha

Why are you drinking Diet Coke what a loser

Diet soda is worse for u than regular soda lmao just drink water fatty

@@Realizinq Was that necessary?

😂

What happened to her?

@@btmeant578 She wasn't in the best shape when i got her but i drove her for years. I didn't have the money to deal with the issues she had like: bad soft top in a state that rains a bunch, no ac so i had to drive with the windows down in the rain so my windows wouldn't fog( got splashed by 2 different cars the same day once on what was only a 7 minute drive home from work. ), randomly wouldn't start sometimes, headlights wouldn't go up and down and eventually went haywire( had to unplug the motors in the up position), the list goes on... but when she wouldn't start one day, I was kind of over the pit falls knowing i was too broke at the time to fix them any time soon so i honestly didn't put in the effort i should have to find the problem and sold her for practically nothing. turns out it was just the battery.... he literally bought one the same day and drove her home. I would have kept her if i had done a little more research to learn that a battery could still be the issue even if the car wouldn't start with a jump but i wrote it off as not a battery issue. anyway, i never reported that i sold the car and we got a towing notice in the mail about a year later. looks like she just completely broke down and the dude that bought her just abandoned her somewhere.

雪子 or 幸子 ？

Miata over the woman any day 🤣🤣🤣

True.

lol, lets not get carried away now lad

old top gear 😫

1.6 car or 1.8 car

2005 Mazdaspeed MX-5 turbo, at 1/3 the price.

Mod an NB for 30k and die in a few days with 400hp. Best death ever

To be fair they are almost the same price where i live.. 6k for a totaled miata lol

That's the anniversary edition. A new ND Miata starts at 27K

Nice

Arman Maaba How far do you drive it? Do you ask the owner for permission to drive his car?

@@davidmurray1361 I do some test drive after the service or repair. It's actually an after repair QC test drive

100% true, I used to drive a nissan 300zx, went for a test drive in the new miata since they upped the power and I was BLOWNNN AWAY. Sweet talked the dealer into letting my drive alone, less than a week later I was driving a 30ae home - I found one the original buyer canceled because he couldn't fit into it

Brother, you sound exactly like 99.9% of the fanboys and what you say is the usual mantra, but its not real. Miata is not a good car, its a good Miata, full stop. There is no performance, no comfort and all the old rust boxes are falling apart and they are mainly owned by people who can not afford other cars. For me sports car is about emotions and about connection with the environment especially in a roadster. But Miata gives you zero emotions, from outside the looks are really a joke - no one ever said its a good looking car, thus so much aftermarket. From inside its uncomfortable, unspacious and its hard to find a good driving position inside. Bottom line Miata is oversized go cart, which is can be fun at certain moment and certain place but in general its useless as you really cant have a proper experience in it, you really cant go on a proper long road trip in Miata and experience the awesome backgrounds(if they are not behind your house) because sitting in this shitbox for longer than 5hours will just cripple you for rest of your life if you will start thinking about crashing in it than you are in a deep depression as there is no protection and crash in this little death trap means instant death. Last but not least you will not go for a proper road trip in Miata because you bought it mainly as you dont have cash for a better car, thus its a shitbox and you know it would brake somewhere. So as a go cart for driving around your house, yes, but thats gets old very quickly. I have recently start go for a longer road trips mainly to Alps and I have to tell you, thats the real car experience for me, 'living-driving' in the car for hours but yet not being crippled and enjoying it even on a straight road, driving fast on a highway, being able to see great sceneries and when you came across nice back road or maintain road being able to enjoy it. That's for me the ultimate driving experience for me and Miata is simply not made for this. Miata is a cheap quick fix, but not a real solution ;) Keep the Porsche brother, its a car, not a go kart ;)

@@Aluzcz complains about fanboys, behaves exactly like one... good job. Maybe you're just the miserable one here trying to make people who have fun miserable too eh?

I also sold mine and regretted it all these years! Bought another last summer and I'm sooooo happy!

Did you miss the "morning glory" reference-? There are more uh, prizes in there. :o

Tbh I'd modify the hell out of the NA. LS3 swap would take ~30k then I'd still have 5k left over for the turbo + extra fun bits

A 30k modded NA Miata is a deathtrap. Fun as hell but can't compare. You only buy an NA bc you can't afford am ND. Noone would buy an NA now of they had a choice between the two.

I’d take the new one it’s just cooler, it just looks ore aggressive I would only take a soft top new one it looks great and it has blue tooth and a warranty

@@smugpug3093 pop up headlights are just a novelty and I've owned 4 cars with them.

@@hmorris you can install bluetooth to almost any cars out there lol new or old
