Thank you for making this, i really needed this information. Because I'm thinking of getting a NC MX-5 but i kinda need to drive it in the winter 😅

Highly recommend going with the 205/55/16 winter tires if you do! Bit of extra height and I didn't experience any rubbing all winter. It's obviously no SUV, but with winter tires and as long as it's not storm/blizzard conditions, it's doable just like any other car.

Nice review I am looking at a GT model of the same year right now

Best looking miata after the original. Looks pretty sleek at the right angles and I think the car will age well in the future. But I might be bias since I have that gen also lol.

Does the power leave u wanting more? That's my main concern with a mx5.

@kevinandrew_ Год назад

At times, but overall not really. If you care about racing people then I can see it being disappointing, but imo it has enough power to get out of it's own way, and the lightweight playfulness makes up for it. I had a Golf R before this (not the fastest car, but far more hp/tq than Miata), and I have no desire to go back.
