your production quality is amazing for a channel of this size and i love the fact that you go through the comments and reply to people. keep it up!

@TheStraightPipes 7 лет назад

+Sample Text thanks! Here is our obligatory reply

@YuriTereshyn 7 лет назад

Sample Text I work in film. Also it's just the 2 of us doing everything. Thanks for noticing :-)

@JackThompson-if1xx 7 лет назад

this channel is great it actually tests a car on what is trying to be and doesnt compare a mazda to a 400hp + car

@TheStraightPipes 7 лет назад

+Jack Thompson exactly, thanks

@CarltonGauss 7 лет назад

This is 100% the best looking miata ever, and honestly I can't think of a better looking car that I see on the roads. And that "soul red" color is the nicest red I've seen on any car.

@d0cx 4 года назад

I'm so glad Mazda went back to the roots with the new Miata. Not too much power, but more focusing on making the most fun possible with an amazing shifter, hydraulic steering, etc.

@gilpiper3564 6 лет назад

“The front looks like a trouble makers face.” Gave me a good laugh. 😂

@ausingtv 7 лет назад

I've been bored of cars for years now no matter what the power but bought one of these a few months back and I always have a laugh when driving it. Awesome car

@TheStraightPipes 7 лет назад

+Si Dog Ducati that's awesome, always great when a certain car can give you that feeling back

@ausingtv 7 лет назад

TheStraightPipes it is yes and great review btw.

@JoelOman1980 2 года назад

Watching this in 2022, after just ordering a 2022 MX-5 in Soul Red (2.0L, Manual, soft top) it shows how far you guys have come. I'm really impressed and also, you two are the reason I'm getting "back" into driving cars for fun, because, IT IS! Thanks Jacub and Yuri for always delivering top-notch entertainment! Kudos!

@minihjalte 7 лет назад

absolutely amazing cinematography

@TheStraightPipes 7 лет назад

+minihjalte thanks!

@cliffyp 7 лет назад

Go with the base trim - Sport here in the US. No infotainment system, just a radio with BT connectivity. Works well enough, and no knob and screen to fidget with.

@TheStraightPipes 7 лет назад

+Cliff Palmer, Jr. That's all you need in a car like this

@iTzzJoSuE 6 лет назад

Cliff Palmer, Jr. open diff though :/

@gregblack8550 5 лет назад

@VladoooThe 7 лет назад

I have a 2016 Mazda 3, and once you get used to the console infotanement controls you won't want anything else. It's so intuitive and right were your hand is anyway. So much safer than having to reach up and look at a touch screen. With the physical buttons right under your hand you never have to take your eyes off the road.

@the1reef.243 7 лет назад

I think I'm the only one who thinks this is one of the best infotainment systems out there. There's three buttons above the rotary knob, dedicated for Home, Nav and Audio. I think it's made so that the driver doesn't put thought into it. But people have opinions, and I kinda see why you don't like it. p.s - I feel like it's a reference to the rotary engine that they were so once known for.

@TheStraightPipes 7 лет назад

+Arrowrooter35 - so far it would appear you are the only one judging by the comments, but I'm sure there's more!

@larphraulen 7 лет назад

Arrowrooter35 - I actually use the rotary knob on my VW more than the touch screen. Once you get a feel for the pathing of the settings, rotaries can be really quick and safe. I can see that happening with the Mazda system as well.

@JJF1973 7 лет назад

Strangely enough most of the American car mags rate it as one of the best. Of course they do have to deal with GM's infotainment.

@cosmotraumatika7474 7 лет назад

I kind of agree in that I like the simplicity of the rotary knob as it's true to the spirit of the car. I want something to forward the Pandora song I don't want to listen to or quickly mute the audio without moving my hand far from being ready to shift. I don't even have to look at the display to skip songs; the instrumentation is part of the feel of the car.

@glibsonoran 7 лет назад

I agree I hate trying to hit the right spot on touchscreens on a bumpy road and then having a screen full of fingerprints... ugh. Rotary knob takes all of about 10 minutes to get used to and it's a much better way to control when you're driving.

@Antichu 6 лет назад

Mazda infotainment is great guys, its easy to learn, to access shortcuts and you dont even have to look at the buttons or knobs, and the distraction from the screen is minimum. It's only missing Applecarplay and Androidauto, but once integrated the controls are great.

@TheStraightPipes 6 лет назад

+Gustavo Muñoz apparently it's coming in 2018

@Dano-MX5 7 лет назад

Great reviews btw. You guys and Savagegeese are my favorites. Injecting a little humor in reviews makes a sometimes mundane subject enjoyable. The best reviewers employ it with success. Some attempt it and fail but the give and take between the 2 of you is spot on.

@TheStraightPipes 7 лет назад

+Dan Wells awesome thanks for the feedback. We feel the same

@siamiam 7 лет назад

i have owned 6 NA miatas from stock to turbocharged,supercharged automatic ,manual and enjoyed them all but i would take the ND over them any day especially the RF

@eddiegray793 5 лет назад

How much for the turbo and did you like it tks

@twalker294 7 лет назад

Great video. I bought my MX5 at the beginning of April and it's the most fun car I've ever owned. I came from an E39 M5 and I'd drive the MX5 over it any day of the week. And the infotainment isn't as bad as you guys make it out to be ;-) I do wish it had Android Auto though. Keep up the great work! You just gained a subscriber.

@TheStraightPipes 7 лет назад

+twalker294 thanks! The infotainment would be acceptable if the touch screen worked while the car is in motion. Like pretty much every other manufacturer

@Nathan5791 7 лет назад

As per Mazda, Android Auto and Car Play option is coming early next year and existing systems will be upgradable (paid option). That would make it even better!

@TheStraightPipes 7 лет назад

+Nathan5791 finally

@BMWM3LOVER 6 лет назад

Cannot get over how much fun these reviews are - absolutely awesome. I love MX-5s (future owner) but at this point I’m watching Straight Pipes reviews for cars I don’t even care about. Highly underrated channel with crazy good production quality and entertainment. Keep it up!!

@TheStraightPipes 6 лет назад

Thanks man! We have the 2019 updated miata review coming up 😉

@vipermoon_ 6 лет назад

I love that you guys are okay with disagreeing with each other and don't dwell on it or get awkward about it. Having two people with differing opinions in a car review channel might be essential for providing viewers with diverse opinions.

@Mi82475 4 года назад

I've watched this video quite a lot 🙈 I mean I watched probably all the youtube content I could find about Miatas... But in the end it was Yuri enthusiasm in this video that sealed the deal. 😆 Now I love our red ND soft top 😍 Here in Europe we have also the 1.5 liters 130 bhp version. It revs even higher than the 2.0 160 bhp and it's perfect for the much heavier taxes and pricier fuel.

@TheStraightPipes 4 года назад

Amazing!!

@ronochow 6 лет назад

Their infotainment isn't that bad. It was one of the good ones when they first came out with it in the Mazda 3 and stuff.

@arnoldkevorkov3640 6 лет назад

I agree. Best roadster ever!

@cosmotraumatika7474 7 лет назад

Great video. I own a 2017 MX-5 Club with the performance package and indeed you're right on the performance package making it the best configuration. It's been an insanely great every day driver given I've got 50 miles of country backroads and just a short 10 mile run of interstate in the middle (which concludes into a tight cloverleaf which is always a blast for ripping into). Per the mediocre entertainment system, a lot of us prefer to run entertainment off of our mobile devices. Whether its Pandora or other audio apps, I'm quite fine ignoring the tame dash console since the mobile device runs the show and the audio quality in the 2017 is quite solid. Anyway thanks for reviewing. It's a car that has totally transformed my previously dreaded commute into a joy every day.

@AndreThompson925 2 года назад

Yuri, I know this is an old review, but I believe your takes on this car are absolutely perfect. Jesus this is a really good video, you guys.

@dr.dt.turhandidinen3311 3 года назад

I will have an mx-5 next week and it is soooo difficult to wait! 😂

You guys are too much fun to watch. Easily the most entertaining reviewers out there.

@jasonhermosilla9064 7 лет назад

This is a well made video. Keep up the good work. Wondering why there aren't much views.

Man, just rewatched this. Miss this energy from the Straight Pipes, more chill and less formulaic than their videos now. They seemed more excited about little things.

@mattjones3257 6 лет назад

You guys should try to drive a mazdaspeed miata NB or a turbocharged NA sometime. Always like it when you review older models.

@seabass9916 6 лет назад

I'm with Jakob. This is so much better looking than other generations.

@jameslane2326 Год назад

I have a 2016 automatic, and news flash, its still fun in a corner, i get both slap stick and paddleshifter options if i want them but i dont have to worry about a clutch in traffic

@davidepaltrinieri3535 6 лет назад

to all the guys looking forward to buy an mx5 but are worried about the lack of compartments, you can also use the space between the seat and the door sill to place things like phone, wallet etc :) they don't move around

@nathm657 7 лет назад

Hi guys, I enjoyed watching your review for the MX-5 2017 and how honest and simple conversation about the likes and dislike you both have about the car. However, can you tell me why you really prefer the soft top against the RF? Because I too like the soft top though some said they hardly have difficult time talking normal compared to the RF, did you guys experience that too?Thanks and keep up the good work. It is great to watch locals do reviews.

@TheStraightPipes 7 лет назад

+Nath M prefer the soft top because its a "true" Miata. The RF is more hard top than it is a convertible. Since this is the closest to the original NA, the soft top is mandatory!

@eric8588 6 лет назад

Seriously the video work in these videos is top notch!

@TheStraightPipes 6 лет назад

+Eric Vilendrer thanks

@moke37 7 лет назад

That $41k price point for the GT is just brutal here. Even if the other trims were priced just a little bit lower I feel the MX-5 would be selling better. Especially when its's going up against probably its biggest competitor, the BRZ/86

@faeinthebay 7 лет назад

Great editing and camera work! It's great to see this channel improve.

I think in 2017 is when the Miata finally became AWESOME, and only getting better. Mazda plans another huge improvement in the 2019 models

@jdub_vdub 6 лет назад

The intro edit on this video DOPE 👌🏼

@timothycoyne5874 4 года назад

Miata is always the answer. ;-) I daily drive a 2018 GT soft top. In the dozen or so cars I’ve owned or daily driven, this is my absolute favorite. And while I wish mine had the LSD, it’s fine without it for just street use.

@briancahill145 7 лет назад

@harpreetmanjal9483 7 лет назад

@TheStraightPipes 7 лет назад

+Happy vaisakhi Manjal we may do that in the future

@HardwayLearning 7 лет назад

WOW! You guys have really great color grading/composition/framing/audio. WTF, but anyways it is still a Miata!

@clairebannister4749 6 лет назад

in the uk we can get the 1.5 which is even revvier (7500 red line) and 2150lb.. very cool - and 158 bhp with remap. and 16" wheels with 50 profile

@GetIrked 7 лет назад

Yuri! The ultimate Miata movie is LOOPER! Young Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) restores a Miata (an NA, your favorite, no less) - it gets exotic status because no one in the future has non-automated, gasoline-powered cars! Surprising amount of screen time for our little NA in red. Plus, how could you not love a movie with not one but TWO Bruce Willis... es?

@winglessang31 5 лет назад

I like what this car’s about but I much prefer the hard styling of the brz. Also more power and more usable. Backseats + slightly bigger trunk.

@LJLion 7 лет назад

you guys are right talking about how awful Mazda's infotainment system is. That's one of the reasons I went from 2014 Mazda 3 sport to 2017 Hyundai sonata sport. Hyundai offers a Lovely infotainment system with lifetime maps update on Android auto. and this beauty actually was 5 grands less than my old Mazda 3. The warranty is the Cherry on the cake. 10 years Super!

Wow, awesome review! I have both a 17 RF and a 13 Focus ST. It's weird bouncing between the two and I often find things I wish the other car had. I actually prefer the more aggressive seats in the ST but I love the driving position in the RF... :D The Recaro option would be awesome to have in the US, but sadly not here. :(

@TheStraightPipes 7 лет назад

+Ed dude that's an awesome choice in cars. You clearly love to drive and have fun haha

One which lacks new Mx-5 is the Classic Red color. 100 were sold by limitation in Japan, but acquisition is difficult, so I'm angry.

@baoyiyang 7 лет назад

great video. MX5 is a car you spend twice the time saying "xxx doesn't matter" vs "xxx is really good"; while GT86 is completely the opposite

@carlosburgos7083 6 лет назад

I love all Miatas but this new one, I don't care what some people say about the looks but its so damn good looking to me. I'd buy one just to stare at it lol. I have an FRS though, I prefer having the tiny ass seats in the back and the car being a coupe. If I went MX5, it would HAVE to be the RF.
