6:04 Loved the shift-points and redlines comparison, really helpful to illustrate the difference in HP in the 2019 version.

@syntheticXstasy 6 лет назад

Yes this! I watched it a couple times at 0.25x speed, really the best illustration possible of what the increased redline and HP mean for the car.

@BoopSnoot 6 лет назад

Slow vs very slow! Miatas are about more than just horsepower, but there are so many lightweight high performance engines out now, I don't know why they can't jam something more impressive in there. My mom's GLA45 grocery getter hatchback is 400hp, and under the hood its not large at all, and it does 0-60mph in 4.2 seconds. And Mazda themselves have the much hyped Skyactive-X engine that they are putting in the non-sportscar Mazda 3, and yet the Miata that is supposed to be a sportcar stays on an old engine design that is just tweaked instead of replaced. Sad.

@tomhiggins4816 6 лет назад

I just want them to put their 2.5 turbo in it, my god what a car that would be. They did a turbo for the nb so why not now :P

@luclapierre7621 6 лет назад

It's not supposed to be a straight-line car...

@BoopSnoot 5 лет назад

Unlikely. The Miata doesn't even do well on the skidpad, pulling only 0.9G. By contrast their Z06 Clubsport pulled 1.12. Heck, even their 1984 Pontiac Trans Am pulled 0.98G. But my primary point is that the MIata is underpowered, and it is.

@narpiti 6 лет назад

I watched your ND MX-5 review since the first one (also watched them so many times, I loved the first one the most) It really help my decision making. Now I owned the RF for a month with no regret at all. I’m not a car guy and I normally don’t like to drive but since I got the RF I want to drive it everyday, no kidding, I really feel excited when I get through turns and corners. The car is indeed not fast but the agility, engine sound also a bit of wind noise make it feels fast. For me, it is quite practical as well, I drive it to work everyday, the trunk is enough for my bags and grocery for two to three people. Anyway, I think the best part of this car is the looks. The surface design was beautifully crafted, the color is gorgeous (soul red crystal) I can feel that it is really a head-turner car. I don’t put the top down that much because I lived in really hot climate (now is about 30-40c) but it still feels fine, I really look forward to the winter (which is about 23c and yes, this is probably the coldest we can have here). I really admired your work and please keep on doing it. Your fan from Bangkok, Thailand.

TurgBurglar - Hell no. Or if so, only one that can be disabled.

@vanquish421 6 лет назад

The Club should come with kit that better stiffens it up. The Bilstein dampers and tower brace don't do as much as some stiffer springs and sway bars would. Granted most people who care about that are gonna upgrade all those parts anyway, but it would just be nice if the Club had a wider gap between the normal suspension.

@BoopSnoot 6 лет назад

Its the same car, and it didn't get the Skyactive-X compression ignition engine. Disappointment. It still won't come close to keeping up with a Honda Odyssey. I have a feeling when the new generation Mazdaspeed 3 is released, it will objectively beat the Miata in every way except hte ability to drop the roof.

@vanquish421 6 лет назад

DumbDuck44 - "it didn't get the Skyactive-X compression ignition engine" There were probably plenty of reasons for that. Namely that it's a brand new engine that they're going to test in their fleet vehicles before dropping into their sports car. But I do agree it's disappointed, and that we hopefully get it soon. "It still won't come close to keeping up with a Honda Odyssey." Only in a straight line, which is never what the Miata has been about in its near 30 years of existence. Look elsewhere if you care enough about that to compare a true roadster to a minivan. "I have a feeling when the new generation Mazdaspeed 3 is released, it will objectively beat the Miata in every way except hte ability to drop the roof." And, you know...still being WRONG wheel drive. And being as light. And having the same double wishbone suspension all around. But sure pal, totally the same or better in every other sense! /s

@billyhughes9776 6 лет назад

These newer styled MX-5's look soooo good. Best red color ever. Muffler difference -- the tone of the new one is pitched slightly lower at the beginning of the rev but at the higher rpms they sound pretty much the same. EDIT: Upon listening again with good headphones -- I was wrong -- the 2018 starts more low and guttural but then at the higher revs sound is almost the same The '19 sounds smoother overall,...maybe?

@carlosbrigett2574 5 лет назад

I own a 2017 Club MX-5. I'm quite happy with the 155 hp. We have plenty of roads here in South Carolina I can take it up to what ever speed, but it's all in the cornering for me, and the downshifting. I love all that stuff. Back in my younger days I owned a '64 MGB, then a '66 MGB and loved both of them, but this MX-5 is so much more fun to drive, even with the electric steering, wish it weren't but I'll take it anyway. Can't stop driving this vehicle, much like it was back with the MG's. Of course it's a rag top roadster. That's what I paid for. Thanks for the review and keep up the good work.

@chrisogrady28 6 лет назад

The ratio between horsepower and torque tells you the redline. Having 26 extra hp and basically the same torque already tells you it has a higher redline. If you like high revving cars you want low torque, high hp.

@thatoneotherotherguy 6 лет назад

I honestly like that they went this direction instead of just upping displacement. High redline seemed like exactly what the ND was missing.

@chrisogrady28 6 лет назад

Ryan yes, I much prefer high revving, but 7500 is only average for an NA sports car. I’d like to see 8500+

@yoshisaurusrex3767 6 лет назад

I do not think this will ever happen. For my taste, Honda made a wrong turn after they stopped production of the S2000. I doubt that they would make a NA engine ever again. Politics killed it and even Mazda will move to supercharged with the Skyactiv X.

@chrisogrady28 6 лет назад

How on Earth is that door change a good thing? If you’re in a tight space you want it to lock in that first position, in the UK you have to open to that first notch and squeeze out all the time, the new first notch on the new car is wider than we have room for in a lot of situations. With what logic does this make it ‘easier to get in and out in tight spaces’?

@BoltRM 6 лет назад

Agreed. That door logic baffled me.

@strebrr 6 лет назад

Thank you Christopher O'Grady. That doesn't make sense in any way. 3 locks are way more better than 2. Every manufacturer is saving money with just producing 2 locks and the most comfortable "middle lock" is missing now. Really nerve wrecking in tight spots.

@hauptmann25 6 лет назад

In situations where space is tight you put your hand between your car and whatever is constricting your space anyway and dont lock it in position. And for when space is not such an issue but still enough that the biggest opening level is too much the new 1st level is inbetween the 1st and 2nd on the 2018 which is perfect imo.

Maticalise Music Master if Honda releases another S2000 do you think they will go back to Mazda for their rule Drive engineering prowess?

@Dano-MX5 6 лет назад

Maticalise Music Master, I've owned 4 S2000s and 3 Miatas. My current 2017 ND MX-5 is perhaps my favorite (although my '02 Spa Yellow S2k holds a special place in my heart). The ND is sooo much better than my '01 and '08 Miatas and a completely different car than an S2k. The ND is like an eager little puppy wanting to please it's master at all times. The S2k is more like a pitbull. Brutish and somewhat boring until you get its hackles up (VTEC) then it comes alive and puts a huge smile on its owner's face. Yes, the Miata is awesome...and from what I've heard Honda has nixed the idea of another S2000.

@SWTrailsAndWheels 6 лет назад

I've owned two Miata's and now have an '06 S2K. The Honda feels like a true sports car, the Miata is a fun "sporty" runabout. Chassis dynamics, traction, power, and even style are so much better in the S2k.

@S2kTi 6 лет назад

Currently own an ap2 s2000 and a Miata. They cannot replace each other. They both are amazing cars in thier own way

@Dano-MX5 6 лет назад

S2kTi ..... So true! The love I have for my ND stems largely from the fact that I'm 66 years old, 6', 210lbs. and I'm supremely comfortable in that car. The S2ks were always a tight fit but the magic of VTEC was the siren song that called me to own 4 of them between 2003 to 2016. Now that I'm retired our day trips are longer and driving comfort is much appreciated. But you are correct. The S2k and the MX-5 are completely different cars. In the spirit of the British sports cars of old the Mazda is the rightful heir. The S2k carved its own path with its high revving 4 cyl. engines but IMO is more akin to the Boxster and Z3 as far as chassis dynamics and its larger size. Debating which lineage exemplifies what a "true sports car" is depends on ones own definition.

I got a screaming good deal on mine, which I wouldn’t have gotten had I opted for a new 2019. This ND is my first roadster, first convertible, and first sports car. After just a couple weeks with it I understood why everyone loves Miatas, and I absolutely love mine. Of the dozen cars I’ve owned and/or daily driven, this is easily my favorite.

@caedom21 6 лет назад

Another great video. I like the follow of the miata clips including the one through cliche corner. I'd love to get one but 1) it's hilariously impractical with two seats and a truck the size of a backpack, 2) it's super hot in texas so taking the top down is asking for heat stroke, 3) for the price of a new mx5 club, you can buy a Mustang GT. Could you guys start showing the engine bay?

@TheStraightPipes 6 лет назад

Yeah we try to show engines on cool cars with cool engine bays. Lots are just plastic covers these days

@danielisbell 6 лет назад

Unless your 1st issue is the real problem, you're making a mistake by not getting a Miata. It's still fun to drive with the top up, & Texas still cools off in the evening. More importantly, it's more fun to drive than a Mustang GT. Also, if you're talking new vs new in the US, a base trim Miata is still $10k cheaper than a base Mustang GT. Only a fully loaded Miata matches the price of a base Mustang GT. Start adding options to the Mustang, & the the price difference increases again.

@caedom21 6 лет назад

Daniel Isbell I don’t disagree with you but when you give me a price tag of $37k, im always going to cross shop against a Mustang GT.

@danielisbell 6 лет назад

That's the thing though, only one option combination ends up with a price tag that high: RF Club MT BBS/Brembo. The more typical combinations end up in the $30k to $32k range, & if you're not concerned with options, the base model is closer to $25k (which is a reasonable assumption if you're willing to consider the base Mustang GT). I'm not saying that you shouldn't cross shop, but this is more in the Ecoboost price range than the GT.

Daniel Isbell You should always cross shop. The hard thing about comparing a MX5 is that there is nothing out there that is comparable.... at all. Z3 would be the closest and I’m not sure they make those anymore. Even at $25k, you could get a 3 year old mustang or camero v8. But if you have your heart set on getting a street legal Mario cart, then the Miata is your vehicle. Zoom, zoom.

Miata Is Always The Answer.

"Doin' the speed limit, havin' a great time, not getting tickets", yep that's the Miata MO right there! All day, every day, Miata day. You see the world in colour when you drive a Miata. Jolly good show, chaps!

When Yuri drives and Jakub is the passenger, your hair is both parted towards the centre of car. When you guys pull the ol' switcheroo....your hair is parted towards the outside of the car. Which is better? Did the handling improve?

10:07. An important change that you missed: Non-exploding transmissions. The transmission in the ND has been reworked three times, so it's version 4 in all current models. The v1 one in my '15 1.5l just blew up... out of warranty.

Placed my order for a 1.5 ND about a week ago and just had to contact my dealer to make sure I’m getting a 2019 model after watching this. Luckily I am!

@ucube33 5 лет назад

I have driven the 2019 MX-5 RF Manual and it was the most fun I have had in a car. I wish it had some more horsepower though, but for the money its the best sporty vehicle out there. I recommend this a lot.

Great video Guys. Quite seasonal. I love the fact that you had access to the 2018. Very well thought out comparison. Good idea. Thanks.

@thvtsjordy2716 6 лет назад

I really love the Miata I just wish it had AppleCar Play or AndroidAuto but it still is a nice car! In the winter I saw people in their miatas while it was snowing with their tops down! I wonder what that would feel like?

@evilspoons 6 лет назад

All "Mazda Connect" systems are getting AA and CP right away, it's a replacement control box and cable package. The problem is "right away" on car manufacturer time is friggin forever compared to, say, software update time so I expect some of them to roll around this fall or winter. Some people on the Mazda forums are pre-ordering the part numbers from China and self-installing and having OK luck, but I'm just waiting it out for my 2018 Mazda 3 GT.

What a car! I heard the Subaru WRX STI Type RA-R some minutes ago and I think that it will save me the money to upgrade my STI in the future to the next engine STI. That's why I might add a Miata instead or a BRZ and keep my rumbling STI. The Miata which I drove in California and Nevada was a great car. Thank you for the video.

@mikes1929 6 лет назад

If you need a reverse camera in a Miata, you shouldn't be allowed to drive.

@johntechwriter 5 лет назад

With the top up rear quarter visibility is extremely poor.

@Ben-Rogue 6 лет назад

Anyone who needs a reverse camera in an MX5 shouldn't be driving

@GlassStatus 6 лет назад

Ben Rogue "if you need power steering to drive then you shouldn't be driving" garuntee people used to say that. Stop complaining.

@alansmilealot 6 лет назад

Ben Rogue another use for the reverse camera isn't to assist you at parking but to also let you know that something coming. Have you ever been in a miata parked between these huge ass so called compact cars we have on the road. In my NA, most cars trunks are higher than my roof line.
