2020 Mazda MX-5 GS Review | Which Trim Package Is Right For You?! 

I am glad you found the review helpful, thanks for watching!

@@RoadsUntraveled doumo arigatou 🙂

Agreed, would be practical instead of just a looks thing.

I'd absolutely have the ND over the Abarth! There's definitely something to be said about a turbo engine, but I enjoy Mazda's just a bit more

....owned an ND2, missed some aggressiveness, bought now a GTS4.0, still - the MX5 is a fab car and rare proposition....

@@fragu123 Interesting. BBR GTi in the UK offer a 'Super 220' which involves cams, exhaust manifold/header, valvesprings and takes the power up to 220 with a higher 7800rpm redline. They're developing an ITB package like they did with the NC's 'Super 225', so hoping that provides some more aggression. But regardless, the 718 GTS 4.0 must be an incredible car to drive!

@@joetaka7620 ...I test drove the 220HP car with modified brakes, suspension, etc... at SPS Motorsport in Germany, pot. Europes most famous MX5 specialist and it was definitely a huge improvement over the standard car. Tons of fun.... still I opted for the GTS4.0, assuming that n/a, manual Porsche’s won’t be around for that much longer. Cheers...

@@fragu123 Wow, I didn't expect to hear that! I respect your decision - many people are speculating that the next generation 718s will be electrified and as we all know, naturally aspirated engines will be extinct soon, so I don't blame you for going for the infamous flat 6 with the manual! Enjoy your ride 👍

@Rubedo Alaberti No I want something at Supra level. A BRZ with a sorted torque dip is far from what the FD RX-7 stood for :)

@Rubedo Alaberti No more torque dip in the new 2022 model !

Upgrading to a trim with the heated seats will allow top down driving into the winter.

I’ve had both! The hardtop is absolutely a little bit quieter, feels more solid, and it gives me piece of mind security wise when not being parked in a garage. Highly recommended. :)

@@sonictonic_ cheers for the help. Yours were NDs? Experienced any difference due to to the 50-70kg extra weight of the RF version in terms of driving?

@@martonerdosi8289 Not at all. They reduced so much weight on the ND, my RF feels lighter on the road than my NC with soft top by far. I'm not basing this on any numbers or stats I'm basing this on normal driving and how I feel driving it. Just my opinion and impression. :)

@@sonictonic_ thanks for sharing your experience! Drive safe and enjoy!:)

@@martonerdosi8289 No prob! Cheers!

This.

I traded my 2014 Cayman for this 2020 Miata RF GTS

@@redbxstr can you elaborate on your feelings after the trade :-)

@@rafaelcordoba13 I feel good about the trade. I have another Porsche, a 1974 914, so I’m not totally giving up Porsche. I like that the Miata will be less expensive to maintain, and repairs if need be will be less expensive, and I’m getting a targa convertible whereas the Cayman was strictly hardtop. I really like the look of the Miata ND2 RF GT. If you were to get a Porsche, I’d recommend a Boxster S. I had two, and are fast and fun. If you go for a Porsche, buy 2009 or newer. Earlier years of those engines has problems with the chain bearing. Buy a 6 speed. The Porsche is faster but the Miata will easier to upkeep. Porsches are pricey to maintain new or used. A cheap used Porsche is the most expensive one in the long run. The Miata is smaller but you’ll get much better fuel mileage, and people said they get up to 40 mpg, if that is important. I used to get about only 23-25 on the Cayman. Both are fun cars, but their different. The Miata is like a British 60s car. The Porsche is like a race car. If you have any other question, give a shout.

@Ryuichi Tanaka that blows, but still as it is with the 2.0 n/a it's still heaps of fun. It just would've been an extra fun trackweapon with a turbo engine on board. Not that we Scandinavians would ever see one of those anyways..

@@lessmasterdark I agree with you, that is one thing where the previous generation NC is better than the ND (not to mention the hydraulic steering feel) - not only the engines the NC have are modular, the bonnet (or hood) is higher than the ND, so it can fit the taller engine. On a positive note, BBR GTi (based in the UK) have plenty of reliable naturally aspirated upgrades for the ND that give an 'OEM'-like feel. Super 220 is a cam + exhaust manifold + valvespring + ECU remap which make 220hp. They're going to make an ITB package for another 20hp ontop of that too. They also have a turbo kit as well.

Ex-Koenigsegg testdriver Robert Serwanski owns a NC MX-5 and has a Nurburgring video on youtube beating a GT3RS twice. Also Christian Von Koenigsegg owns an NA MX-5 too. Another fact is that you don't even have a driving license, and you're just a pathetic poor virgin

Dude, that's how they say Mazda in Canada. Technically that's not even correct. The proper Japanese pronunciation is closer to "Matsuda". If you're gonna correct him, you need to at least be correct yourself.
