This is the best vehicle review I’ve seen of any vehicle. Great job. If I survive a cancer thing I have going on I’m buying a Red 2021 Grand Touring RF…I might buy it anyway if the docs give me two years.

This is the one I have been waiting for. I owned a 2016 sport MX5 for 3 years. I LOVED that car, I completely agree that it's just about the best street-legal experience you can get with a car. I also VERY much agree that naturally aspirated immediate power makes the most sense in this car. Turbo lag would ruin the personality. I was a tiny bit disappointed with the 155HP I had since I also couldn't rev it out past 6,500 so I do think the 181HP and higher redline were perfect changes that would only make the car better. As long as they made the transmission strong enough to take it.... I don't quite agree that the trunk is big enough though. I tried to daily it as a single person, and realized that one big package of paper towels or toilet paper will pretty much fill the entire trunk. And there's no back seat, so you end up having to put all the soda and stuff in the passengers seat. It's possible to make it work, but it's rather inconvenient even when compared to the space in a compact car. Also I'm only 5'9" but I have long legs, and I noticed that I didn't have enough room for my right knee, it was always bumping into the radio shroud plastic. Those were very minor issues though. Great review! Thank you for taking the time to edit these videos and post them! I'm so glad I found this channel after buying my Forte GT manual, your reviews are very comprehensive. Cheers!

I watched a ton of reviews on the Miata RF, and every review had one thing in common: Although quoting the hard numbers doesn't sound super impressive on paper, I notice every reviewer while driving has nothing but smiles and grins all around. Reviews like yours convinced me to finally buy a 2021 RF Grand Touring. And WOW, this car is 10/10 smiles-per-gallon lol. Thanks for the great review, you're among the many that convinced me to get my first Miata!

If they would make a coupe-hatchback just like this there'd be no question. Even lighter, stiffer, and with a lot more cargo space.

So far the best review I have seen on this car, Great job!

Great video quality !! Deserves waaay more subscribers !

ND Miata is the modern classic sports car. The changes that Mazda made to update the ND2 transformed the driving experience compared to the ND1 and essentially make the car an S2000-lite while still achieving better daily driving capabilities than that car could ever imagine.

Great, detailed, analysis of the MX-5 that covered all the Main Features that a driver would be interested in! Great Presenter re his knowledge and appreciation of the history, past and present of the MX and his comparisons of the Then and Now versions. 2 thumbs up, will subscribe and when I win the loto...now to check out the colors.

Excellent tour of the car and it's interior features. No Bull or distracting attitude. Super. Thanks

Wow, nice review, clear voice and well thought out!

The best review I’ve watched!

I pick mine up Friday last Friday in April. Gun metal. I ordered mine Dec. of 2020 and now it’s at the dealership in St Cloud MN. This is the most beautiful car. 🏎

Thanks for the thorough accurate review, they are great little cars! DC

Great review, solid delivery. Thanks!

Excellent review. Just recently purchased a 2021 MX-5 RF GT, jet blue mica and white leather interior. It's my daily driver, and I love it!! The whole time watching this review, my head kept nodding as I agreed with all comments. Nice that you touched on the infotainment - it's worth noting that the native Mazda Connect system is...ok, but Android Auto/Carplay are pretty much a must. Great video quality and editing. Subscribed!

Totally agree about the engine, it's almost perfect now with the ND2. The throttle response is excellent with the naturally aspirated engine, it's rev happy and got plenty enough pull for those winding back roads. Of course for pure straight line acceleration you can always use more power, but that's not the main focus of the MX-5. The only thing I lack is a bit more rumble to the exhaust sound, but that can be fixed quite easily with aftermarket parts.

Very good review. Good quality material. Congrats 👏. I am subscribing

Serious ASMR from this guy's voice.....great review too!

I bought a 2018 rf a few weeks ago, and I’m in love. Great review by the way :)

Great review just in the process of upgrading used to have an mx5 and loved it. Just need a little car so perfect for me.

Well shot and presented. Subscribed!

Thanks for sharing, this is the color combo to get :)

I love the design. I'd also love it if they gave it another 500cc of displacement and got the 0-60 down near 5 seconds. Nicely done review.

I’ve owned my MX5 RF for about a week... been smiling a LOT 😜

Great job on this review 👍🏻

Really enjoyed your review!

EXCELLENT DICTION ‼️Great Review 👍🏼

Great review.

Can I just say that I will probably never get this car, the wife made me get the 2021 Toyota Yaris Hybrid 😄 but this is a great review, hope the channel will grow

I brought my first Mazda last week ( 2018 Mazda 3) . I love that sporty look of the MX 5 , though . One day , maaaan , one day ! 😊

Fabulous review😁

this has got to be one of best if not the best review i watched on the 2021 mx5-gt/rf;this is total 'drivers-car' personally not a 'daily' i think thats where the rare few complaints if you will comes from;this is a weekend-toy/sports-car/drivers-car; NOT a family car not a SUV;not enough trunk space for all your suitcases lol?=buy a SUV!! im tired of ppl making digs on this car,when its a small,sports car for pure driving fun,esp the 6speed manual!! packed with all the drivers' goodies and all the interior goodies too w the grand touring,then to add a POWER-TOP with the RF!! this is such an engaging-car(6speed manual) i think there will be in the next few yrs ppl who are so very sorry they didnt pursue/order one of these personally,id love to be wrong on that,but most likely wont be.and of all things,'adaptive-lighting!!" for a small sports car,thats next to unheard-of, heck most 'normal' cars dont offer/have that!

Fantastic review

A cultured, thoughtful, Brother, describing the features of a Great, World-class Roadster that's pure "Fun in the Sun." I wish there was 20 more Hp., as "200+, total" would give it more "resonance" against, say, a Boxer, or a 'Stang, imo. So sez Jek Silberstein

excellent review

It baffles me that the adaptive front lighting isn’t offered on the Club trim. Would it not be beneficial when racing at night?

I have a 2011 PRHT Grand Touring MX-5 that I bought from new. It is still a joy to drive whether commuting or on the backroads. Very nimble, responsive and in touch with the driver and the road. I have test driven the ND and to me the steering felt too light and disconnected. Also it has less storage than my NC in that there is no glovebox, side pockets and a not so we'll proportioned trunk. The cup holders are flimsy whereas in my NC they are bang in the middle console and so no spillage. Overall I think Mazda removed a lot of practicality presumably to reduce the weight and for external aesthetics. I would not want to take the ND on a long weekend away for two people. So I'm sticking with my 2011 until it dies.

Beautiful!

Good review.

this color is smooth

Lol nobody is talking about how beautiful the car engine looks with out any kind of plastic cover

Better cool air intake and better exhaust is all I need

Love it all! The only thing I don't understand why Mazda sells a car in anything other than their soul red.

Aside from your boring news anchor sounding voice overs, this is a good review.

Great review! Would you say this was more fun than the Hyundai Veloster N ?

I love this beautiful car. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

What would you say is one of the best commuter/sports car at a fair price? so far I'm kind of set on the MX 5

Hey man, nice interview! May I know how tall are you?

Yes I agree no turbo if they had hp keep na turbo doesn’t fit the lively nature of the car

No lumbar support?

You seem to be fitting pretty well in the car, how tall are you?

i love mazda

i am thinking to buy this as my first car, any thoughts? Cheers A.L

I'm 6,1. Gonna be close

It's more fun to drive a slow car fast than to drive a fast car slow.

does the sport option have the automatic roof as well?

Circular rear brake lenses look odd on this car.

I’d buy that for a dollar 😂

Did I miss something? I thought he said this car was gray. It sure looks blue to me.

I am on the fence about this car. I love small cars and now I am driving a Mini Cooper S. Cannot decide if I want a small car again or something like the Kia Stinger. My last car before the Mini was a Lexus GS.

Great car. Don't hold the gearshift - it's directly attached into the transmission and that movement you feel could bend a shift fork.

Thank you for sub thai

15:47 road kill?

The auto industry has failed room size for tall people

your narrator voice sounds as if you're 2 different people

My 2008 Saturn Sky Redline is still better.

Cheap every where. No spare tire, just call the tow truck every time. Can't adjust the back rest on the seats. Tiny trunk space, but you can put a six pack of Pepsi in there. Not much space for anything in the car, and a big price. This car would be ok for $15k but $35k , you can get a lot more somewhere else.
