Mazda Miata Documentary | EP1 Why The Miata Exists 

Same with my neon canyons handles like a dream

Too bad it looks like poop

Love mine as well.

@Damian Chiliński The Miata RF might be the best looking Miata of all time

Did you ask him why they made it so under powered

@@behindthen0thing525 that answer is in the comment.

@@Technoflicks he could've made it more powerful without making it more expensive

@@behindthen0thing525 /Wooosh

@@behindthen0thing525 read the comment again

so it has 4 EV motors powering each wheel and it's self driving?

@@aceofspades6667 Sounds like it has a flux capacitor as well :)

@@daveprice4982 nope just the future of automobiles.. all tech no balls

NE is the fiat 124. NF is the 124 Abarth. The next miata probably won't be an N platform if they make one. It'll probably share with the new sports car they're developing like the NC did with the RX8.

@@aceofspades6667 Eww hell no. Dual Core single package Electric Motor to the Rear Wheel with a 4 Speed Manual Shifter. That's the dream NE Electric Miata. www.motor1.com/news/380563/ford-mustang-lithium-manual-sema/ - similar drive train swapped into Mustang S550.

One of the best miata centered suspension companies (Xida/949) actually just started making coilovers for the 86.

My best friend has a BRZ and he is so happy that I am getting an ND2 MX-5. We are like brothers. Best friends for nearly 20 years. I love his BRZ but would never get one. He loves the Mx-5 but would never buy one. They are both amazing cars. You have to get which ever one draws in more. They are like brothers, just like my friend and I.

Have owned an FR-S and an NB, your comment is very true. Both cars are very rewarding to drive, and I like to feel I am using more than 50% of the car's ability on a regular basis.

I wish the 86 and Miata came with NA Inline 6's, that revved to 8k RPM. That would be pretty cool

@@93455Driver Whats the biggest differences in your opinion? I had a NB for a long time but never drove a FR.

sweet the '17 RF launch edition with that brown/auburn interior on the machine grey is a sexy combo!

@@aceofspades6667 its a good looking car. Has the black painted roof too. It even came with a torneau watch numbered with the car as its only one of 1000. Its number 460 something. Definitely a keeper. Had to own one previously and applied online to get it. I remember the email saying I had one reserved for me. Only option was auto or manual as it had every bell and whistle for that year.

Be easy on that 17 transmission, they explode

@@Shakshuka69 I heard that it was about 2016 productions. I own 2017 mx5 rf. I love my car but i always feel hesitation about transmission. Can you eleborate your statement? If there are any links to forum pages i will be glad.

@@ddogukanakcay every year they have been improving the transmissions. Currently they are on v5. They strengthened 2nd and 3rd plus improved the synchros. As long as you don't autocross it or drive really hard you should be ok.

M N what state are you in? 🙂

Nora Brown MN = Minnesota. j/k 😄

The older ones bought their first Miata when they were still young. When you're the old guy, you'll understand.

kudos 0000 pretty sure he meant Miata. Long live Miata!

Same here. I just brought my 2020 RF home yesterday. I’m in love. Haven’t been this excited about a car in a long time and I’ve had many.

@@kogrady2409 congratulations on that! I just got a club .

Driving is so easy it has become more dangerous. Manual keeps one focused on the road. If self-driving vehicles havn't matured by the time my kids start driving, they getting a stick shift lmao. "daaaaaaaaaahhhhaaaaad wtf is this" XD

@@oculophilia918 The ND's continue to have terrible manual tranny reliability in 2nd/3rd gear keep getting grenade'd even into V5. Other than that the current gen has been bullet proof.

Can I see some pics of both cars? Keeping cars for 20+ years isn't common. They must be mint.

@@urbi3006 Click my icon and click video's and scroll down a whole bunch. You can then take a ride in my RX-7 at Raceway Park in Englishtown N.J.

the bmw z - series should fit tall people i think. but those cost more:(

Look into lowering brackets for the driver's seat.

6'3 NA fits me

I am 3'2 this car is too big for me

@@proof4469 midget

Ace of Spades I know someone who bought a 2019 Sport for 23k new recently. I bought one for 26k early in the year. Best value in new sports cars. If you’re cool with used, these get cheap fast, and plenty of 19’s have already been traded in.

@@thatoneotherotherguy I require at least the Club trim non Brembo/Recaro/BBS package or the Grand Touring GTS package. An LSD is necessary for proper handling.. I'm not impressed with Bilstein dampers so would prefer the Fox setup from Flyin Miata and will go aftermarket for Wildwood brakes and better wheels. Finally the ND2 powertrain is a 100% must have for me as the ND1's didn't rev nearly as high which for me is so much more fun.

@@aceofspades6667 : You have it exactly figured out, except I would advise that you buy NOW, and not wait a few months. Inventory will be low of the most desirable model -- which happens to be the one you want. Mazda is offering 0.9% financing for 60 months and no payments for the first three months right now -- no telling when they will change that. No payments for three months -- that's like another $1,000 off, on top of the below-market interest rate. In effect, Mazda is paying you now to not wait the two or three months you're thinking of waiting. Also, dealers are already taking around $4K off the $30K MSRP. Dealers could go lower, but not much lower. If there's a Mazda in your household (even if someone else owns or leases it), you get another $750 off. Search out current inventory online and make a deal for what you want now, before it's gone.

Like you I lusted for an ND and bought a Sport model new for $24,800. So there’s no need to wait. If you don’t drive it competitively you don’t need the Club. And hold off before modifying it. An ND2 Sport will deliver all the real-world driving fun you could ask for.

@@johntechwriter Thanks John and I plan on driving the teets off of it... I live in Utah so plenty of mountains to pound around and we have a nice selection of auto-x and the miller motor sports racetrack within 30 min. IMO the LSD is a must for driving at 8/10+. Glad you're happy with yours as $24.8k is a killer deal.

What's not to like. They're perfect

Good luck brother. Keep your head up. He's always here trust me. He didn't go anywhere...

thats what im thinking

If you took a look at the photos of the Miata club in my state you’d think you were looking at a hospice center. I just got an ND2 but I feel like I’d age 30 years if I ever went to one of their events.

ToxicHorsePucky I was thinking the same. Looks like the same demographic as Harley riders.

I would LOVE to buy an old miata and convert to electric.

It said ep1. I think (hope) there will be a follow up with the younger fans not just the “wine and cheesers!”
