Amazing, comprehensive review - keep it up! I had a 1.5 soft top for a few days and although not especially powerful, never felt the need for more grunt! The 1.5 sounds sweater IMHO too.
Thanks Simon! Yeah, only if you are pushing it is when you’ll really notice the 2.0 has more power, just nipping about I found them both quite similar but prefer the cheaper price and lower running costs of the 1.5.
Hey Sam, I hadn't realised that you tested the 2024 model year of the MX 5. This time I paid particular attention to your review, as the ND has been my companion for many years. (I also used to ride the NC). And what can I say: you have presented a coherent picture of the new ND, a big compliment to you! I particularly liked the timestamp 12:40 and 12:55: these moments put a hearty grin and smile on your face - just like every MX 5 driver knows, no matter what generation of car or driver. These moments are exactly what makes an MX 5 what it is: pure driving pleasure and joy, every day anew. You know I like your rewievs. But don't respond to (stupid) comments about your youthful appearance! You have absolutely no need for that, because you are professional in what you do. you have absolutely no need to justify yourself, quite the opposite. Maybe one day you'll be able to treat yourself to an MX 5 so that you can enjoy the pure driving pleasure experience.
@@NanescuRadu1 Exactly! You should try if you fit. I'm 6'3" and I bought one this week. The soft top with Recaro seats. Soft top gives you a bit more headroom.
@@larsgbg2304 I'm also 6'3". I'm thinking of buying one next year, but the RF version. Unlike most, my legs are much longer than most men at the same height. I'm a little concerned about whether I will fit into it. I guess it back to the show room to try the size again.
LHD version gives a place to rest your foot and the gear lever not obstructed by the brake.Small things that would annoy me so happy I have Spanish version where they are rare.
