I've owned a lot cars, in no particular order, from a 718, C63, S2000, Taycan, Elise, Camry, Bolt and a ND2 MX-5 RF GT . There's just something special about driving the MX-5 that makes me feel like it's a treat when ever I take it out for a drive. It's not as serious and harsh as an Elise and the low end pick up is much more convenient than having to rev out my S2000 every time I want to catch up to traffic. It's not too expensive that I would have to park half a mile away when I go to stores or restaurants and not complicated at all to do my own maintenance on. It's a great car to drive and probably the one that I will end up modding and keeping forever.

The best thing for me about the ND2 is the engine tuning - it's the only car I've driven that feels totally linear. No rev hang, no weird quirks. The transmission rocks too. I drove a GR86 and love the total package but... Keep coming back to the ND2 because the fundamentals are so damn good.

At 6’3 with longer torso/shorter legs I fit fine driving wise, top up is cramped abit.

TheTopher how are the Recaros? I'm getting ready to purchase one but I'm not sure if I'll fit the Racaro's.... I'm 5'11", 230 lbs. Thoughts?

They’re tight seats. I’m 5’9 160 and they’re just right for me if not a touch snug. You allegedly sit a touch lower with the recaros so it’s better for tall people. I’d go regular seats if the height is okay.

Sadly I'm 6'5 and sized out of this car. Would love to drive one although I hear the NC is the best "tall person friendly" Miata

I’m 6’3, I’ve driven the NA and ND. NA was a no go, knees hit the dash. Ive only sat in a NC, never driven, fit was decent. ND with top down fit me since I don’t have super long legs. Top up, my hair brushes against the roof. I think for longer torso/shorter legs dudes under 6’2ish the ND works fine. But anyone above 6’3 with long legs would have to go else where for a convertible.

Orange is my color man … one day! As an owner of an NC SE I will find a way one day! 😁 btw … that exhaust sounds amazing!

For me, a big part of the joy is bang-for-buck related. I have a nice NA, which I like just fine. She is an M-edition, with Konis and a Cobalt exhaust, and a total cost of less than $15K. Is an ND worth 3X as much? Not for me. I like the looks of the Lotus Elan-derived NA at least as much as the more modern-looking ND, so there is little incentive for me to spend more.

Wonderful vid, send info to Goodwin Racing so they can add a link to this vid for anyone looking to buy the Roadersport Race.

I’m surprised this car uses the cheap-looking opaque plastic air blocker. The clear acrylic air blocker, which I thought came with upscale Miatas, looks and works far better. I got mine from the aftermarket.

Kool review, really enjoyed it! If ever possible if you can ever review a Flying Miata, with a V8 in it!

There’s an orange 30th anniversary model that is parked every day on the street near me. I think it had a little dent. I just want to take it and hug it and put into a garage.

How often or how rare is it when you stall. Just a genuine question since you drive a butt load of cars just curious

Would it be worth trading a first gen BRZ for an ND2 soft top? (There’s one of these wjth the recaros listed for 21,700 with 42K miles)

Goodwin Roadstersport ‘Race’ (The ‘race’ is the most aggressive of the different levels of roadstersport exhausts). I have one on my ND1 , its awesome!

Would be nice to see a on the road impression of the Abarth 124. I had my 2018 124 for 2 years now. Driven the Miata also and they feel quite different.

Different in a good way or bad way? They both have their own unique feel but really fun regardless? :)

@@TheJahbrother Felt the power delay with the turbo makes it more fun. Plus the 124 just sounds better with the record Monza. Also, fun turbo noises.
