The 2024 Mazda MX-5 is an absolute masterpiece 

Got mine a year ago and still do the same.

Do you think a 6’2 person would fit?

I'm 6'4 and fit pretty comfortably in one that I test drove the other day. Hard top model and I had about an inch clearance above my head and between my knees and the dashboard. I'd find one on a lot near you and try it out though because everyone is different

@@bensonchang8657 I thought I was the only one.

Weird

You getting a Club with Brembo/Recaro package?

Ok enjoy your MX5 and forget about Porsche, everyone who owns an MX5 keeps mentioning Porsche a completely different car and segment. I agree that it’s a good car but owner have Porsche stamped in their subconscious mind, enjoy your car.

For real? That's excellent news! You don't need 500 hps to have fun (especially on public roads), so I would buy one too, I think.

Porsche is a man’s car.

It's fun, but my 981 S sounds amazing, handles better and has the right amount of power, 2 boots for weekends away and road trips. It's also built to last and the depreciation is mostly gone. This is a nice fun 3rd car, but you would need to fit in it and I doubt it can handle the luggage required or eat up motorway miles when needed.

How is the paint quality on the front end? This one looks chipped already.

​@@shizzydeep6867 4.500 km, ND 1.5 2024 red soul. I have not had any problems with the paint. I am very careful and do not go at high speed if I have a car near, in front of me. I also reduce speed if a big truck comes towards me on a narrow road...

The entire brand is impeccable with their quality and their design. Prob the best auto maker on the planet 👌

With its straight six and perfect two-row size, the all-new CX 70 is redefining the midsize SUV.

This is known as a “fuselage interior,” inspired by fighter plane design. This design language extends to the exterior in details like the body curving under the rocker panels instead of making a hard break to the car’s underside. Jaguar originated fuselage design. Malcolm Sayer, the designer of the XK-E, previously designed aircraft. He subjected his Jaguar cars to the same wind tunnel aero tuning as the planes he had worked on before.

@@johntechwriter I hope this is not the reason why Mazda doesn’t make cars with enough space in the second row)))) This is what pushes me away from this brand.

que tream compraste y cuanto te costo?

@@MythicOpenJaime They took his left testiculo plus a pile of Euros !

Amen. Manual handbrake, Manual transmission, and an Analog gauge cluster. Other cars are just showpieces. This is the type of car that's all too rare nowadays - 100% made just for the fun experience of driving. Nowadays, aside from this car, the only car I really like that has a similar pure driving experience is the Nissan Skyline GTR R34, and that car is old and hard to find. I hope Mazda never retires the Miata with a manual, and keeps it nice and analog. The only negative for me is the wireless key fob, I prefer traditional keys. And before you say I'm an old man, I'm literally Gen Z lol, but ever since I started driving (first car was a manual) and tried an automatic, it just wasn't the same. Not enough engagement with an automatic, its just plain boring. I like my equipment mechanical, analog, without too many fancy critical electronics. The interior of this car is great too. Very simple, functional, and elegant. Not super futuristic and cluttered like other cars. It manages to be modern and still pure at the same time. Simply amazing. This is the type of car that people who love driving get, even if they can afford one of those expensive supercars, they're all automatic nowadays.

I hear you on the interior colors, I really don't like the typical black interiors, softer colors for me. Cooler to the touch and just looks better to I think.

@@jimquantic Yeah, lighter interiors tend to keep my mood brighter.

Funny though it seems most people want all black

@@jimquantic I think that the Millennials drove the all black kind of look and they also dislike chrome or wood. The market responded to that generation’s tastes.

Club models ONLY come with the Black interiors for the ND. Tan ONLY comes in GT trim in the US. Happy they still make this spell binding roadster.

What are you smoking?

I drove the abarth 124 for one week in the canary islands(tenerife and la palma); some of those drives I will never forget, be it just going back to out hotel, leaving the beach at the sunset, or getting up before first light and cooking the brakes on empty roads around Teide; going down from the La Palma observatory station is also on that list; great little car and that monza exhaust in the tunnels is terrific in the best way possible for such a small engine.

I love the styling of the new 124s, I had a 1978 back in the day. I have a 2020 MX5 Club now, but wouldn't mind having a Fiat either.

Nobody should feel inferior because their transmission is automatic. Mazda is one of the few manufacturers who build their open transmissions, and the Miata 6-speed automatic is superb.

You can equal that experience here by buying the entry-level Sport model at $29k and with the thousands saved over the Club, use the aftermarket to configure your MX-5 to be superior to the Club.

We don’t even have the shark fin on the boot lid in Australia 😂

​@@cptndave1they're not common here anymore either, but I saw an SUV last week with a shark fin on the back with a backup camera in it and it was wild. I've never seen one like that before.

Why not have it right above the licence plate?

@@flolin8766 why no stop picking at pathetic little things and be grateful that Mazda seems to be the only brand still making the affordable real roadster.

@@flolin8766 It is placed exactly there in my 2017 ND

I love the look of the Fiats! That sound from the Abarth is awesome. I would be hard pressed to choose between the MX5 and the Abarth, if the MX5 wasn't such a good deal for me. I used to have a '78 back in the day. My Miata club loves to accept the Fiats as members, something you could consider in your area. Many club members know these cars well.

Bravo, bravo, bravíssimo!!! Você conseguiu resumir TUDO em poucas palavras. Bravo! Quem se importa com velocidade máxima e ter 500cv de potência? Isto só valeria se você fosse correr 50 ou 100 voltas num circuito todos os dias. Quem se importa com 0,5 segundo a mais ou a menos de 0 a 100? Leveza e dinâmica de direção são os pontos-chave de um carro esportivo e...ALÉM DE TUDO, AINDA É ACESSÍVEL! Parabéns pela suas palavras pois elas definitivamente encerram muitas discussões e jogam no lixo muitos comentários de invejosos.

And even if you look at 0 to 60 5.7 for a little 181 horsepower 4 cylinder non turbo car is no slug. A Honda Accord coupe with a mm V6 is 5.5 0 to 60.

Aftermarket fog lights would work well in those slots.

True. My 2019 Sport cost me $24,480 cash. It’s a California car, never parked outside, still cherry with 23,400 miles on the clock. Edmunds estimates a private buyer would expect to pay $23,000 for it.

The rear is styled very similar to a Jaguar F Type from the rear. I liked it from the 1st time I saw it. The now discontinued Fiat 124 Spyder had much different styling even though some of the interior components were shared. Was not a fan of that look. This MX-5 has a more stream lined outside.

Really Should be grateful they still make this true roadster. All the others have come and gone. This one still remains. No competition

I agree. There's no defined beltline, it just slopes downward. It's similar to their Mazda3 hatch, which looked better in previous gens. Having a shoulder defining that line, this car would look amazing.

So do I. Great design. Picking up my new red RF in two weeks!

I'd opt for the more linear response of a supercharger.

Get it, they're even great in winter with winter tires even better if you get one with an LSD. I'm on my fifth one. I had a 626, will never go back to FWD, RWD is much more fun.

I have a ND1 and a 2016 Jaguar F-Type, there is a similarity, especially with the facelifted F-Types with the horizontal headlights.

You’re right, Mazda is VERY unlike the other Japanese manufacturers. For starters, they put the driving experience at the top of their priority list even for their SUVs. Our second car is a CX-5 and it communicates with me in a way no other SUV does. Secondly, all their cars are excellent value. Keep your Miata ten years and in its tenth year it will still be solid and reliable. And you will have gotten out of car payments for a few years. And third, Mazda has tremendous integrity. My entry level Miata Sport was thousands cheaper than the Club, but came equipped with premium Advan Sport tires, selling for $250 each. Every other manufacturer would have installed $100 all-season tires and pocketed the difference. More about integrity: Mazda under-built the early ND’s transmission, causing some early failures. Mazda stood by their owners and swapped out the transmissions no matter the warranty status. Meanwhile, Toyota is refusing to honor warranty claims for their GR86 due to engine failure.

Yeah, my out-of-warranty 3-series was eating me out of house and home. Never again!

@@johntechwriter Im buying a mini cooper JCW today, LoL!! wish me luck😁✌️

He is totally wrong about the steering wheel when he claims that smaller is better. Mazda are using larger diameter steering wheels than before for better on-center feel. The donut style steering wheel in an M3 is looking dated.

Agree entirely. In. The U.K. you can only get AT in the RF. The other option is the Arbarth spider 124 that is based on the Mazda but uses a Fiat 1.4 turbo.

Manual is the purist's preference. Miatas are supposed to emulate the classic British roadsters where driver engagement is more important than convenience. Only the manual offers the LSD, which allows the best performance in the corners.

“Purist” may also mean fixed or rigid thinking, resistant to evolve. Believe me, I have more than enough driver engagement with the auto in manual mode, and not having to let go of the steering wheel in the twisties to shift is wonderful, and safer too. Not having a LSD on the track might be an issue, but so far I’ve not missed it at all on the street.

My friend just got a soft top convertible GT in automatic. I drove it. Used the paddle shifters and the steptronic. Wasn’t impressed. Would never buy this car in auto.

I prefer manuals hundred percent of the time, even in city traffic.

This idea is abandoned for pedestrian safety reason

What are the AC problems? I'm in Florida too and considering a ND Miata

Nice, I had an NC and loved it. Unfortunately totaled, but kept me injury free. I have an ND, now. It rocks, too. I've always thought that the NC style was more retro looking and just as cool looking as the ND.
