THE HISTORY OF THE MAZDA MX-5 MIATA NA | On Board 

"We have the star of the show, you have the star of the market". Simply brilliant.

Oh my god. I can't imagine how much time and preparation went into making this video. This is awesome

As an NA6 owner, I was tearing up in the last 5 minutes. That car has so much heart. 💙

I clicked on this video (it was a link on a forum) expecting the usual 10 minute video covering all the already known and said stuff... but you took it one step above the rest in details, narration and editing! This is a 1 hour documentary any passionate owner (and even non-owners) should watch. You've earned a sub. Thank you!

Didn't realize this was an hour long until I was a half hour in! This video was extremely well done keep up the good work it will surely pay off.

In Germany the car was so sought after, dealerships imported Miatas (even in 89) individually, with a huge mark-up. Even today, a lot of MX5 NAs are Miatas.

never forget: M-iata I-s A-lways T-he A-nswer

You brought me to tears at the end - makes me hug and appreciate my NA every day - fantastic documentary of the NA Miata.

As the owner of a 1990 registered MX5, i found your programme enthralling. My car has 70,000 miles on the clock, has a mega rare, professionally fitted towbar, detachable hardtop, chrome roll over bar and a stainless steel boot rack. It was undersealed from new in Japan and the panels are lazer straight and totally rust free. A respray is needed and i'm saving up a little every week from my pension, i'm 75, but when i go out in this superb little driver, i'm 35 all over again. I live in Deal, Kent, which is a coastal town and summer cruising is wonderful, just me and my dog, superb...

My 93 supercharged Miata with 100k, best car i've ever driven :)

Im not a car guy AT ALL this auto played after a random video i was watching but i still watched a decent chunk of this and can appreciate the effort and skill used in this well done sir.

This was a tremendous documentary and the amount of work and research is astounding. It deserves 100x the amount of views it currently has!

You sir are amazing. This is the best and most informative Mazda Miata video I’ve ever watched. It is simply top-notch editing and narration.

Another hour well spent, love the time and effort you put into these videos.

What a history of such a unique and special car, I'm so excited to get one for my first.

Absolutely one of the most outstanding videos on the MX-5 or on any vehicle I have seen on RU-vid. About a year ago I became the proud owner of one of these beautiful little cars, it is exactly what I hoped it would be, I love it. Thank you!

You should do in depth videos about all of the generations of the Miata.

normally i don't comment on videos. This video is perfect. The amount of correct detail is just.. woah! I've learned allot even though I'm restoring and extensively modifying one. With this amount of quality and detail I'm sure you'll be one of the bigger youtubers. Make these kind of videos on every topic you're interested in and i'm sure you'll succeed!!!

this video deserves more views

He should make a video on all special editions they are different each.

Why is this video not more popular. Amazing quality and loved watching. You sir need to keep doing these.

1994 Miata M-Edition owner here and it's a very fun car. love it :)

After 25 yrs salivating over a friend's yellow Mx5, I am now a proud owner of a NA8C. Better late than never.

Amazingly detailed video, makes me that much more proud to drive a NA Miata

I would like to mark it here, the best Miata video on RU-vid, with my 1990 NA Miata blue I got from one of my best friends in the middle of 2021. I will enjoy this beautiful car with all of you after 31 years since she came to this world, with 1M+ younger sisters!

As a Miata ND owner, I now have a greater appreciation for my car - well done 👏

That was beautiful tbh I didn't expect a miata video to leave me feeling emotional

I watch this video every few weeks. This is the most amazing NA documentary. If you ever set up a Patreon, I will be the first to sign up. You've spent so much time and preparation on this (and all of your videos). I cannot express how brilliant your videos are!

BRAVO! Simply put, you created one of the best Mx-5 videos of all time. Thank you!

I watched this 3 times and sent it to everyone in my Miata friend group. This is one of the most fantastic automotive videos I've ever seen - and the effort involved in producing it is evident, superb job. Cheers!

Fantastic video, thank you. And if you are able to talk about the special editions, I would love that too.

Für uns ist der MX 5 NC Bauj. 7/2014 der allerschönste mit Erinnerungen an 1960 MGA und seine weiblichen Rundungen ....es kann weitergehen , nun mit zuverlässiger TECHNIK made in JAPAN !..........thank,s all ......oo

After watching this, I'm surprised by the amount of attention this channel has! You deserve much, much more; and the amount of work and dedication here shows that.

This is hands down the best Miata video I have ever seen. This is absolutely brilliant.

No dislikes. Exactly how it should be. Simply amazing work sir. Aloha from Hawaii!

The Best video I’ve ever seen ever! Thank you so much for it! Feel so proud and happy to be a part of the MX5 Community

This video should be more popular, it clearly has a lot of time and research put into it. Respect.

Beautifully put together video, both narratively and visually. It's the perfect love letter to the NA. Transforms this model from just another car you see on the road to an icon representing a piece of automotive history.

The most comprehensive tribute to the Mazda Miata MX5. Thank you

I'd love to see all the special editions!

There are facts I would like you to know. There is a Mazda MX-5 Miata NA called "Legendary Roadster" in Japan. Reservation started at Eunos stores nationwide in 1997. It is a rare "Mazdaspeed C spec" with less than 5 units in the world. I am one of the owners.

Amazingly detailed and well researched. Thanks for all the hard work!

Learned so much miata history even after owning and obsessing over miatas the last 6 years. Appreciating miatas even more now if even possible. Amazing video!

Such an underrated channel. It's a crime you don't have more subs!

This is absolutely brilliant!

Brilliantly researched, narrated and executed. I have now watched this twice and likely to watch it again in the future. The amount of work in pulling this together isn’t lost on me. Well done!!

I had a 1991 Miata when I was a kid ... 1 year ago I bought the new ND RF version ... this video was so much fun to watch. Thank you so much for making it ... super entertaining!

As an na owner this was awesome

This needs way more views! amazing efforts for an hour long video. As an NA owner, I wholeheartedly approve. I've had a smile on my face the entire time and i'm only 15 minutes in!

I never saw this come up in my feed before. But I watched it from beginning to end. Thanks for confirming what I've always know about my 1990 NA. It's a special car. You see mine is painted in the design studio in California test colors of late 1989. Namely the Seafoam green. A little more special it has a Jackson racing MK1 SC under the bonnet (hood). I simply love this little roadster. And I have a few to compare it to. This car truly has brought back the roadster and FUN cars to the marketplace. Now 30+ years it's more significant then some others you might see at car shows even if it gets little respect from some in attendance. Yes the answer always is M I A T A

Really good video with a lot of work :D

Amazing video! Congrats! did not fast foward a second!

We definitely want the Special Edition video (but in the video it looks like you listed a few concept cars among them).

RU-vid is usually cited as Hell's rabbit hole, but sometimes it's heart-warming to see extensive & well-made videos like this. It really was a pleasure

Yesterday came across your channel. I wanted to know more about this roadster. WoW, thank you so much for your time to make this film. I am picking up a 2008 NC at the Mazda dealer today!! I am proud to ride this incredible Mazda with a rich history. Here in The Netherlands it is going to be a joy to ride after selling my Harley Davidson Fatboy also with a rich history!! Keep us enthousiats with your experience to ride these MX-5 Roadsters. Fun!!

I've had 5 of them. Love them. They just make you smile ☺️

Grade A content earned a sub. keep up the good work.

23:36 Learned something new about the MX-5. That's freaking genius 🤯🤯

So informative, I was transfixed for the whole hour! I never realised that there were so many special editions and by the same token have wondered why certain NA's fetched such a price; now I know. I have a 2002 MX-5 Mk 2.5 1.8 sport, a joy to drive and own. It's nice to understand fully it's pedigree. Thank you.

This is one of the best videos I have watched on Miatas or even in general. I really hope your channel gets massive as this video shows how much effort you put into your videos. It is very well made. Well done.

The amount of effort that went into this one video deserves 8 thumbs up from everyone that watches.

Such a well researched and excellently produced video. I rarely comment on things, but such a good watch, an hour flew by. I'd love to see the special editions video ( the special s to be specific). Keep up the awesome work buddy. Cheers.

Bob was the answer 😁

So please more video about the special edition...

Had a `89 Miata in Germany ( no 3. brake light, no lever to open the bonnet ), than a NB 10.Anni and now a ND 2.0. Also still have my trusted RX7 FC Turbo ... Great Video !

I have watched and rewatched this video. Absolutely award worthy writing and production 👑

Awesome video, I live in Northern Ireland so happy to help with your forthcoming trip.

this is one hell of a video. i cant fathom the fact there's over 200 miatas for sale in greece, where i live, but im going to attempt to buy one as my first car this summer and i truly hope i can convince my dad , who does not care about cars whatsoever. I'll make sure to show him this video as to why i'd want one. very well done job mate, i expected you to be much bigger than what you are.

Miata special editions please!

Best miata video I have seen in my life.

Still got mine 25 years on . Lots of smiles .

Another really cool video mate. Cant believe you only have 10k subs. It would be really nice to see a video on the MG cars like the 2000's MG tf.

Coming from a litre bike enthusiast , my mx5 changed my life, smiles per gallon❤️

I own a 94 and in a way I'm surprised the Miata even made it to production. Mazda made the RX7 at the time, had competition (British roadsters, Alfas), the fox body Mustang (I own a 91) could be had with a manual in coupe, hatch and convertible configurations and the MR2 nailed the baby Ferrari mid engine RWD layout/look. The Mercury Capri and eventually the Ford Probe, which was originally pitched to replace the RWDnMustang, completed the FWD front engine idea, and despite the niche market it sold like hotcakes and thank goodness Mazda did their market research and continues to produce the Miata.

I have my Na in Brazil for about 15 years now. I read many books and even went to 3 laguna seca anniversary events and track days. Have also made some mods and keep learning all this time about the Miata and most off all, driving it. And I can tell that this video is just Great. Congrats !!👍

This is Art 🖼 I can appreciate you taking the time to make this video, it probably took a really long time and hours and hours of research and editing time. You are really talented my friend. Thank you!

Best by far... video re the background and history of the Miata I've ever seen. Bully. Great job and thank you!

I would be very interested in an all limited edition episode. Especially if it’s done as good as this one. Cheers.

Dude, this was awesome!!

tell me why i cried 3 times during this video

After 18 years of ownership of various miatas, I didn't know all the details you provided for in this awesome video! I had 2 1992 sunburst yellow miatas and neved knew that is was originally a white car with a coat of sunburst yellow oversprayed over the white paint! I always thought it was a 3 coat yellow paint! I also ignored that the original color on white cars had a clear coat sealing it :O

Such quality content - thanks for making this

i own an NA and its the best car ive ever driven, allways puts a smile on my face.

Beautifully done. Thank you for this!

Love this look back into history 👏👏👏

This is wonderful work, thank you for the time and efforts you put into this.

Waouh ! Super bien réalisé ! Quel travail !!

i love this video and the miata, thank you so much for making this

Graham, I have owned an Mx5 Eunos roadster for the last 15 years and can honestly say that I have learned more in the last hour watching your presentation than I would have thought possible ! It really is the only car I have owned ,that makes me smile every time I drive it. I have jokingly referred to her as a timeless classic when chatting to my 'petrol head ' mates but from now on I will feel proud and grateful for the heritage and sheer class of what I have driven for all these years. Once again Graham - thanks mate 👍.

Simply brilliant!

Jeez. You put a lot of work into it - and a lot of printer ink and paper too. As a videographer myself, I know how much scripting, writing and re-recording it took. Great job! Thank you! You have a new subscriber and a fan!

Spectacular presentation, thank you for the effort!

this is unreal, thank you.

This was fascinating to watch. Phenomenal job!

One of, if not, THE best video on the NA. You made me realize how passionate I am about this model when at the last 5 or something minutes I was really feeling moved and tearing up. Exceptional film, I really hope to get one for myself one day!

Brilliant. Thanks for producing this Brilliant vlog. Well done.

As an MX-5 NB owner, thanks for the video.

A very well researched and presented video !!!

Absolutely fantastic video, well done.

Great video! Instructive and fun.
