This 2013 Mazda MX-5 Miata (NC) Is A Simple Delight. 

It’s a Mazda engine that ford use and they call it a Durotech

A ford engine built in hiroshima? hahahaha

It is a Mazda MZR engine. Ford called it Duratec, but it is originally made by Mazda.

I'd take an ND

I love my 2012 NC Special Edition!

2012 NC2 GT, MT 6 speed, with lightened flywheel, MiesterR coliovers, and FM Kogeki wheels. It's the best driver's car I have ever owned. Not even my stage 2 WRX made me feel this way. The Miata is a telepathic experience, at any speed.

Agree! I've never seen a sales pitch this good. He really loves this car, and probably sold it the same day. I've known that feeling since 1/04/2024.

If you drive a manual long enough it becomes natural and you dont even think about shifting.

When I think about it when shifting, that's when I fuck up 🤣 just comes naturally in Europe

Why don't you take a bus ride then xD

"Clutchless manual" you i.d.i.o.t. What you have is an automatic.

Nice! I have the same 2010 with automatic paddle, shift. Do you have the issue when you lock and unlcok the hazard lights don't flash? Trying to get it to work, not happening.

I agree, with you. Not even a Teleportation Device, public or private at home Box, is compatible. All the best Shaun (from the past)

If you live in a metropolitan City with traffic congestion is really not much outside to get in the manual. I can cruise at 80 miles an hour on the freeway and get about 30 to the gallon with my automatic

It is really not as difficult as you might think. The clutch pedal is really light, and the shifts are crisp and quick.

@@vlenhoff I don't imagine it to be impossible, but if I'm driving this everyday in city traffic to work, it does more harm than good IMO. Plus, I have paddle shifters, and it's a 6 speed, isn't that basically the same?

@@CoryMck I respect your decision of getting an automatic, and this is in no way a form of criticism. I am glad you are enjoying your roadster! It is never the same level of engagement driving an automatic. In an automatic, you have a butler keeping things in check, which is very nice. Who doesn't want a butler? In a manual you, are in total control of the operation. You govern the machine without the butler suggesting things for you. It is pure joy to shift an MX-5. The clutch is a feather, and the shifts are buttery smooth, and super short. Driving a manual WRX with a heavy clutch for 12 years, I can tell you I have never ever been tired city traffic. I've lived in the cities all my live. The Miata's clutch is so light, there is absolutely no effort when using it. Your body will learn the timing for everything, and you can extract more fun an a bit more power when you use the manual. As we speak, today I am taking delivery of my first Miata: A 2012 PRHT MX-5 GT, 6 speed manual. I can't wait! I am only saying: Don't knock it until you try it. I have never bought an automatic in my entire life, and I have never felt exhausted or annoyed every time I shift. Heavy traffic is annoying, no doubt about that. Shifting my own gears is what I look forward to do, every time I turn the key. Perfect smooth gear changes for every situation. Like an symphony of machine and man dancing in our world. Warning: In a manual, seat adjustment has to be proper, so you don't hurt your knee. Never fully extend your leg to push the clutch. There must be a slight arc on your leg, when fully extended. I have heard comments in the past about the clutch hurting your knee, or making you tired. Much like bicycles, if you don't do it properly it could hurt you in the long run, or make you unnecessarily tired.

@@vlenhoff I appreciate the effort that you put into explaining it, but as someone who has never driven manual myself, I still don't see how linear gear shift with paddle shifters is really any different. Every explanation involves some analogy that might make sense if I had experience, but is there any palpable difference in experience? Because in manual mode, it only shifts gears down when I'm breaking, other than that, you have to tell the car to shift up, or you'll remain in first gear. So I can still rev high and change the gear, it's just easier for me and I don't have to worry about a third pedal or starting, and I have to go through gears linearly.

@@CoryMck Again, how can you know you won't like it, if you have never tried it?

NC MIATA MX 5, surpasses Porsche for reliability!

Yeah!! Kind of!!

With hugely better reliability, but without snob appeal.

I'm buying one next week. It's what fits for me because I'm going to use it for work and I want my wife to be able to drive it. Going to be fun!

Dkimbrough83 the automatic is still pretty fun and you can drive it in traffic easier

@@jaimer6354 when you love a manual, even shifting in traffic is not a problem. Traffic is annoying, don't blame the machine.

Matthew Howell the Camry is literally the anti-car. It’s everything wrong with automobiles.

@@benedictdonald4338 I agree I've owned both the MX-5 was fun the Camry was just practical

You don’t have a manual 🕹 car now- do you ?

Same
