Nice review. We all should be very grateful to Mazda. While others have come and gone and EV with I pad for gauges. This car still has real manual with three pedals on the floor, real analog gauges, real hand break, real fuel, still real roadster platform. It’s stayed true. No competition. For the price.
Hi, I made a video about that topic 6 months ago. P1: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-igAG-uhgv3o.htmlsi=FOaqljbzqItIivlN P2: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TFu4OyCAuwk.htmlsi=OMyjcy0XN8wHFVJm
Great video! Was it filmed near "De Brugse Vaart" / Damme? I'm into almost 10 yrs of MX-5 ownership, first 7 yrs NC, last 3 yrs 2017 ND 2.0 GT-M so with Recaro seats, Bilstein etc. Never encountered any problem, but it's a hobby car strictly for when the weather is fine and more importantly I have time (kids and their hobbies...) so it doesn't cover many kms. My insurance (mini omnium, so covering everything except when I do the damage myself) is about 350€/year. But I drive 20+ years without an accident, that helps and it's a 2nd car, not a daily. Fiscally it's a bit more expensive since it's a bigger engine. Over the last 10 years I did all the maintenance myself, it is pretty straightforward. It's a pitty there is no Haynes manual for the ND though, but here is YT your friend. I order my parts at IL Motorsport, all Mazda OEM including their expensive Mazda branded oil which is in fact Mobil 1 as is widely known. To give you an idea, including shipping all the parts + new wipers came at 132€, so the 250€ you paid are not too bad. Wishing for a nice spring / summer for all roadster guys out there!
