@dlg54858 ай бұрын
If done right, I don't think electrification will ruin the Miata at all. Personally, I plan to buy a ND3, but I can see why some people are excited about the NE. Solid state batteries are right around the corner and they're more energy dense than lithium while weighing far less. Electric motors are also getting quite small and light. I suspect the NE will be a mild hybrid system and still weight less than 2600 pounds. If it gets a significant power bump as I suspect it will, and keeps the manual, I'd consider that a success.

The ND miata already had the LSD in the club package and the Grand Touring if you optioned in the Recaro Package. Compared to my nd2 here are the changes I’ve noticed. Obviously headlight and taillights, bigger screen and they removed the lower day time running lights and put some type of duct. Maybe brake ducts. Also the reverse taillights are now smaller to allow for another duct. Other than that it’s the same. I really wish they would’ve made a mazdaspeed version or just added a turbo to the “nd3”.

I have the 2021 RF Grand Touring and i'm pulling my hair out in excitement seeing Mazda finally modernizing a few details, ie. that outdated infotainment system to the faster and more up-to-date one like the rest of their current lineup.

And remember Jen's it's much more fun driving a slow car fast than a fast car slow. That's the real beauty of the Miata.

Once again I have to defend the headlights, I have a 2017. In my opinion, they look way better than the redesign which turns those DRLs into fake air inlets. They also make the car more visible which is very important in these little cars. With the parking lights and DRLs on, I would argue it looks way more striking than this redesign. Also, I tried both the RF and Soft Top before going with the soft top and I would definitely recommend the soft top if you want the full fun and happy experience. The RF with the roof up has this bubble type look to it with the proportions, whereas the soft top looks better because the top portion isn't as large as the RF. And then when you put the soft top down it just feels so simple and awesome, you could throw it up and down all you want, whereas in the RF I would worry about those complicated mechanisms and they take so much longer and add I think 200 pounds! Soft top is the way to go, plus you can really look all around you and feel like in a true open convertable. The RF does have a slight exotic look when the top is down, I will give it that.
