Yeah, wasn't really fair to have a 1.6 NB. The NB Mazdaspeed solves the girly look and the lack of power with a factory turbo. Best looking out of all of them too, except maybe the front end of the ND (don't much like the rear end of the ND).

Owning an NC I can say if your steering gets heavy when pushing there is something wrong with the car. Also the electric roof is an option. The default is a manual roof with only 1 latch (centre), so its actually faster then the previous models.

Interesting that if you had chosen the 1.8 NB you can get them standard with 140hp and 1025kg due to lack of ABS etc. Also depends on which final drive/ diff you had in each model, you could have had a really lazy 3.63, or the 4.10 even the 4.3 on the earlier ones. The difference between an overweight NB with the wrong gearing is huge compared to the lightest weight model with a better final drive, let alone modifications. I know it was a bit of fun, but there are too many variables on the models to do a fair comparison :) More NBs left for me I guess.

Well this is a very unfair comparison for the NB. Here in the US, a stock NB2 LS/SE would destroy any stock NA, even the 1.8 M edition. You got more brace bar down in the bottom, a strut bar, lower ride height with firmer suspension, vvt for longer peak torque, factory tubular header, bigger brakes, more power. Don't get me wrong NA is cool, I had a 1.6 and it's fun to drive, and definitely an icon. But the performance isn't even close compared to my current 02 NB LS w/ 6 speed.

I'm partial to the NA I think they're the best looking of all the miata/MX-5s. That being said, I only had 2 problems with the NB. The first was a minor thing. The door handles on the NB were hideous looking. It's like Mazda gave up on styling and just decided to rummage through their parts bins and found some extra Millenia/626 handles and said ok, on they go. This choice completely messed up the side profile of car. I don't know why they just didn't slighty redesign the nice chrome pulls of the NA. In short the door handles on the NB were way to big in my opinion for such a small car. The other thing I think was wrong eith the NB and also the NC and ND is they feel cheap. The NB felt like a less well built product then the NA. I have a NA personally and have driven a NB. The NB felt cheap to me. I felt like this was more a FORD product as opposed to a mazda product. What I love about my NA is that didn't feel cheaply built. It was the one thing Parent company Ford wasn't intruding on. They had a hand in just about everything else built by Mazda EXCEPT the Miata/MX-5. Then with NB and NC they decided to throw there hands all over them. Other then these 2 things the NB was a decent car.

Very bias against the NB why not use the 1.8? If you had the scores would of been different. The first drag the NA would be last and the last drag (minus the jump start) would of been 3 points to the NB. So the final scores would show: 1st = MK4 - 15points Joint 2nd = MK2 - 9points / MK3 - 9points 4th = MK1 - 7points But obviously this is CarThrottle so the NA can't lose.

I've got the Mk2.5, with the 1.8L SVT motor, the 6-speed and the LSD. The facelift (I think) fixed the weak styling of the original Mk2 with the lower bumper, the 1.8L pulls better and the 6 speed gives you more ratios to choose. The LSD and extra bracing from the factory make it handle really well. I think that, stock, it would stack up quite well - but I've also got a front sway bar on it, and some Potenza RE003s and it's amazing (could do with more power if I had the money, though). It's my favourite model, and I bought it over the cheaper NA and older NCs which were within my price range. Love that ND though. I'd buy it if I had new-car money.

+Jay R Oh yes, I forgot that too. The front ones are vented discs as well. I mean, if they're going to compare a special 2.0L 25th anniversary edition of the _heavy_ Mk3, and even a 1.8L version of the super light Mk1, the least they could do is not compare it with the _shittiest_ 1.6L version of the Mk 2.5. I mean, they don't have to bring in the SE Turbo version, but it's kind of lame when they pick the shittiest version of the one they hate, just so they can hate on it for things that are mostly fixed in other versions.

MK1 Miata used to be often stereotyped with hairdressers during its heyday in the 90s, but still selling very well among all groups of car lovers. Now thanks to the demise of pop-up headlights right before the start of the 2000s era, NA Miata is rapidly becoming a modern classic.

Styling is of course subjective but I couldn't have disagreed more. The current Miata has been universally praised for its styling while the NC was panned. To my eyes the NB is much better looking then the NA and it had a host of improvements over the NA, including, in America anyway, a more powerful engine and a 0-60 in the mid sevens. The stock NA could never match that. I even showed this video to about a dozen guys who all said the NB looked better then the NA. But then we find out that the NA is your personal car, perhaps a little bias was coming through, LOL. That's ok, I might be a little biased toward the NB as I am currently on the hunt for one.

The NC is where it's at. They're impeccably reliable. Mine reached 97,000 miles yesterday, but it still runs like it were brand new. I checked out an ND out of curiosity and the ND is really quite disappointing. You don't get a glove box or any cup holders. You get a display unit and Bluetooth connectivity, but there's no shortage of aftermarket options to put stuff like that in an NC or earlier model still. Besides, I carry around a giant monitor anyway because my phone is a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. Some variations of the NC, including mine, have an iPod connector. All in all, the NC is the perfect MX-5. They don't make 'em like they used to.

There's also the fact the NC has a 6 speed gearbox that can cope best with any power increase. I think they reverted to the NB gearbox for the ND, but the turbo Fiata needed the NC 'box. [And, unlike the ND, the NC has 4(!) proper cup holders.]

NC had power steering problems? You got a car needing work there then. I had the most sensitive and responsive steering I ever had on a car in my NC1. My ND2 has less road feedback than my NC did by a lot, but the steering is more sensitive. So yeah. That NC needs its steering checked. There should be no lag in response. On a side note, what owner thought to choose that orange color to wrap their grey MX5 in? It's like they knew 30th anniversary would be that exact color.
