I had one of these with the 1.5 last year. Honestly think it's the best car ever made. Just enough power to get the job done without emptying the fuel tank. Always made me smile whether i was washing it or driving it. Perfect size for Scottish roads too.

Miata is always the answer. I love my nd2 driving in the Rockies

Watching this review brought back great memories of my '92 Miata. That still is the best car I have ever driven in my life. Makes me want another one!

Bought my 4th MX5 last year. My 1st new one! Touring RF as we head into retirement wanted fun & reliable.

I owned a 2002 Miata for 10 years and reluctantly sold it when I moved into an apartment without a garage. Absolutely the most fun per dollar out there. This video makes me miss my little go-cart. Thanks!

This is a great car, provided you know what you are getting in to. It doesn't have a ton of power, it doesn't have a ton of storage space. As long as you go in there knowing that and don't prioritize those things, you'll love it. It's light, nimble, reliable and won't break the bank buying it or driving it. If you're looking for a fun little car to put a smile on your face every day you drive it, Mazda made this just for you.

Though never having driven a Miata, I have drooled over several and simply love the car. At 72 years young(ish) I would have a Miata in a heart beat. A great review by my favorite automotive journalists. What’s not to like!!??

So comforting to know that Mazda has kept the MX-5 unspoiled by a turbo, and improvements are actually improved, not changed for the sake of change. More flashy colours please Mazda... brighten up these dreary Canadian roads filled with boring, white and gray scale SUVs and cars...

Love an Mx 5, watching from Australia ❤

Great review of a great car! Love the Miata, but that grey colour is no match for soul red. Your audio was super, given that you were driving a convertible. 👍

This is the car i would buy if i were to retire right now. You don’t need a fast car to enjoy driving. Looking forward to your long term review.

Beautiful cars, I miss my 06. My wife felt scared to ride in because it’s so low, but I enjoyed it in the summer.

I discovered your channel a couple years ago & used your fantastic videos when I was searching for my next vehicle last year. I wound up getting a new Kia Sportage Hybrid and love it! I additionally bought a new MX-5 Miata in Soul Red with the soft top! I’m not wealthy, I just decided to splurge a bit and have a bit of fun with the modest amount of money I received from my parents estate (they both passed in the last couple years). The Mazda is a top down, good weather vehicle & the Kia is my regular vehicle. Thanks for your reviews, content, advice & just being such blissful people who present great stuff. Have a delightful weekend 💞

Another fantastic review. You really bring out the details while adding real enthusiasm, which is probably how you earned a long term tester. Congratulations on that, looking forward to your future videos. You guys are so fun to watch

Looks so fun! Thanks so much for the content. Enjoy the car for the summer and I look forward to hearing more about it. Cheers!

I daily my 2019 manual, my fun little commuter car. Incredible gas mileage is an added bonus.

Great video as always. With your enthusiasm you convince anybody!

Rented an early model years ago for an anniversary week end and loved it then. Drive the loaner this summer and then buy it. No brainer. Put it away for the winter and have a ball in spring '25. You two never disappoint!

Andrea could not stop smiling.. Great review and fun! Enjoy the Summer!

My recollection was you guys loved the 2023. You had no problems with the ride or the dynamics. I own a 2023 GT RF and just drove the new one. I found the steering TO BE HEAVIER, not as light and the suspension was stiffer, more road feel. Overall I liked the 2023 as much or maybe better. Honestly I could not feel or see any difference in the new car that would make it better to drive, the older versions were just fine!.

OMG you guys are so lucky. Really looking forward to these up coming road trips. Keep up the good work.

You guys are the best on you tube Thanks for posting!

I like that you guys talk to the engineers and get the story behind why some decisions were made. I noticed that on the macan video too

It was fun seeing you guys in Smoking Tire country. Can't wait for the long-term reviews on the Miata!

Love the enthusiasm, looking forward to the long summer review.

I like what I see, subscribe, and thank you for a great review. I’ve watched several since yesterday and yours is the only one showing, putting up the soft top 👍

My favorite review yet!! Great job guys🙌

Great job thanks... very informative and fun.

Looks like a summer of fun coming, lucky guys 😊😊

Can't wait to see your review after having this car for that long. Zack buddy, you definitely owe Andrea a nice night out at her favorite restaurant due to her scoring that Miata for an entire summer! Awesome video like always!

Wow! This is such a beautiful and amazing vehicle! I can't wait to see your update videos. This might be my next purchase.

I love this colour, its refreshing because not everyone wants to stand out with the reddest bright red paint. I wish they would bring back platinum quartz on the MX5.

Thanks for this. Well done.

Great ask!!! Best response!!

Great review as always! I hope there’s room at your place for a fourth vehicle. Never seen Andrea smile so much during a review as in this one.

Hands down the best show in this class. Always great. thanks guys.

Boy that is a stunner. Love that I can only take one more person.

I feel the MX5 appeals to all ages, with its timeless design. Other OEMs go for that gaming PC/boy racer look with red and yellow trim... The GLI for instance, would be so much better without the red accents. Congrats to Mazda for making a pure drivers car 2024! 💙

I had a 2007 Miata NC in Mica Red with a Black Convertible top for a few years as a third car-I loved it! It was the most fun you can have in a car with your pants on! Ha! However, on today's Southern California roads with so much traffic, it sometimes scared me. It is similar to other small sports cars. People just don't see them. But, I will say, I do miss that car. Mazda certainly has done something very right with the Miata in each generation. Their engines are bulletproof, and the car itself is so well put together. You can beat those things to death and they'll still keep running! I do miss my Miata at times. Great video!

So few cars have stick now, love it !!

That is great they heard you and are giving you one for the summer, perfect for a weekend in the Okanagan!

looking forward to your long term test information, always thought this was a great little sports car as well, have fun

Great review. Had mine now for two weeks. A massive thanks to Mazda for keeping it real.

Not only is an MX5 a blast to drive, it's also one of the most reliable and economical vehicles one can buy. Plus, it looks great too. Perfect!

I have a 2020 MX-5, fun car. Just bells and whistles on the new ones, no real difference (although the screen is nice). But the new ones are also $4K more than I paid in 2019 for the same model. Lot of money for a bigger screen, no thanks. Have fun!

Great video once again you two. Fantastic ride, I own a 2017 Fiat 124 Spider, Zac, you've mentioned time and time again, if have never experienced this car do yourself a favour, take one out, they are so much fun.

Uh oh that's on Andreas bucket list now. Zack gets his watches and Andrea gets her Mazda 😊

Great review & Andrea's manual shifts look smooth. Still on the about upgrading to the same 2024 MX-5 I'm driving right now. A 2016 Club soft top with the Brembo / BBS package ( cloth seats ) / PPF front. Modified with a Flying Miata active exhaust / Verus Engineering AOS ( fancy oil catch can ). The asymmetrical differential / new infotainment / extended RPMs / heated seats are what to weigh into a Huge price difference. 😎

Congrats on the long term test drive on the MX-5!!! 👏👏👏 Will you guys consider adding this fun ride to your garage for the weekends?? 😅 Look forward to seeing more other long term test drives from you guys!! Thanks for another great and informative review!! 😉👍

Love it‼️. Awesome review 🙌

I have a 2016 ND1, still love it so much.

I owned a ‘96 Miata, loved it, and haven’t driven one since. My wife and I just bought a ‘24 Mustang GT Premium with the Performance Package so in a way, though both cars are very different, going back to the sports car fun I had in my 20s. I’ll always love the Miata!

Great beautiful fun vehicle! I have never forget one of my old co-worker back in 70’s has similar look of this vehicle and it was fun to ride it. Great show Andrea! 👏🏻👏🏻

very nice, thanks, please make more video once you get the summer car.

Awesome review 😊 guys

Happy Saturday Guys !!, Love to see You Both enjoying the drive test on the Miata, one question have you driven the automatic and compare with the manual, thank you for the content was very informative and enjoy your stay.

Great little car. Nice review. Thanks.

Congrats!

A fun and great car👍. if only I could fit in it lol😞. Great review guys 👍👍

“Look at Andrea drivin Stick😂” Love you crazy kids haha

subscribed and liked just for the MX-5 content, keep it up, really enjoyable ! I'm looking forward to hear how your 'long term' usage of the ND3 works out :-) please post LOTS of videos. One point to keep in mind, people from outside of Candada/US also watch this (like me, I'm in Europe). Thank you.

I daily drove an ND1 for 4 years. Out of 12-14 cars, it was my favorite car I’ve owned. I’ll probably buy a new ND3 within the next year.

What a beautiful car! Had a Mazdaspeed miata in 2004. Miss it everyday since I sold it it in 08

So jealous! I would love to get one for the summer to "long term" test. Have fun!

Hard to beat the fun/$ on these. I had a '15 power retractable hardtop for that summer but my wife found it too cramped so we went back to Boxsters and when she found that still a little small, 911s. But the Miata is a screaming deal for what you get. They really do need to work on inside storage though - a sunglasses case at minimum. Nice review and congrats on the summer ride!

One of my favorite roads! What a blast a Miata on that road must be.

That's really awesome of Matsuda to give you a long-hauler for the Summer!

Go, Andrea shifting like a boss😊

The red one is perfect.

I’m not so sure about the ‘Primer’ grey paint colour. But otherwise… perfect. I fit into that group that believes … ‘M-iata I-s A-lways T-he A-nswer’. That being said, I personally needed a 4-seater (kids or dog)… so I bought a Carrera cabriolet instead. But even with that being said… the Miata is and has always been one of the very best motorcars in almost every way… especially Price! It should be on everyone’s Buy List (especially used!). Thanks for the video.

I daily my nd2 ST(BBS package) in Vancouver and I love it.

Love the look of the Miata and would like to get one someday. Never drove one but they are pretty small. I suppose that is why they are so appealing.

I've loved mine. Good review. I watched one of your other ones as well. I did want to mention that the front center console does have enough room for glasses as does the deep-side in front of the shifter pocket. Either of these should hold a phone or glasses, so two phones, two glasses... mix or match, maybe even four if the glasses and phones aren't too big. :)

Great news about the long term loan from Mazda. Here’s some advice from an owner of a 21. Get extremely thin sunglasses that fit in the arm rest, always have gloves and a hat in the main glove box, and place the air vents on either side of the wheel so they hit your hands on colder nights. By the way, the most fun I have had in a car is sliding my MX5 on snow.

Had a 96 M Edition that was SO MUCH FUN! Needed a larger car, but I miss the Miata terribly!

glasses could go in center console or the little area in front of stick? Soooooo cool you get long-term loaner...we are in early stage of buying our ND3, really excited!

Great review as always!!! I can’t really tell if Andrea is excited about getting to test one out long term over the Summer😂

Great video

Thanks for the enthusiastic, honest review. Love this fun car, plan/hope to buy one. “Soul Red Crystal” is the only interesting color. Mazda should offer other fun color choices. “Aero Grey” blends into the aged asphalt. It’s easy to imagine “Aero Grey” enabling greater instant invisibility in the fog too. In cityscapes, for safety sake, this small car should stand out with bright, loud, fun colors, especially navigating in a sea of SUVs. Mazda could call “Aero Grey” “Concrete Camouflage” or perhaps “Primer Grey”.

Loved mine back in 06, Gray with Brown Leather interior and Brown soft top. Would like to see them make the combination once again

Glad they improved the steering and the infotainment system. I am turning in my 2023 MX-5 GT next year for a 2025 MX-5.

I hope you review the RF as well! I want to get one since raincouver doesn't disappoint

Cozy 🧐. I’d say small/tight maybe. Owning a Miata is a Labour of Love !

Why do they under sell the gas mileage? I have 2021 and I rip through the gears on the back roads and do 80-85 on the highway and I'm averaging 35 mpg. You'll see when you have it long term there is no way to get 26 mpg.

Somehow these get me more excited that big power muscle or supercars. It just looks so much fun! Hope to own one someday. Yay for your long term test, wonder how often Andrea will pick it over the GTI.

Bought a base model ‘24 a few weeks ago as a toy, so much fun to drive. People constantly commenting on how great it looks.

We owned three Miatas in our mid-life years and the only regret we had was when we traded in the last of the series. They are wonderful for get-away weekends and add a little fun on the drive to the daily grind.

Oh my god. If going on a road trip with Miata, that’s gonna be awesome!!!!!

The MX5 is such a blast to drive. I just sold my 2020 RF in Deep soul red crystal. I ordered a new 2024 2.0 RF in Deep Crystal Blue. Looking so much forward having it.

Waiting for the next generation. In the meantime, I am enjoying my 2007 power retractable hard top MX 5

Mazda is the only remaining car maker I truly respect for the thought they put into making every model they produce a "driver's car" - for a sub-Porsche price - along with sleek, gimmick-free exterior designs. 'Looking forward to your future Miata reviews - you fun-loving bums!

Awesome car. Have fun doing some road trips in it 😊

Amazing review..😍 btw, you go all the time with him,, so this summer i want to join you Andrea while you have this car for long term review.. 😂😂 Leave him home 😛😂

Is in a class of its own. Only fun, affordable little sports car available. If you are driving it in Vancouver you will probably need the roof up most of the time ( because it rains so much ) 😂

Only new car I am actually interested in ! I just bought a 1993 Miata with a V8 . I absolutely love it .

Mazda picked some of the most boring colors for such a fun car. Grey's and whites and dirt colors. This car should have colors that pop. Even Toyota trucks offer Orange. We are 10 years into the soul red, how about something else? Artisan red from the CX90? British racing green? Yellow? Orange? Medium metallic blue that doesn’t look black? Come on Mazda!

Andrea is working the stick like a champ

Thanks!

You look like you're having an absolute driving that car!

Please roadtrip the summer Miata up through the Okanagan. There are some amazing roads to enjoy there!
