@@elytus8245 also in Deutschland ist Winter ja sowieso "relativ" haha Aber mit guten Winter Reifen und einiger maßen vorsichtiger Fahrweise (wie mit jedem Auto im Winter) sollte man gut klar kommen. Man muss aber trotzdem im Kopf behalten dass es eben ein sportliches Auto ist! Sicherheit ist leider kompliziert mit dem MX-5. Alt, klein, leicht... und somit im Falle eines Unfalls weniger schützend (ältere Autos sind häufig so, schon allein wegen Sicherheitsstandards zur Herstellungszeit). Und da die Karre einfach was kleiner ist, kann man für andere schlechter sichtbar sein. Demnach sollte man defensiv fahren, wie man es auch in der Fahrschule lernt, nh? Also das sollte alles kein Problem wirkliches Problem werden, aber man sollte bedenken dass der Wagen eher für Freude mit Budget entwickelt wurde. Also muss man allgemein etwas achtsamer sein beim Fahren. Hoffe ich konnte dir weiter helfen!

@@MrPista Ja aber sicher! Besitzt du dieses Auto selber oder woher kommt dein wissen xd?

@@MrPista it only had one owner. I find it on the internet, it was a bit expensive (18.500€) but it like brand new. And the low mileage was worth the price.

@@joeyschmidt7546 I definitly get your point, that's for sure. But someone looking for a nearly immaculate used car is most likely not gonna expect to find something with 5k... So this video is more aimed at the enthusiasts that want to work on their car themselves and can't or don't want to spend too much, you know?

@@MrPista yes i agree with you. i got a super deal on mine from a rich guy in south florida for $6,700 he had 20 super cars and needed the room for another and this was his wifes grocery car basically and had souped it up big time but i got super lucky finding this cash deal and this was before covid happened and he had replaced the timing/water pump and all maintenance records/upgrades. you also want to make sure the timing chain/belt has been replaced at 70k i find on the newer models you will see all of them for sale at 70k ish miles because they are avoiding replacing the maintenance of the timing belt trying to sell it to an unsuspecting buyer who are not educated on german cars, not realizing it costs 4-7k to pay a shop to do it. but for the price the mk1 tt is one of the cheapest entry sports cars. but it needs to have been taken care of at least half way or it can be a nightmare. i have still spent upwards of 10k in maintenance in 5 years and mine never missed a service.

@@timothydowd4180 well, if you ask me, I really think they are a great option! And depending on where you live, 6k should put you into a quite decent one...

@@MrPista thanks. My plan was to use an E39 BMW 5 series as a enthusiast practical daily driver for errands and taking my dog and parents around when needed and then use my MB SL more as a fun weekend sports car. The MB SL is horrid on gasoline and putting miles on it will result in expensive repairs down the line. So i wanted the fuel efficient e39 525i … im not into acceleration or power on a 5 series… my SL has that.

@@timothydowd4180 then it sounds like it matches your need pretty well! And as long as you get yourself a well looked after example in good condition, you should be very happy with a 525i 👍

I couldn't agree more haha

Well sure, you're right... But the Words 'alpina' and 'perfect condition' make any car expensive 😂 And to be honest, even though I like the alpina bits, I don't think it's worth paying 5x what a 740i or 750i would be for such little difference 👀 Ok, maybe to buy it as a collectable... But that's another Story haha

@@MrPista hell no. 6 speed manual. E90 335 x drive, e53 v8 and f15 50i. The e90 was fast as shit but kinda tight inside. The e53 was a good suv but the ergos bugged me and the auto trans took a shit. The f15 is decent but has a lot of rattles.

Hey, I have nothing but love for all the my one TT lovers/users/drivers for if it was not for your interest and enthusiasm Audi would never have made the mk2 or definitely not the mk3! 💜😜

@@cozmikw 😂 Might be the case But the weird Thing is that I actually know barely anything about the mk3 I think🤔 Don't know how they drive, Power specs etc becauese I never actually looked deeper into them... Only ever really looked into the mk1 (becauese it's the only one I could afford lol)

Very clear and sensible conclusion hahah And I agree😂

That's a nice car to mention here and I actually really like them. Though they are rather reliable overall, especially the air ride is pretty expensive to fix if it Breaks... And I'm still having mixed opinions on the Front end and headlight Design. Rear, side and interior Look great, but the Front Looks a bit odd

Interesting, they surely are a cool first car! But like damn, that's a lot in insurance💀I mean 2k a year is a heavy pricetag to carry... But how much did you actually pay for the car itself? I mean I'd guess like 5k maybe?

@@MrPista i was highkey expecting like $300 for insurance, i paid $3.5k

@@spoopydragon holy shit dude You got a fair Deal on the car but you're gonna pay more in insurance than the car is worth :/ And that doesn't Sound too nice I Fell like Couldn't you get into like your parents insurance policy or sth? At least here in Germany, this can save you a ton of money...

@@MrPista that's in my parent's insurance policy 💀 i'm not too bothered by it, paying a lot in insurance is kinda just how it is

@@spoopydragon oh ma fuckin hell man 💀 The Thing is that I'll turn 18 very soon and in Germany, you can drive on your own once you're 18... And I'm nearly scared by insurance and Gas prices here🥲 So I don't even know if I should buy a car (looking at manual BMW E39 528i and 530i for 2-4k) or just get my motorcycle license (costs like 3k) and look forward from there... I mean I looked at some insurance quotes a few months ago and Landed between 1.8-2.5k € a year or sth, if I get an E39 soon after my birthday. And that's not really worth it when my parents have 3 cars and I'll stay with them for a few more years

I gotta say, I get her point. She worries about your safety... But just as well I understand you wanting a fun cool car. If you get in an accident, it would be tough. BUT that's why you would and actually need to drive more carefully and cautiusly. So that would make you a better driver over time 🤷‍♂️ And as a random idea (idk if it's even possible) but adding a rollcage would really help protecting you a lot in a miata🤔🤔📝 As a Tipp... Don't try to convince her by telling her you can just drive save. Convince her by teeling exactley how you will be safe in a definitle matter. Yk what I mean?

@@MrPista yea, she also doesn't want me driving manual for some odd reason (I believe it was "you'll be too focused on that, not the road..." Plus I've seen Miata as automatic either way) and I've told her exactly what I'd be doing to be as safe as possible. Didn't think about the roll cage tho... That could definitely work. Thanks hahah!

@@Mel12722 that Argument about roads focus is not great I feel like... Even though I guess I understand her thought. 🤔 Driving a manual, you have to focus more on the road than in an automatic car. Becauese you gotta Look ahead and think about where to drive at what speed in which gear. Also you will be so used to changing gears that you don't need to Look away from the roads or anything at all🧐 At least that's how I'm driving haha In Germany, as I'm 17, I can only drive in Company of my parents. In my dads manual car, I have a feeling for how fast I'm going and need to put more thought into reacting to what's ahead of me and when to shift to be at whatever needed speed... In my mums automatic car, I hardly get a feel for which gear I'm even in and feel less concentrated driving it. To be fair, I have way more seat time in my dads car and I'm biased becauese I think manuals are also way more fun to drive... But I still stand for what I said And apart from that, I feel more Comfortable driving a manual, especially at lower speeds and parking, becauese I have more Precise control using the clutch (instead of waiting for what the car decides to do with it's clutch in an automatic)

Wow I’m going through the same thing with my son

@@Butterfly_47 oh, interesting! So how exactley is the parent side of this discussion like? From what I thought about so far, I really understand the worries about your sons safety. So I get why you wouldn't want him to drive a Miata. But are there maybe some reasons I Kind of skipped or left out? I'd really like to hear about your Perspektive

@@MrPista I always had the same dream :D Go for it! But you shouldnt be afraid to work on the car yourself, but the community is quite big, so its easy to find stuff and help online. Manuel 523i is probably a great choice for you as well!

@@SchroederLPs I'd actually be very happy to work on my own car :) The cool think about it is that I got quite a bit of mechanic knowledge throughout my family, so I have access to basically all the tool 👀 523 and 525s actually make more sense so I'm always thinking like... Idk, a 528i is faster... And we have the Autobahn...

Oh nice! The facelift headlights make them Look so much more modern haha Concratulations to you for having such a nice car! And I love to hear that you appreciate it 🙏

Oh wow! The E34s are amazing, so congratulations my guy! A 530i of that era is basically perfect... Fun to drive, sounds decent, rather reliable etc I'm actually looking at getting a 528 or 530i as my first car rather soon, though I think I'm leaning towards the E39 as they are a good bit cheaper hahaha

I would like to get one as my first car at some point and here in Germany, you can choose between everything reguarding options and specs of these cars yk

Maybe 😂 You can really find a lot of great Deals here... We have a lot of E39s and I actually spent quite some time the last few weeks looking at prices etc. And I came along a lot of 528i and 530i models with 200-250k km (~120 to 150k ish miles) for 2-4k € and they sold super quickly👀

I mean I didn't really know about that, living in Europe yk But it makes sense I guess... Some have rust issues and people who own them often don't sell them. And there are way fewer in the US anyways... So thanks for the info! It's quite unfortunate though Here in Germany, I See a lot of them around. There is a street close to me where literally 4 E39s are parked basically behind Each other, on the side of the road💀 And what feels like every time driving around, I see at least one on the road...

That's freaking awsome man haha, you got yourself into a pretty cool project! It's understandable that the car has some issues and I just love your idea of making it even better than before🙏 But it sounds like a quite expensive idea... So how much is an engine like that? And how much work does it need to work with the car? 👀

Sounds quite interesting... I mean it makes sense, but I personaly have never heard of that before 🤔 About the oil, try finding one where the plastic hasn't gone anywhere and is perfectly fine so you can preserve it that way haha But it's a good point regardless! For example to check how well a previous owner trated his car or to preserve a freshly repaired, rebuilt or refurbished one. I mean they are pretty Reliable engines in general and a ton of the ones for sale here in Germany are quite high milage (like 300-400k km aren't rare at all) And their electrical faults and quirks are super annoying and can get expensive quickly, but I don't think most of them are too bad or f*ck up the car entirely

Thanks for coming by and sharing your experience! These cars are truely amazing, like you said 🤌 And at the moment, I'm actually looking like every Day on the Internet searching E39s, here in Germany haha I want to get one as my first cars and they are quite cheap here... But I'm looking at 528i and 530i's to get the most fun. I'm not saying it's reasonable nor smart to do that and skip the 523 and 525's, but idk... I can drive fast here in Germany hahaha I'm really happy for you that you love your car and enjoy it like you should🙏 All the best from Germany my guy!

That's a very interesting comparison! I mean there still are very different, but I get your point🤔 The 3.2 TTs are awsome I think! And you're right for sure, they are way better daily drivers haha The funny think is that I've never been in a TT before, but in a 356 Speedster kitcar that my grandpa built and still owns...

I don't fully understand what's your question to be honest...

And you have every reason to do so haha They really are awsome and cool cars! So I'm happy for you, that you enjoy yours like you should 🙏

I don't really know to be honest... Maybe someone here can help you! But it depends on where you live yk... Could Look at copart, eBay, or General listing sites where you Filter for the cheapest ones (those often need some work)

Hey man! Idrk to be honest. It feels weird for me too... Last exam was exactley 1 week ago. And now I'm not Sure what to make my next video about yk. I have some ideas of course, but didn't Look deeper into it again. Also I use my time to work on a different project again rn, to be productive at least.

Ich bin übrigens auch Deutscher und werd auch oft auf der Autobahn landen haha

@@MrPista Fuel consumption is manageable and can be very different depending on how you drive ranging from 8-15l/100km. I never had very powerful cars so the 170hp from the 523i are enough for me at least. Could have bit more power in the low rpms but when you rev it up it comes alive nicely!

They're cheap to buy, expensive to move.

@@robertadrianwayne I have to say that you're making good points here. There always is something that can Happen of course, you're right. And those bills can ad up...

And as parts for these cars are not too expensive here, my opinion is probably a bit biased anyways...

It's definetley up there🙏 I really love them too and would love to get one as my first car

The RCF is an awsome car, but I personally think they are harder to compare yk The RCF is more refined and I think also more expensive. And well, they both are great so there is some prefernce about which one is better I'd say.
