2019 Mazda MX-5 2.0: The Perfect Sports Car?

[@peterlewis3540]

Its that feeling, that you think you are breaking the speed limit, when your only doing 40mph. That's what makes driving my MX so special. The 1.5L engine has plenty of punch, so why pay extra for the 2.0L when its not really needed. Also, it has to be the full roof down experience, and even though the RF looks the business, it weighs more.

Wow! Great video I'm so happy when people driving a Mazda cars are enjoying, I'm just a simple Mazda fan I also enjoy watching.

Nice review. Thank you

The engines flexibility comes from the power plants high compression ratio. What they have done with the 2.0 is copied the engine changes they made on the original ND 1.5 which the car was designed for. more power is always a good selling point but for me it also adds weight. Which when you think the idea of the alloy body panels sling back ski jump seating , shaved bell housing and even drilled door glass was the whole point, adding another 100 lbs which the 2.0 engine and steering column adjuster does, its a bit of a backward step IMHO. If you get the RF it adds yet another 100 lbs and puts the car back to its predecessors weight something the handling department were not overly keen on. what ever one you have though they are without doubt the most successful roadster of all time and the most fun

[@diegocuenca5377]

Lee B definitely worth it from a power-to-weight perspective

[@TheFlyingPlectrum]

Just traded in my 2004 NB facelift for a TT 45 Quatro. It's not the same experience but it's just as enjoyable and more so in winter. I will miss the MX-5 and it's a shame I couldn't quite justify a Cayman which would have been the natural step up.

They need a hi performance version...220 horse or more it would sell like crazy

[@martinaston1715]

It's called the BBR 225 upgrade normally aspirated !

2019 was 5 years ago?

[@RaymondLo84]

It's driving on the right side ... how do you shift...

[@anthonydeas2173]

With your left hand!

[@TheNaqoyqatZ]

Love the car, but your take on the suspension is way off. It's far too soft in stock setup. It's great as a daily driver without asking much out of it, but once you get aggressive the body roll is far too excessive. I still love the car, but it needs an aftermarket suspension IMO.

[@corbinroberts949]

I want this.

[@uckubungie]

Then get it. It's only 33,100 full payment.

[@corbinroberts949]

@@uckubungie I currently have a dodge challenger in the middle of it's lease that will be up in 2021. Just a matter of waiting. Definitely looking for that lightweight notchy manual!

[@markdouglas668]

Which trim? Many say the Club gear isn't worth the uptick in price ; ie the Brembo brakes etc.

[@johntechwriter]

I agree, the Club is overpriced. Does the car really need Brembo brakes, or are they mostly bling? Same with the Bilsteins. The standard Sport model, which I own, has such high limits as it is, the Club kit is redundant for street driving. I’m not convinced it would be meaningfully faster on the track, either.

[@mackan7086]

@@johntechwriter I would say the bilsteins are way better, also the Recarro seats are so much better

[@mexkdspEd44]

Bilsteins are a noticeable upgrade in my opinion, but for me the club is worth the cost simply for the LSD. That's a must have for a proper RWD sports car if you ask me.

[@sc9433]

Mx5 is mid engine not front engine.

[@robluck21]

They should have made it bigger, and make a model with a back seat,so it would be practical and not just a toy with no glove box or spare tire. this quest to eliminate any remnant of utility or practicality is ultimately destructive to sales.

Poor man's sports car. - Truth

[@X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X8X]

Better own an MX-5 than to not own a 911.

[@tonyandrews7956]

Why put labels on what someone chooses to drive. 911 can be labeled as old man mid life crisis car trying too hard to look cool. Mx-5 is more I don’t care what others think I want to enjoy real driving without being flashy.

[@tonyandrews7956]

That being said. I love a 911’s and all Porsche products 😂 best sports cars out there. I was just making a point. Don’t label a car.
