As the world continues to evolve and times are changing, sometimes there is nothing better than seeing a classic namesake continuing a legacy. The #MazdaMiata has done just that over 4 generations, spanning more than 3 decades. Continuing the long upheld tradition of lightweight, 2 seat Japanese roadsters, the 2023 #MX5 is still here to show the globe that you don't have to buy a big ostentatious sports car to have a huge amount of fun. That said, buying one now can be a very costly option, so can the #Miata still hold a candle to today's ever expanding world of sporty rides? Watch our full #carreview to find out!

MX 5 Best car I EVER drove. I owned Camaros & Mustang 5.0 all manual * MX5 butter smooth “ SUPER FUN CAR X 100 🇺🇸👍🏽

[@russellbluewolf6427]

You've come so far,I'm proud of you..

[@rembo183]

“No cost options” for,the BREMBO package isn’t exactly accurate. They cost $4,500 added to the Club model. They used to be added separately but now are included with a $4,500 higher price as standard “ no cost options”. So if you want to save money get the GT in cloth to,avoid buffeting or bite the bullet and get the RF.

[@jasondixon9095]

I love my 2021 RF automatic jet black so fun to drive

[@ramilarbiol5577]

Mazda Miata is my dream car

[@fritts93]

No cost? That’s because this is a RF Club which is around a $4000 option compared to just a regular RF or Grand Touring RF. At least that’s what I have been looking at. I agree that the BBS + Brembo is preferred to me but it does cost more.

[@pathological-liar]

Nowadays Club trim automatically comes with BBR pckg which costs about $4500 on top of base Club trim price. So the Club trim costs more than GT trim which is technically loaded minus BBR and gloss black trim pieces around the car. BBR pckg surely looks nice but imho it's not worth $4500. GT trim still gets bilstein dampers, LSD and all the goodies PLUS auto dimming rear view mirrors, adaptive headlights etc. (I should prolly say GT trim with MANUAL trans comes with bilstein dampers and LSD.)

You don’t have to spend 41,000 I bought a 2023 grand touring soft top with 1,600 miles for 28,000. Clubs are harder to find and the grand touring also has the Limited slip diff. Bilstein dampers and front shock tower. Unless you live in a cold climate or an area with security issues I’d go soft top for the true convertible experience. I had a 2019 for 3 years and always regretted selling it. So learn from me, if you get one, don’t sell it!

[@royanderson535]

Replace the oem tires and road noise is greatly reduced. Which is what i did. ( Michlen Pilot sport 5) Can't go wrong with Michlens!

[@Ambryu1]

I went the rout of buying a used ND1 used then modifying the hell out of it, turbo too.

[@loumartin8851]

No cost? The BBS/Brembo/Recaro package is north of a $4k option!! Sorry, stopped watching your video at that point.

[@GrandPrixGTP02]

If that was the case, then explain to me why it said no charge next to all of those on the monroney sticker that I got with the car?

[@fritts93]

Yeah, he’s testing the RF Club … the Club w brembo + BBS + ricaro seats etc costs $4k - his msrp just includes it all I guess is what he means. But not quite right compared to a regular GT RF

[@loumartin8851]

s93 Maybe, I just wanted to point out that it's not a free option when you get/order a Club... that package is about $4,600.

[@rembo183]

@@GrandPrixGTP02- You can skip the Club and get a Grand Touring RF that still comes wit( the LSD and Bilstein shocks. That costs about $37k. That’s what I have. The Soft Top may not have as much wind issues. I got the RF because I wanted the hard top for convenience and styling. It was a tough choice. If the RF becomes a nuisance with wind buffeting I’ll go with soft top next time.

[@rembo183]

The RF targa top version is actually excellent. Wind is not an issue at speeds below 60. Your city driving and commuting is great fun.

[@dheerajchidambaranathan]

You forgot that most Mazda dealers are giving huge discounts on top of MSRP! So that 41k is not real when you buy it (sometimes even with taxes, you will come down below MSRP as I did with my GT 2023 RF).

[@MX-5_RF]

I’m planning on getting the 2024 gt rf. Can you tell when was it that you bought your 2023. And how much otd? What was msrp for your car.

[@dheerajchidambaranathan]

@@MX-5_RF : I got mine about a month back from Hello Mazda, Temecula. They had a great discount going on for the 2023 model (they still might have some going on) along with $500 loyalty since I also own a Mazda3 from 2016 along with $1000 cashback for financing at 0.9% for 36 months. Overall, I got mine with a basic 5 year oil change and tire rotation from the dealer (prepaid) for around $37k (MSRP was .around 37865 or so)

[@loumartin8851]

FYI, if you didn't know, it's illegal now to produce a car with popup headlights due to pedestrian safety regulations.

[@user-cj7dv2kc6d]

No cost option? Haha

[@TheFlyrodder68]

Lol! No, not for $41K. That can be had for $37-38K.
