What a great review! Your last segment talking about how we all end up back in the Miata is spot on. I officially started my car enthusiast career back when the NB was new. Now with over a dozen Porsches under my belt along with a 997.2 GT3 RS still in my garage, I have an ND3 Miata on order. For simple and pure driving fun, few can come close at any price. It really does help us enthusiasts focus on the joy of driving.

[@FungusUSMC]

A few years ago when I was looking into the ND2, i watched a ton of videos (including your review!), i notice every single reviewer had one thing in common: You were all smiling and giggling during the drive. That was enough to convince me to go ahead and get a new 2021 ND2 RF Grand Touring in red. Ive only realized last year that I've been daily driving the ND2 much, much more than my actual daily driver lol. Great review as always from a car loving enthusiast's POV.

Pretty sure the seats themselves go for like 3k used so yea it’s a pretty good buy

[@dlg5485]

Not for my money. I'd opt for the GT every time. In fact, I did just purchase my 2nd Miata GT. The Club with BBR package doesn't offer any measurable performance advantage, so I'd rather have the extra features of the GT.

[@screamingstrings76]

Not to mention the little trunk accent, and the more aggressive splitter and side skirts - with the black wheels on red calipers its a massive visual upgrade. I'm so used to seeing it on mine that seeing one on the road without the upgrades looks naked

[@davidyang8817]

As a ND2 RF, BRZ, and Cayman GTS 4.0 owner, I have to say the Miata is still such a special experience every time I drive it. Gonna try to hold on to it for as long as I can.

[@hotpancakes101]

Very cool! Could you give us a rundown of what you like and dislike about each of your cars. I'm currently thinking of getting a BRZ tS as my sole daily driver and would love to know how you like yours.

[@davidyang8817]

@@hotpancakes101 Of course! The BRZ is a great daily (it’s my daily of the 3 cars). The BRZ is practical, easy to slide around in the rain and snow, it’s a car you don’t think too much about daily driving. The biggest issue (especially if you drive the other 2 cars back to back with the BRZ) is that the throttle response delay and the rev hang ruins the experience a bit. It’s not a deal breaker and you can get used to it but these tuning imperfections make it feel a like a cheaper car than the Miata when it comes to driver input and feedback. I am running the pedal commander in the BRZ that The Topher recommended and it solves 50% of the issue. I love the driver input in the Miata. The throttle response is excellent, the shifter is very positive, I have the BBS brembo so the brakes feels better than the BRZ. However, its downside is that I don’t feel as safe sliding it around on the road for the exact reason Chris mentions in this video (since mine is a ND2). I treat the Miata as a top down relaxed weekend car. The Cayman is the most serious of the 3. You sit lower even compared to the BRZ and the Miata (I have the carbon buckets). Surprisingly, the cayman GTS has longer clutch travel and longer throw to the shifter (compared to the BRZ). Combined with the light flywheel, I have to shift quickly to catch the rev drop on the upshift. It’s amazing for sporty driving but it’s difficult to drive it in a relaxed manner. But the flat 6 almost 8000rpm is hard to beat. All is to say, despite all 3 being RWD manual sports cars, they are very different from each other. But I can assure you that they all provide some of the best driving experiences you can get in this day and age.

Hey Topher! I finally got my own Miata this year. Got a 2022 GT. It’s so much fun to drive. Been my dream car for a long time and I’m enjoying every minute I’m in it. Thank you for all the Miata vids to push me to get my own 👍

[@nicojoosse]

Got mine 6 days ago (GT softtop). Most fun car I’ve ever had in my life. The LSD is working very well, gives the platform a solid, neutral, balanced character. In wet conditions, you have to respect this car as it may still step out on you. But hey, that’s part of the fun. KPC helps to reduce body roll, but there’s still plenty of it. Might be slightly better in the Club version, with the Bilstein dampers. You feel the car settle into the corner, but once it’s there it’s very stable, with spades of grip. Top down on the highway, the fun ends for me at approximately 85 mph, above that it becomes rather uncomfortable. With the top up, I was actually quite pleasantly surprised with the noise levels. OK, it’s not exactly a silently whispering car but if that’s what you expect - don’t buy a Miata. I don’t feel the desire for more power or torque, the power train delivers exquisitely in this lightweight vehicle. This is all about fun, and it’s got that in abundance.

[@vlj1133]

Your GT has the same Bilstein dampers, spring rates, shock tower brace, KPC, and LSD as the Club version. Identical parts. Identical body roll. The only difference with the Club is that it offers the option of the BBS/Brembo/Recaro package for an additional $4800, making the Club with that package a lot more expensive than a GT.

[@Christianfire18]

Which year did you get? Above 2020 the gt also got the bilsteins

I have a 2024 ND3 Miata Club in Snowflake pearl and I absolutely love it, it’s gorgeous with the pearl against be piano black accents of the mirror caps, spoiler and wheels! I have ordered a set of gloss black emblems to replace the chrome and think it will really tie it all together very well! I am only at about 1600 miles currently and I’ve done an initial oil change at 850 miles with 5w30 Pennzoil ultra platinum and swapped out the manual transmission fluid at 1450 miles for the Ford XT-M5-QS full synthetic fluid that’s supposed to be far superior to the original fluid! I plan to do an exhaust upgrade and get something with a little better sound, as that’s really my only complaint so far! If you’re a true car lover and driver,I urge you to go and take a drive in the ND3 Miata, it’s the most fun you can legally have on the road and for just north of $30k it can’t be beat!

[@NFMazdaspeed]

2004 Mazdaspeed owner here. I test drove a 2024 RF GT with the auto over the weekend (was lucky the local dealer had anything in stock so beggars aren't choosers) and was absolutely shocked by how much more comfortable the ride in the 2024 is compared to the 2004. Now, my Speed is almost all original, so mostly 20 year old suspension that could use a refresh, but it was utterly night and day, comfort wise. Always amused by current reviewers saying it's not a comfortable ride compared to a Lexus or whatever. It felt like a luxury car compared to my MSM on 205/50R15 RE-71R tires. Thanks for this great review. Definitely helping the buying decision!

[@saviordream]

Picked up my '24 Club softtop with Brembo, BBS, and Recaro package about a month ago. Had a 2020 model (same spec) that I sold in 2022 to try something different but ended up coming back to the Miata. Love the car, and I've already done some things to address the issues I don't like (exhaust, coilovers, swaybars, etc.). Fantastic car that's one of the most enjoyable I've ever owned.

[@michaelina2771]

Nice review... thank you. An observation: I was under the impression that the lighter weighted Miata was designed to make the most of driver engagement on lower speed 'twisty' public roadways. Its 'dog never barking' is the raw power of the heavier Mustang, Porsche, Lambo, etc... right? Much of this vid shows you are blasting along at full speed (70-80mph) in a fairly straight line down flat-ish freeways and secondary roads. Since you seem to be a Detroit-er, would not a drive down an Edward Hines Parkway type setting be more appropriate? Its enforced lower speed limit (35-40 mph), meandering alignment and rolling terrain might offer a more fitting driver engagement experience for your audience to consider. Just sayin'...

[@AndreThompson925]

I still feel like it should come from the dealership with a muffler, it would be 10,000 x cooler. This is my spec (mine's an ND2, but is still fantastic, especially with upgraded suspension). This is the spec to get. Right here. If they ever offer a new color that's better than this I'll swap up, but you can't go wrong with a Miata-so long as it's a manual.

[@NOISYBOY0706]

I got a Goodwin Racing Super Street muffler and an alignment and its perfect. Next will probably be rims to easily swap to winter tires and sway bars.

Agreed, that's it! I heard they did revise the intake a it on the ND3 so it sounds better in-cabin, but an exhaust is still necessary for these - it really transforms the experience.

Do you think the 160bhp versions are powerful egnouth to have fun / slide a bit? The intro outside the car captures the perfect moment for a miata, low sun, heat, some noise in the far and a fun convertible to drive ^^

[@Danje1-MX5]

I live in Europe and own a 1.5L 132bhp ND2. The car was actually designed around the smaller engine. The 1.5L Roadster version retains a perfect 50/50 weight balance. It's incredibly fun to drive! I really enjoy driving out the gears. The biggest difference is that the 1.5L doesn't come with a LSD. So if you really want to go sideways you need one with a LSD. The 160bhp is definitely enough for this car, but I think there are 160bhp versions without LSD so make sure the car you are getting has one (if you want to do some serious drifting).

[@vipermoon_]

Yes the 160/158 hp version is definitely enough. Power is similar enough to the current 2.0L until after 6k rpm

I’ve had a 718 GTS 2.5 and I have a 987.2 S now, and I’ve owned multiple Miata’s. The Miata is more fun under 60mph. The Porsche is more fun above 60mph. If you do a lot of highway driving go Porsche. If you do a lot of town driving with fun backroads, go Miata.

How would I feel moving from an FType to a Miata ?...am looking into it to avoid large future bills.

[@TristonBrownfield]

Would you consider it worth an 8 to 10k premium over a used 2022 or 23?

[@JpSierra-g7k]

I might snag a copart auctioned ND Miata. Would love one.

Now if only Mazda would offer a Grand Touring with a Brembo / Recaro Seat option! 🤔

Me watching this after the news of BBS and Recaro bankruptcy

[@le0redd104]

Wouldn't that be a good thing then? A discontinue product would make it rarer kinda like the example of a s2k? Probably in the long term, it will like good old wines, haha

It's painful to watch videos of this amazing car while knowing I'm too tall to ever fit in one 😅

I bought a 350z but if I were to buy a new sports car this would definitely be on the list

[@supernova6553]

I wish they'd redesign the taillights. Otherwise a really nice looking car. What is the churping sound from the engine when you lift the hood at 2:32?

[@BenjTheMan1]

Would love to hear your thoughts on the RF. Trying to decide if I should go that route or soft top

[@ShearMeZ]

selling my ND3 was the biggest mistake of my life

[@le0redd104]

Miata Is Always The Answer

Manuals are the best
