For comparison, 'regular people' car costs like 18k USD, cheap city car is like 12k and a Honda CRV which people generally perceive as a upper-end of family car costs 45k USD equivalent here..

Been looking forward to your ND3 review, and it's even greater than I hoped for! The video and audio enhancements you've been incorporating make an already-good thing that much better. It's fun to see you ripping around in a car that's a near doppelgänger of mine ('23 RF Grand Touring manual in the "controversial" Zircon Sand). About the specs: For me, the manual GT was a better deal than the Club--it shares the most important mechanical performance bits (front shock tower brace, limited-slip diff, and Bilstein shocks) and adds some convenience features for several thousands less. I test drove a soft-top Club, which was outstanding, but I didn't find the GT RF any less thrilling behind the wheel. And the Recaros didn't feel as comfortable to me as the stock seats (no adjustable lumbar on either, my main "missing feature" complaint about the MX-5), I preferred the look of the GT's alloys to the Club's black BBS wheels, and I don't plan to track/autocross the car, so the Brembo brakes weren't a must-have. Re your defense of the car's power: You're right, it's far from slow in the real world, even though its on-paper numbers look tame in '24. With the short gearing and high redline, you can wind it out so often in regular driving that you feel like you're getting away with something without egregiously breaking speed limits (although you definitely can do that too). The pull to redline in second gear is especially engaging, perfect for freeway entrance ramps or coming out of tight corners. Also, no matter how I drive it, it almost always gets way better than the EPA mileage rating. I've seen as much as 40 mpg on longer, mostly highway trips, and always get low 30s in regular around-town and mixed driving. Great video, a legendary car--thanks, Alanis!

Yeah, power is pretty good for the light car this is. And nobody buys a miata to win straight line races, it just isn't that sort of car. As for the powertrain; personally, i miss some low down grunt, that's typical of higher displacement or turbo engines. To me, below ~3,5k, the car feels almost gutless. Certanly needs to be in the right gear to go fast. But that's usually par for the course for a highstrung NA engine. As for fuel economy; the most i got was ~48MPG on B roads with the top down, no less. Amazing fuel efficiency, considering this car isn't designed with fuel efficiency in mind (at least not as a first priority).

ND Miatas are so good. Criminally good, every enthusiast needs to own a Miata at some point. I don't even think it's that bad of a price at 40k , compared to what is out there, what other sports cars are that light, come with that fun of an engine, RWD and in a manual. My only gripe with the car is it REALLY needs an aftermarket exhaust. They should ship one to you when you buy it.

Did a ton of research and decided on the Mazda. Glad I did. Still have a Camaro and Corvette though, can’t leave the family.😊 The MX-5 Cup races that usually run with IMSA are a hoot to watch.

"It's more fun to drive a slower car fast than a faster car slow" truer words were never spoken. The Miata has never been about raw speed. It's a twisty back road car and the enjoyment comes from taking corners at or near near the car's limit without breaking 10 different laws. I picked up my ND3 GT manual 3 weeks ago and it's even better than I hoped it would be. I previously owned an original ND and this car is definitely a noticeable step up in performance and refinement. It's such a joy to drive that I make excuses to go for an open top drive anytime it's a nice day out. The ND3 isn't quite perfect, though, no vehicle is. I was hoping Mazda would add some lumbar support and better bolstering to the GT seats, but they are still the same unsupportive seats from 2016. I guess it's their way of pushing enthusiasts into the more expensive Club w/BBR package to get the Recaros, but that configuration is overpriced in my opinion and I wanted the extra features of the GT anyway. It should also come with 215 width performance tires from the factory, not 205 all-seasons. In any case, my ND3 GT soft top is an amazing sports car that was well worth the $35k I spent on it. I expect to get decades of driving enjoyment out of this car and possibly modify it to make it even more capable in the future.

Another great review Alanis! I have a 2023 RF GT 6-spd (Soul Red Crystal, best paint color of all time). I've had dozens of highly acclaimed sports cars over the years, and while most of them did certain things better than the Miata, it's by far the best and most engaging sports car of them all. I have to shrug when I admit that, since it's such a modest little sports car. It's just so damn good!

Was part of the Miata mafia when I lived in California. Nothing better than driving the twisty canyon roads with the top down. I’ll be in the market for a car again in a few months and am so tempted to buy another, although it’s much less practical for northern states with real winters.

Winters can be a bitch, especially if the roads are salted. Miatas ain't know for good rust proofing. If the rust isn't visible, it's either hidden or it's about to be rusty. Especially older models.

Volvo P3 platform was rust proof for North. The v60cc or v60 polestar was the best p3 model. Subaru have better handling and better awd, but must be undercoated every 3 years to protect from salt.

That’s the car that won Best of Show at the Hillsborough Concours d'Elegance (where a lot of this video was filmed). It was rather pretty and had a very interesting back story, (discovered by the Red Army during the war, taken to the Soviet Union before moving west again and being restored (in the 00’s if I remember correctly)).

I've owned two NA miatas, a NC PRHT, and my latest ND2 RF. Loved them all but the ND hits the most for me for comfort, modern features, practicality (for a sports car - e.g. mpg, trunk space not getting taken by the top), and fun factor. 😎

no one ever mentions it i guess it is a bit of a hard to find thing...in my 2019 mx5rf.. it has another storage box like the center back one behind the passenger seat.. move the seat forward and you will see it. great spot to hide smaller items or just never used paperwork , backup sunglasses etc...

Great work! Love my ND1 RF, it’s been one of my favorite sports cars out of MANY. I do have to say I don’t think the recaros or Brembos are standard on the club, you have to option them. Mine is a club with BBS and Brembos, but does not have the Recaros (works ok for me, being a bigger guy and I lowered the stock cloth seats anyway) 🏁

I am trying to understand if anyone has experience with long-distance driving in the Mazda Miata. How does it perform on long drives? Is it comfortable? Can you recline the seat, stretch while sitting in the car, and grab a drink or a burger without having to get out? Also how does the soft top suit colder climates, where temperatures touch close to zero or sub zero?

The jostle while driving was a total accident - the camera wasn’t fully secured! We’ve never had that before. For stand-up portions, my husband holds the camera and films. It adds a slight bit of visual dimension (and is much faster) compared to a tripod

Man, i really love my ND2. Such a fun car. And with leasurly driving, it's not uncommon for me to hit high 40s in terms of MPGs, which is extremly frugal for the sorts car this is. Unfortunally, i see that ND3 in europe appears to only be shipping in the 1.5 G132 engine, which is really sad (although i hear some 2.0s happend to sneak by). Must be something to do with fleet co2 emissions and miata being a small car, it just doesn't fit the bill.
