A friend just had me drive his NA Miata on coilovers with wide tires and an exhaust last night. It was the most fun car I've ever driven! It cornered like it was on rails and you could really feel the road beneath you. The car felt so light and nimble. Acceleration wise, It was slow.. but that wasn't bad thing at all! You could floor it, wring the engine out to redline as it makes all the race car noises, and feel like you're hitting unholy speeds but look down at the speedometer and you're barely going 50. It's a car you can fully enjoy without breaking the speed limit. I've always heard people say "Miata is always the answer" but now I get it. And next time I am financially able to justify it, I'll probably be getting one.

My dad passed away last January and he had an NB Miata that is almost stock except for Koni suspension with racing beat springs and sway bars, flyin Miata poly bushings, and a 2.25 custom axle back exhaust that sounds fantastic, and other than that it has the original two tone tan black interior, no rips in the leather or cracks in any of the plastics or dash, original Nardi wheel, no wrecks of any kind, only 47k miles and in the midnight blue mica (my favorite color outside of the merlot) with the tan top. The only thing about the car that isn’t original visually is the shift knob which he replaced with one he made out of machining a solid piece of brass into a perfect size small oblong shift knob, and the front right corner panel which had a bike that his air headed wife didn’t put up right fall on it and it dented the hell out of it, so he waited forever til he found a perfect condition color matched OEM fender to put on but passed before putting it on, so I slapped that bad boy on there and it looks like a brand new car. Still even has the trunk liner in perfect condition. And for a car that lived its life in Indiana is unfathomably clean. No rust anywhere. Hardly any chips anywhere. I’ll have this car forever.

NC Miata is in my opinion the best Miata. It is the most liveable due to interior and trunk space being the most cavernous. I like it's proportions better than the ND. And the PRHT is its knock out punch. Even the ND doesn't offer this, it offers a power retractable targa. It's also fairly modern--far moreso than the NA & NB. Lastly, the NC weighed like 2,5XX at its heaviest which is very light for a car these days; the BRZ/86 twins weigh 300 to 400 lbs more..

I have an NB Miata and I agree 100% with the having a hard time finding a good quality one. I ended purchasing an automatic for pretty cheap with clear coat on the bumper fading with 90k miles and needed a valve cover gasket. I've used it daily for 2 years now on JNC's with some old RaceLands (I know, gross) and it has never let me down. Manual transmissions for these cars can be found for around $100-$300 (or $600ish for 6sp). Best decision of my life

Fitment industries should start selling wheels, tyres, and suspension for four wheel drives. I have an na6 miata now but my entry to car modification was a Suzuki Vitara that I still have. It would be great to see one of my favourite online stores start selling parts for both of my cars.

[@malice_wonderland]

I'm one of the second type of owners, who is on #8 (and still #7). Loved my NA's and B's, but the NC is the most versatile platform. My ND(2) is amazing, but I'm so glad I didn't sell the NC as it has the most capability for modding because of the strength of the chassis (a short RX-8). The hydraulic steering feels so much more connected than the electric on the ND. Any of these cars needs a good sway bar/lowering suspension and wider tires/wheels to get the most out of them.

[@jaybudder1055]

In my book... theres the NA6 that had a 1.6L with 110bhp '89('90)-'93 its the original NA and its cheap however, by now it costs alot to fix up for it to perform well while keeping it's reliability. The NA8 '94-'97 had the 1.8L block that made 130bhp, they are also very cheap, they have the 1.8L as well as the later NA updates, although this is as far as you will get with pop ups. Next you got the NB1/NB2(I'm not entirely sure what happened there) '99-'05 these made just a hair more power with the same 1.8L just with a different head, i know this is when the introduced VVT. Like the NA its still heavily supported by aftermarket products and high driver volume. I will throw out there that in a straight line this was the slowest compared to the NA8 NC and ND2. Still a really good option though. Then there is a NC1/NC2 ('06-'15), the ugly middle child. It made about 130bhp with the 1.8L and 170bhp out of the new 2.0L with small changes over the years. This would now out perform the earlier cars in stock form but was never seen to look all that good as it did have many body touch ups over the years. This is where aftermarket support began to fall off for the newer cars, it is also worth mentioning that they haven't depreciated enough so finding one wont be hard but cost will be on the higher end for a miata. Lastly there is the latest ND1('16-'17)/ND2('18-) ('16-) the ND1 would have a 1.5L option good for about 130bhp as well as a 2.0L option capable of 155bhp. The ND2 would have a slightly sharper facelift and the 2.0L option putting out 181bhp. Here we see the latest miata on the market that looks spectacular. This is also when we start to see a large return in aftermarket support such as LS swap kits, full turbo kits and alot more for the ND. The ND would make fantastic option however its price still holds high for now. The way I see it, all the generations need some sort of power upgrade to push past that 200hp mark(they are all still alot of fun stock). All of them are capable for accepting that power but it would just come down to cost and preference. I dont plan on paying near sticker price for a ND and I liked the pop ups on the NA as well as the culture of that generation. I think the 1.6 is a little out dated by now(sorry NA6 guys) and would need repairs and replacements in just about every corner of the car. However with the NA8 updates is about in the sweet spot for me, it's got the pop ups, HEAVY aftermarket support, doesnt need as much updates as the NA6 and is cost friendly towards novice car guys, but its whatever you want that you should go after :)

Lots of missed facts but a good video. Pop up headlights were banned in America after 2000 due to pedestrian safety laws. The 1994 and ip NA's came with a 1.8 liter motor. NB's had the turboed Mazdaspeed edition and also had a VVT 1.8 at the end of that generation. NB2's also had an immobilizer which is rather annoying and expensive. NC's had a great Club trim model and the retractable hardtop was genius. ND's have the sexy RF edition. There are so many great things about Miatas. Comparable to the Jeep community because of the help factor and parts are available. I love the NB and own one myself.

as someone who's 6'2 and works for a mazda dealership, i have to say that i fit perfectly in a soft top ND (hence why ive purchased one) aside from that, i fit pretty good in an NB, i can squeeze into an NA but for the life of me i could never drive an NC comfortably. the roof is so low, the steering wheel doesnt come up enough, and the seat doesnt go far enough back. with this being said, if you can fit in any of them, i personally think the NB is your best option, with ND in second, NA in 3rd and NC in 4th. again this is my personal opinion and im sure others feel differently when it comes to the cars physically, and whether or not they can get over being a bit scrunched in the car.

So controversial to say this but the NC is the best driving car of the bunch while NA is clearly the classic all-around setup especially because it's the first and it's got the hideaways. An NC is an absolute sports car that was purpose built. I've been underneath all of these cars and driven all of them and there's something about the way the NC drives that just gives it the edge in my book. I happen to own an NA and an NC so I do not hate on any of the generations though I'll tell you this the NB is the least attractive of all miatas. There's just something way too soft looking about it. I think the only way you could fix the NB is to retrofit hideaway headlights on it. My na is fire engine red original Wheels with Tien coilovers and falken z rated tires and my NC is a Grand touring deep metallic green, tan top, 17 inch wheels with the factory bilsteins. It's more rigid, has more grip, has more power than the na and is the car that I would challenge anyone in the twisties with over my na. I've driven the ND and it's way too squishy in the suspension from the factory. Don't believe anyone when they discredit the NC Miata. It is the underdog and in my heart the champion of all miatas

Having owned an NC1 and ND2, no. The ND2 is superior but the NC is greatly underappreciated.

[@BaddDukk]

Being a little bigger, i'm about the NC. My son, at 20, really wants an NA for a toy so he doesn't mod the hell out of his MSpeed3..

[@FdC_BoX]

Get him it

[@luisserranoxd2686]

NB for the win baby

[@6toportal]

you forgot to mention NB you can get a 178hp Mazdaspeed with lots of quirks and features 😉 I have a 05, so sweet.

[@justthedad3127]

2011 NC Special Edition manual, and 2019 ND Sport auto . 2019, for my wife for sure. She does don’t like gear shifting. However, modified NC with go fast part form GWR. The NC is my favorite. ND is faster of the line for sure, but it cannot be hammered as hard. The weird steering is my biggest problem. My $.02.

[@iluvcakes19]

NC for me, too

[@Bolaji_MY]

Please make a video on all the cars you guys/ gals at FI have owned... who’s owned the most/ best 👀👀

[@Playfulpuppy_Gaming]

Ok wow... I have just been going back and watching maita videos from Fi, DM, and IM then I saw this video was uploaded. The NA and NC generations are my favorites. Also wow else wants to build an AWD safari miata?

[@ShuffleMasta]

Thank you for this! 😁

[@caelenow2829]

Mid 2000’s for sure. The new ones are way too badass for the small amount of horsepower. The old ones were cute, as they should be

[@Hakiri27]

Alex and dakota are my 2 favorite people to listen to on fi.

[@Slumpedsinatra]

NB GANG!!

[@AverageAnthony]

2001 NB2 here!

[@THECANDYISGONE]

@@AverageAnthony how do u know if u have an nb2? Uprising newbie here ✋

[@AverageAnthony]

@@THECANDYISGONE 2001 and above are NB2

[@AverageAnthony]

98, 99, 2000 are NB1s

[@Live.drones]

I’d like to know which casino Alex was a dealer at before Fitment

[@endwolf103]

Every Miata is the best miata. MIATA GANG

[@gilly3920]

My favorite generation is the mid-gen facelift na , preferably 1996-1997 bc they have more more modern safety features that previous and come with an upgraded 1.8L and the difference in hp between it and the nb( like 12 hp) is offsetted by a Roughly 140lb weight difference in favor of the na

[@Mooseyyy11]

12 hp is always 12 hp

[@sttng3.3r_68]

That intro was hilarious 😂👍

[@duckyman1755]

na8 is my favorite gen its got the slightly speedier 1.8l and some more "luxury" features plus its still got pop up up and down headlights

[@thewheeltroll1833]

From an engineering stand point, The 19 ND lol. If I had to pick one an NC with a 2.5 swap.

[@JohnSmith-yr6je]

Love the ND. Returning to its roots

[@J0WAY2FAST4U]

Pop up headlights are all that matter

[@josephfacey2596]

Drive an NC and see if you feel the same way.

[@Kamisama1738]

im gonna have to disagree with alex. i believe that samurai champloo has the best intro of all time.

[@jaydenrogers4796]

Yup, nujabes is legendary

[@irontonyx8098]

Wanna thank you guys for including timestamps!

[@joelparada6533]

nb miata, own one and don’t regret it at all

[@illicitmedia.8528]

Damn can’t believe one of my clips made it in, Didn’t see that coming

[@100rats2]

I'm more than a little biased because I own an ND but if you want a modern s2k get an ND2 Miata and throw some coil overs on it and maybe some sticky tires, done modern s2k.

[@chrisrudzinski6241]

Looks wise I'd also pick the ND but the manual trans is so weak in that thing that it's going to go down as the most unreliable Miata

[@EjinRenos]

Hmmm.... nah. ND2 surpasses the S2k in every aspect. Even back in the day year for year, the NB and NC both outperform the S2k in curves and winding roads despite being slower in acceleration.

[@tragicnomadic]

As a verified big boy. (6 foot plus and 240 lbs) and coming from the rx8. The NC is just fine. The nd is tight but wicked the na is laughable the nb is tight end really kinda tinny. The NC is my pick and also the mzr > BP motor. Sorry but I will fight all of you.... That said The rx8 my favorite miata....

[@vlenhoff]

BTW, the 1.8L debuted in the 1994 NA, and it carried over to the NB, AFAIK.

[@mmidesigns6084]

Nice video, liked it :D

[@turbogaminz9215]

I’m going for the NC Miata I’m 6’2 plus I’m already wanting a car to put coil overs wheels and tires on so that portion doesn’t bother me one bit

[@FitmentIndustries]

Lets go! That'll be a fun car to whip around in, you'll fit snug in it im sure! haha -Edgar

[@breadbreadonthefloor]

hey I'm really new getting into cars and the Mazda Miatas caught my eye when I was biking. I got a small question, which generation would be good for a beginner and someone who's 5'11?

[@tumisangr.6213]

Fully agree on that Attack On Titan statement 💯

[@kostygarage4328]

Don't get a 2015 nd miata unless you wanna spend an extra 2 grand on a new transmission. I got one and now I have a transmission tick at 60k miles and I'm about to have to shell out a bit of money. I've only tracked the car once and besides that it's mainly highway miles. Besides that it is a great car if you get one without the bad transmission. I daily mine and it's been great on everything else .

[@bobarcley7765]

rebuilding an na i got for $500 but im low key starting to like the nb i dont regret my decision because im saving a lot of money rebuilding mine but might have to pick up an nb too

[@zackchan3097]

I used to hate NB and NC, but now, Imma slap myself in the face. NC looks OK, but NB looks nice af.

[@Chrisii]

NA Miata because Headlights 😀

[@azzans]

Everyone wants an NA, and I can't tell sometimes if its because of the pop up headlights or because everyone else wants an NA.

[@ericworthington7299]

Headlights...

[@erikpuig1738]

Both, i have an nb and ppl usually shrug at it until they get in it, ppl usually just want an NA

[@Xerboras]

The best Miata is always the one you drive at the moment. ;) I had fun with all of them.

[@henrycollins2478]

NA and ND are the best imo

[@gyyzerdrips4308]

I just sold my nb the day this vid dropped still have an Na tho

[@chigbungus875]

With the new cx-30 ev coming out, I wonder if someone's gonna take the little rotary engine and toss it in a miata

[@absoluteclownworld]

NC3 with the 6 speed manual. Just needs some decent coilovers and the geometry set up and BAM best miata imo.
