I Bought Another Sports Car

[@pan4632]

I love that you've bought several enthusiast cars brand new. So many car enthusiasts just complain and spread negativity about modern cars, when they only buy used. Can't expect companies to keep making these low volume cars if you never vote with your wallet and support them...

[@Aladdin5cave]

well said!

[@snowh2o]

Love to see another enthusiast who understand how good the ND3 is and could be. I just got my ND3 RF club 2 weeks ago. Already got coils and swaybars on the way. And I am super happy with my choice of buying a 2024 Miata.

[@JacquesTreehorn]

I am waiting for the 2025. Going to score one in Guam. I am going to borrow a friends Lexus until they arrive at the dealership. Other choices were Nissan Z Sport & Supra. Supra is kind of high $. The Z Nismos are only in automatic, I don't get that. Aslo high $. Really kind of priced out of Nismo Z and Supra. Not in my budget. They have to special order the GR86 in Guam, I know they would tag on some extra dough to do it. If I can get them to order a Trueno I may do it. As of now the MX-5 with the hardtop is the choice. Too much sun, rain and mold in Guam for a soft top. I used to have a BMW Z3. Too loud also, not into ragtops, maybe just me... I really like the BBS package. I think it is worth the extra dough and wait. Great choice. Congrats bro! Bad ass little ride you have there.

[@goodboi1232]

Mine is coming really soon! Ordered a red club without BBS. It landed on west coast 1 week ago and still waiting for it to be shipped out. Cant wait!!

This will be a cool journey for us driver enthusiasts for sure 😂 HappyZoomZoxo💨🏁🌄

Fellow crystal blue with BBR! I put my order in a couple weeks ago, trying to wait patiently

[@jubbalandcars]

Hell yeah enjoy it!

[@PRS-dk4mz]

I just got a ND3 in soul red as well. Like you I did consider what if Mazda released a limited edition in BRG next year as rumored. While it would be really cool, I would still get the Miata in soul red as the color is perfect for its design. I know it’s subjective but I can see it side by side but I would still choose the red, all things being equal. Congrats on the new toy…keep the Miata content coming!

[@jubbalandcars]

I wore my color blind sunglasses and looked at it again and thought “definitely the right color choice”

[@ag4allgood]

@@jubbalandcars I prefer White Metallic Snowflake as the contrast from the Black aero bits & wheels is much greater. Too many Soul Red Miata's out there. 😎

[@kgm5330]

Congratulations! I really appreciate your comments about the Miata being potentially overrated. And that is coming from somebody who loves Miatas, has owned four of them continuously since their debuted in 1990, and has logged hundreds of thousands of miles in them. I agree with your observations that they come from the factory too soft - even for street use. I was so disturbed by the ND1 , especially at its limits, compared to my modified NC2, that I skipped the ND1. I purchased a 2020 ND2 GT and hoped that I could modify it to match the performance of the NC2. I’m very happy to say, that changing dampers, coils, sway bars, and a few other tweaks can vastly improve this car’s performance - especially at its limits. Some of the changes are so simple and do not interfere with the daily drivability of the car that it’s hard for me to imagine why Mazda doesn’t sell them with these relatively simple improvements. I would like to hear Dave Coleman’s explanation for the factory sway bars. I’m pretty certain there isn’t one. I look forward to your delight in this car, once you’ve modified it to your liking. My enjoyment of this car is beyond anything I would’ve imagined when I first purchased it. I also appreciate you owning a Miata and an Emira. I’ll be picking up an Emira in the Spring, but my wife is having a little trouble understanding why I’m keeping the Miata, too. Your videos are helping.

[@jubbalandcars]

Glad I can help you convince your wife 😆

[@RJ-jl3bz]

Congrats on the beautiful MX5. I’m trying to decide if I want to order a 2024 or wait on the 2025 after my 2016 Ceramic Metallic Club with BBS/Brembo package was hit and totaled. Garage queen, weekend nice weather car with 600 miles on it. Still have a daily truck and 1997 M edition, but not sure I want to wait several months to see if they do anything new on the 2025 model. Enjoy the new car and watch out for other bad drivers.

[@treeskier802]

Congrats on the new car. Your videos are great for someone like me who can sort of fantasize on about having a car collection like yours-which I might say I am not sure I’d do much different. Perhaps swap the Mazda SUV with a Toyota RAV4 Prime XSE plug in hybrid for more power and interesting plug in tech. One aspect of your videos I enjoy is how you share your thought process for what car you select. I think anyone who enjoys cars loves that aspect of narrowing down what they want. You even get into the color combinations which I great. I’m currently shopping for a NC Miata. What are your thoughts on the color combination for the 2008 special edition? That car comes equipped with the lsd but lacks the bilsteins. What mods might you do to an NC? I initially wanted the PRHT NC but worry about mechanical aggravations with the power hard top as the car ages. Thanks for another informative and fun video.

[@jubbalandcars]

ty!

[@metalmystic6214]

Righteous! I just put in an order for a manual GT trim in the same color yesterday. The leather seats were more comfortable for me and I wanted to pick my own wheels. Crossing my fingers the 35AE gets announced before my car comes in just in case I want to switch my order.

[@jubbalandcars]

Congrats! Auto headlights and climate will make daily usage easier too

[@tomc8854]

Nice , great spec ! I got a leftover 2023 GT back in February . Had a 2019 and always regretted selling it. I got the gray metallic wouldn’t have been my first choice but it was 6g off sticker so I’ll live with it. wish they had more fun colors! But it does have the terracotta seats which I like. Fist mod has to be exhaust, stock is way too quiet !

[@tomdoe1234]

The best colors for the Miata are red, white and blue :)... really they are the best but I sure wish there were more. It's a fun little sports car and there should be fun colors. Light blue, green, yellow, orange come on Mazda

[@jubbalandcars]

Bright fun colors for the Miata! 🙌🏻

[@wackit6756]

As an owner of a '21' GT ST manual, I also wish the steering feel were better. Does the '24' have a quicker steering feel, a faster ratio? I also wish the steering wheel was 1/2 “-3/4” smaller. Beautiful car you have! Can’t wait to see the anniversary model.

[@jubbalandcars]

Agree wish the steering wheel was smaller. The ND3 (2024) has improved feedback and better on center precision. I talk about it on my ND2 vs ND3 comparison

[@VictorPitstop]

Have you tried maxing out your caster already?

[@sunnyvalentino]

MCS coilovers. Starts at 3500 and its the best, period. Xida's also good but take a bit of the steering feel away. Other coils that are more mid grade are Koni Roadstersport Clubsport or Meister R Zeta CRD or Goodwin Feal Coilovers.

[@jubbalandcars]

Does JRZ make something for Miata too? MCS/JRZ are where my mind was going

[@sunnyvalentino]

@@jubbalandcars MCS 1WNR. Brian from Karcepts knows his stuff. Dunno about JRZ

[@sinhluong4140]

Honestly, I never thought I'd ever be Miata guy, but I love driving my ND3 GT more than any other car I've driven. The next closest would be a 986/987 manual boxster. I test drove an s2000 once and honestly I thought the gearbox was really clunky and the car didn't handle that well out of the box. The ND3 drives and handles like most tuned cars, which is why I actually got one. Regardless, welcome to the club!! So jealous of the BBR, but I just couldn't wait 😂

[@Denoheatwave]

Dude you are living the car bro dream. Super smart to get a car you are more willing "to beat on" without bankrupting yourself lol

[@TT92348]

If steering feel is your primary concern and you have Miata money 30-40k, is there anything better new? Or do you have to start going used? It seems like the only way to get good steering feel on a new car is the Emira at triple the price…

[@jubbalandcars]

used at that price point

[@AcoAegis]

I bought a red base 24. It's a lovely car. A little too showy for me, but seeing that beautiful color makes me so happy that it's worth it to me. The base trim really dances with bumps and turns, even if it lacks composure on some harsher stuff. I love how it can go from chill, crisp cruise to peppy sports car (though I agree, these are not the most sporty cars on the market). Check out Malibu Canyon Road coming off the PCH, especially if there's no traffic, very beautiful scenery. Perfect road for the mx-5 experience.

[@jubbalandcars]

We’ve been fortunate to film some reviews in Malibu. Love the roads. I’ll be driving it out to SoCal and will make a point to drive it there. ACH is too high speed for the Miata but Malibu technicals are great

[@AcoAegis]

@@jubbalandcars I disagree completely on Angeles Crest, most turns are under 60mph. That being said, I've probably done over 30,000 spirited miles on the ACH in the last decade, so I'm probably biased.

[@le0redd104]

I, too, was thinking about whether to wait for the 35th AE to come out or not but very unfortunate I'm not a fan of the color green. If the colors on interior/exterior matters to you most besides it's status of AE. Then I'd say it'll be a lot better to stick with your options and mod it the way you see fit. You could always viny wrap it later but cover it with PPF first before viny wrap if you feel the need to in the future.

[@NanescuRadu1]

I tried out the ND3 even though I’ve got an ND2, and honestly, the steering didn’t feel that different to me. My ND2’s on coils, though, and that makes a huge difference. If you add coils to your ND3, I bet it’ll improve enough that even I might notice a change

[@jubbalandcars]

stock nd3 vs stock nd2 has a noticeable difference in steering

[@NanescuRadu1]

@@jubbalandcars yep I can imagine did not get to test the nd3 vs nd2 stock as mine was already modified ... but i would want to feel a modified nd3 with coils, strut bars, anti-roll bar

[@Throttle.Monkey]

Looking forward to seeing what mods you do. Hopefully someone is working on cracking the new ECU which would open up some power modifications.

[@danielmad]

Should have waited on the anniversary edition that's coming out next year. It's a GT trim with a Sports Pack.

[@ag4allgood]

Over rated ? My question would be why Buy it then ? I recently picked up the same 2024 Club soft top BBR package except in White Metallic Snowflake. Had a 2016 Club with basically the same package except cloth seats instead. Curb weight of this 2024 car is 2341 pounds. I'm still wondering how Mazda got that weight down when I see all the extra padding on the center console / padded sun visors & heated Recaro seats ? My 2024 feels like a more substantial car. The steering at lower speeds is more weighted where the 2016 was light at every speed. Visceral is how that 2016 Club felt as Mazda tried to get as close to the NA weight as possible. The sun visors were 1/4 inch thick plastic on the 2016. Get underneath the car & you see holes taken out of the steel supports. The 2016 design was weight reduction down to grams. Its not a Lotus but the lightness has been added as Colin Chapman would say.

[@jubbalandcars]

It’s a brilliantly engineered car no doubt. Incredible what they did in modern times. But I’ll be modding it to make it more visceral

[@le0redd104]

Please, tell me you're going to add PPF it's a must-have, especially for new, and you're planning to keep it for the long term. Miata are very vulnerable to rock chips especially around the front bumper and hood. I've experienced it myself with owning a red NA in the pass. Its well worth the investment as long as it has a good warranty with the PPF like the one i found in LA 12 years warranty PPF which is a pretty good deal from everywhere else ive searched in the areas

[@jubbalandcars]

Probably not. I didn’t PPF my GR86 and the chips didn’t bother me. That money can be spent on mods. Only keeping the Miata for 2 years tops

[@Panischristofi]

Considering getting the same spec ND3. I’ve rented an ND2 for 2 weeks and recently owned a GR86. Curious if you pass broomstick for track use. I’m 5’10” but long torso. Aurora has a lower seat mount that operates as stock. As far as body control, I was thinking sway bars too. But Brian Goodwin from Goodwin Racing says springs are better first because they also reduce dive/squat and open up more aggressive alignment options. Then do sway bars if you still need less body roll. Anyway, you probably know this already. Cheers in the new car!

[@jubbalandcars]

Thanks for sharing those recommendations. I don’t think I’d currently pass broomstick - need to first install roll bar to know for certain. But with seat lowering bracket I should be ok. Aurora gives a bit over an inch, and there’s another company that provides 2+ inches but fixed position, losing the stock movement functionality
