YUP! A garage does a lot for a car’s life. 😊

[@stephenboyd4934]

Not necessarily because don't put a wet car in a garage plus it can get very dusty in it too. A car port works better, I suppose it depends on which country you are talking about. Plus in the UK which is a damp country & generally have small garages on average, which cannot take large cars

My Friend Tom a Auto store (Napa) bought a Mazda. He said it was fun to drive and zippy. He wanted to give it more get up and go and ordered a small super charger. When it was completed he showed it to me and I joked well is it faster. He smiled and asked me if I wanted a ride to see. I've had a sports car before but I wasn't prepared to the for this little beast. It accelerated beyond what I expected. What a huge difference!!

[@MutualistSoc]

Half of car redditors hate my 2024 cx5 because it uses older technology. I like it because it uses older technology. Its just a 6 speed automatic. And only gets 25ish mpg (Turbo variant) but it shifts super smoothly. Better than any 8 or 10 speed ive had. It has physical controls, and the biggest plus my trim doesnt have that auto start auto stop feature!

[@watchmanonthewall14]

I bought one new in 92'. Fantastic car. IMO, 2024 is the best one they've ever made.

[@DickDebonaire]

Few people on Earth despise that stop start system as much as I do. I know the Miata doesn't have it yet but in other countries they do so it's coming. Are these the last two vehicles in North America that don't have it? I know the 5.0 Mustang finally got it in '24

[@donbahn1319]

I am the 3rd owner of a 2007 Miata RHT Touring, I received it with 134343 miles on it January 2021. I replaced the mid pipe to remove the resonator that made hearing my passenger difficult with the top up the stock 15 lb muffler with a 4 lb muffler, and I had to replace the shocks, and sway bars because my Subaru Baja went around corners with less body roll. I now have 156598 miles on it and it is still running great. I had Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires (215/40) installed on after market wheels, these tires are more predictable and hold corners better than the Continentals it came with.

[@Intrepid175a]

@@babydahlin6976 - I've driven a couple of them. With the seat all the way back, my knees were still hugging the steering wheel. It was awkward as heck to manipulate the clutch because I had to keep my left leg tilted over to clear avoid the steering wheel. With the top down, the top of the windshield is right across my line of sight. With the soft top up, my head is firmly pressed into it. I can only imagine how that looks from the outside. With the RHT models, there's a little more headroom because of the curvature of the top, something the soft top doesn't have, so my head is not in direct contact in that case but the other issues still exist.

Hi Scotty, on the issue of Turbochargers, the older school "low boost"turbochargers with lower psi, around 8 psi boost and did not require intercoolers. They are lower boost, what do you think of them? theoretically they won't diminish reliability as much as the modern 12 to 30 psi turbos. Is the power diff worth it? at which point?

[@2ferone86]

Looks like it would be fun to drive. Getting in and out of that go cart, not so much.

[@lorcashine]

It really is a gorgeous car. Are any of the newer Mazda's with some height (not sedans or roadsters) good in mostly city driving/not freeways (in relation to the carbon build-up issue?). Thank you! There's a 2006 Mazda Miata (6 cylinder, auto) for sale in my area. I just love that model, but remember what you said about the auto transmission not being good. Probably not the most practical in a huge city with a lot of crazy drivers.

yeah the old mazdas were basically bullet proof. I had a manual mx-6 when I was young. I tell you I red lined it every time I shifted up. I beat the piss out of it for a long time and never had 1 problem with it. The newer ones are not even a shadow of their former selves.

[@mindtrap0289]

Considering a Mazdaspeed3 for my Daughter. Is it gonna be about the same expectations as the car in video? Or did they change things between models to make big difference in longevity? (Not car guy myself, youtube tinker warrior)

[@ag4allgood]

The new Miatas ND / ND2 / ND3 are a blast to drive because of the instant throttle response & flat torque curve from the naturally aspirated 4 cylinder engine. They are much quicker than the NA / NB Generations & also beat out the NCs.
