The NC Miata is a HIDDEN GEM! For now...

In this video I describe why I purchased an NC Miata for myself, how the stigma behind is completely overblown, and why now is the best time to buy!

[@button-jeff]

Love my 2008 PRHT. Just a treat to drive and a blast to own.

[@arricammarques1955]

08 PRHT & Beck 550 Spyder. : )

[@Kamukix]

That's my favorite Miata still, driven and lived with every generation...and the NC PRHT is still my favorite. Especially the Club 👌

I haave a 2013 and I love it. I think it is by far the best looking Miata which is why I bought it. For me it has plenty of power and great handling.

[@AmrinDosanjh]

@@user-ss8zw2je3n I’m starting to feel that too! The styling is really growing on me :)

[@cobie111]

Totally agree. I just bought a 2014 GT PRHT 6 speed and I love it. It's not ugly at all; it definitely has aged well. I felt like I paid a little more than I originally wanted to, but I do think they will hold their value well. Nice video; thanks.

[@williamfarley6857]

Test drove a 2007 nc prht 6 speed and had to have it. Love it . End of story.

[@rcmakingtracks18]

Ha, don't keep telling everyone. Yes agree with allmost everything you said. The nc mx5 is a truly superb sports car. John. In the UK.

[@granola_swamp]

I have a 2010 myself (hard top 6 speed) I absolutely love it and I’m never getting rid of it😊

[@mathewpsouza]

Really well said! I have an ND myself, but I never understood the NC hate. I subbed so I could be your 1000th 😂

[@AmrinDosanjh]

Thank you!! I kept checking lol thanks for being a milestone sub!

[@astrojordan]

Bullet proof motor, highly modifiable, all at a great price. I have had a blast making this my project car over the past few years. Enjoy your new ride, and if you want know talk what kind of project you can get yourself into, send me a message. 2013 NC Copper Red GT.

[@RCEOLP9]

Just picked up a 2014 Soft Top Club in True Red 2 days ago and my goodness, am I thrilled with my choice! You're so right about everything brother. This is the car to have for the value 100%!

[@rovert94]

Glad to see this, people always sleep on the NCs.

[@scottoworn]

The NC IS the real Miata. On my fourth but an NC2. Just 1600 miles when I found it.

[@jopo8281]

They are banging. Such a great way to get to work.

[@jedigrawlfang]

I loved by NB (Nevada edition), but rust got the better of it; Had an NC after that (I was wowwed by the bright red paint) but it was heavy in mileage; Now have a 2010 NC2 PRHT (why would you not) and absolutely love it (it's only the 1.8, but that says MX5 to me) - the facelift between the NC and the NC2 was subtle but made a huge difference to the look and feel of the car in a massively positive way.

[@nexoq4914]

Good video! Didn't know these were rx8 based.

[@MannyCruzal3]

You completely talked me into the Miata platform.. and now I’m thinking of a completely different car😂😂 what have you done to me amrin

[@Swarm509]

Haven't finished the video but the NC is in an interesting position. They are the sweet spot for being single owner cars, the people who bought them are moving onto something else or getting rid of them for whatever reason and you can find everything from the old man garage queen (fair weather only driving, but poor maintenance) to the well used and maintained everyday driver, to bagged out units the owner really enjoyed and should be really cheap. The majority I see locally are really clean examples with low mileage. I would say the ND is the better car overall if you can swing it even with the early models (nearly 10 years old now!) but the NC is a slept on car. A nice bonus is that it a car made just before everything went crazy digital with screens and such, so you are getting a pretty simple machine that should age well. And even as the "biggest" MX5 it is still tiny compared to almost anything else on the road today. Personally I am not looking for a project car so a new ND is probably in my future, but I would be hard pressed to say no to a clean NC.

[@smiles564]

Having had an nc1 in college and now currently owning 2 nc2(the onr with forged internals stock) i have to say it is an amazing platform with huge aftermarket support. Absolutely love them and will keep them ad long as i have room. I cannot say enough about these.

[@AugustDavinDeepson]

I am the one with the clean NC. …but I either want that ND or give my NC a facelift and make over ❤️

[@stevecrawford7814]

Im on my third Miata second NC. The ND is too cramped for me.

[@mauricesoulis1590]

Pros-total pkg, Lincoln towncar interior, bass boat handling, comes with Gilligan/lil’ buddy- dates with Tina Louise & Dawn wells😂 I’ve owned all 4 this is the best!🎉 Cons-best car I’ve ever had n I’ve had em all at 64! Btw I’ve owned lotta fiats & xwives! The worst😂

[@drewmorg.]

Awesome vid -- but my heart always goes back to C5 corvette which you did not mention. It is a much more serious car but has all the pluses of a miata. It even gets better highway mileage if you can believe that. Now, C5's might be a bit more maintenance considering their age and cost of tires etc, but they are at least twice the car of a miata. When I cross shopped Miatas & Boxsters 4 years ago I ended up with a Boxster S but that car is gone now. Time for the Vette to take its place. However, I still keep my pulse on the Miatas. Just throwing it out there for yall. If you want to track a car CHEAP - Miata is the ONLY answer.

[@AmrinDosanjh]

Thanks for your comment Drew! I definitely want to check out a corvette i’ve heard too many good things about them. I’m glad you commented here so anyone looking through can consider them as an option!

[@3rr0rcs5]

Thanks for the video, totally agree. Haven't got my license for that long yet (germany) but had a couple of cars already. Started out in a 2013 Smart, sold that and bought a BMW E92 325i with the 3l N53 and now sold that and will buy a NC Miata. Hopefully it doesnt treat me like my bmw did

[@AugustDavinDeepson]

Also, with 3D printers on the rise. What parts do you need again?

[@lazermaster1243]

I was looking for a BRZ/370z but then I found my 08 PRHT for a good price and I bought it. Initially i was planning to just do maintainance and fix the paint to flip it, but I cant find anything better for a reasonable price and its growing on me. I was planning to sell it next year, but I think youre right about prices going up in the future so im gonna keep it a bit longer

[@weethen]

can't wait to pick up an nc this summer! nice video

[@AmrinDosanjh]

you won’t regret it😈

[@weethen]

oh for sure, i already know 😎 currently planning to check out an 06 grand touring, hopefully it all checks out and i can get it! my dad had a 2010 nc which i unfortunately totaled last year after fishtailing in 0 degree weather :( but now i'm looking forward to get back on to the miata platform 😁

[@Drive2Freedom]

Subscribed. I have a 2013 GT PRHT I bought 6 months ago. Your video is spot on, The NC gen is 90% of the ND with the hydraulic steering of the NA/NB for 35-50% of the price. Not to mention it has the most reliable transmission compared to the ND. The 2009+ versions have forged internals and increased redline in the MT versions. I bought mine personally because I don't think manual transmissions will be a thing in 10 years and the Miata is one of the most fun cars I have ever driven. Its not fun to rev out a corvette for 3 seconds and be at arrestable speeds. Anyways keep the videos coming and check out my channel for similar NC content.

[@erict3796]

tout a fait d'accord mais c'est ma troisième voiture et surtout la nc a u hard top et est compatible crit'air 1

[@hardyk2010]

I bought my first NC1 in December, put on 4500 glorious miles & sold it last week for a nice $1500 profit. 😅 It was painfully sad selling it though...

[@stevec2229]

Good luck finding a clean NC for $10K these days.

[@bl3epbl0op]

I found one bout 300 miles from where I love, it's like 5 hours drive but I'm going this weekend, 2012 GT trim 36k miles at $14k. Clean too

[@FATmenDRIVEtrucks]

Scuba Steve long as you can use the internet you’ll find one

[@AugustDavinDeepson]

Who needs luck? I wanted and I found it. Around that same price. On an even better note: this needs to be a secret lol

[@rovert94]

Good video. If you found a quieter filming location and balanced your audio levels, that would go a long way.

[@AmrinDosanjh]

Thanks for the feedback! I’m working on a better audio solution!

[@obliviousorange287]

Hell yeah

[@Motorsportsgeek]

people sleep on the corvettes. They are these class of cars on steroids.

[@AugustDavinDeepson]

Miata is more fun. But if people are ~6 feet tall then I would understand lol

[@lazermaster1243]

I agree if youre talking about C4 or C5, but the rest are either classics or still have a huge price tag. Early base model C6s are also cheap but anything else i guarantee you people are not sleeping on

[@Ziddawastaken]

aint got no popups tho

[@kjss4345]

Its a nice car but get the auto, nobody will know how to drive manual in 10 yrs

[@ochayethegnu2915]

KZbin comments are notorious, but this has to be the most stupid one i’ve ever seen.

[@AugustDavinDeepson]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂no

[@user-ss8zw2je3n]

That's crazy.
