I got a club soft top for many reasons, but the RF is beautiful and the best looking

[@just.a.simplejoe]

My man - best miata review I've seen so far. I mean I've rewatched others just for fun and I own one but this was the best by far. Clean af 👌🏽

[@AutoAcademics]

I appreciate that, J H. Thanks for watching!

[@crazeyjoe]

Standard transmission vehicles also have the benefit of theft deterrent in North America.

[@vaskenkazandjian7006]

Especially with Gen Z and Millenials. Hahahahahaha.

[@richardpaul1262]

I went with a 22 GT RF I wanted the tan interior and the platinum quartz paint but those wheels look awesome

[@BlackNAVYAmericanVET]

Super nice video review! MX5 rules !

[@AutoAcademics]

Thanks for watching, Dennis Bordok jr!

[@jax1079]

Such a fun car! My favorite Miata by far.... too bad I can't fit in one. Oh well, enjoy an amazing vehicle, all you normal sized people! Great review as always.

[@AutoAcademics]

😂 It's times like this that I'm happy to be of "average" height.

[@jwaldhelm]

I guess at 6’ 2” this wouldn’t be a good choice for me.

[@mv9703]

I tried sitting in one and my left leg hardly had room to work the clutch… broken dreams.

[@encompassvideo5429]

Superb review.

[@AutoAcademics]

Thanks for watching!

[@phoenix3580]

Haven't gone for a test ride yet but I'm so look forward to it, I keep getting told it's for someone shorter. I'm 180cm which should be alright I suppose, I hope that's good.

[@JeffLuntGames]

Yes, please.

[@klauslehrmann3906]

Any option of no antenna, no black roof, and no hoodrod?

[@allanzylbert1306]

As someone who had a 2008 Miata and 2017 RF, I can say it's a blast to drive The car actually has good legroom, I'm 6'1" and never had an issue. The 6 speed manual is smooth and because it weighs so little, the engine is very good and it's really quick. Love the car and your review nailed it

[@AutoAcademics]

Thanks for watching, allan zylbert!

[@VictorHernandez-qv7in]

Where can I order a club RF? Is it sold-out?

[@burnskicks]

If they just put 2 big exhausts on each side it would look way better, but they have 2 small ones

[@richardmichael59]

Huge problem? Or just nitpicking?

[@wonyoon1931]

Thanks. I want it.

[@AutoAcademics]

Thanks for watching, Won Yoon!

[@WhirlingMusic]

Do I want to trade my BRZ ts for this? So tough of a decision. This is a nice looking car

[@AutoAcademics]

BRZ is a sweet car too, Whirling, but if you wanna drop the top AND keep that hardtop coupe profile, this is it. Thanks for watching!

[@looeyt4767]

That's my car!!!!!!!!!!! I ordered this club rf in polymetal gray metallic in March, and i picked it up at the dealer mid July...... ...now, I TAKE THE LONNGGG WAY HOME. I can't stop looking at it when it's in the parking lot, or in my garage (I made room for it...wasn't easy but worth it)... I had a '69 vette a few years ago...man, that did NOT handle well...

[@squareact62]

Do I want to sell my 2010 987.2 Porsche Boxster base 80k miles and get a new Miata RF? 🤔

[@Torsee]

Nice ride! Could do without the radio augmented exhaust note. Why bother? Second car I owned 1973 Datsun 610..4 speed..needed 6

[@AutoAcademics]

Ha! A lot of those older cars needed an extra gear or two, Torsee. I had a 3-speed auto '69 Mustang Mach 1 with a 351c.i. V8. Definitely needed more gears in the highway. And the augmented engine sound is becoming the norm on these newer cars because they are made so quiet. Even the current-gen Mustangs do it now. 🤷🏾‍♂️ Thanks for watching!

[@allanzylbert1306]

Augmented exhaust? I own the car and it's exhaust is just it's exhaust, nothing special to listen to like an N which has incredible sound Mazda is just a blast to drive and that's all that really matters

[@ArkhamJacks]

It doesn't gave that.

[@saultknutz1166]

It's not radio augmented, it's called a sound tube...and it's easily removable

[@rickmanley767]

The Mazda does not pipe in engine sound through the stereo like the Nissan does. It simply uses an actual real tube that runs sound from the intake manifold to the car’s interior. It’s easily removable if you don’t like it.

[@builttolaugh]

What state is this film in?

[@AutoAcademics]

We're located in Georgia, BuiltToLaugh. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

[@bigbosd7857]

No parking sensors?

[@richardmichael59]

If you need parking sensors on a car this small, maybe you consider a bicycle.

[@enricollanes7655]

Too bad. You can’t order Miata Clubs at this time.

[@aaronchandler2380]

I think I’d prefer the rag top…

[@billlam5028]

Me too

[@bmpbmp9446]

Too bad the dealers don’t have any to test drive!!!!!

[@truthhurtz8767]

There is THRTEE main problems with the MX5 Miata. One, a total lack of any type of storage space, except maybe for a pair of gloves. Two, the solenoid activated clutch pedal ruins the driver engagement. Three, the engine they use is 2.0 when they have 2.5.

[@mrnrfan182]

If storage space is a deterrent, this was never the car for you. The trunk can fit a couple of carry on suitcases. The middle cubby between the seats can easily accommodate all of the needed paperwork for the car (manual, reg, insurance) and there’s still additional room for sunglasses and gloves if you want. There’s also additional storage cubbies behind each seat (soft top) if you truly need more. As for the clutch, that’s subjective. Many people regard this transmission as one of the best. Heel, toe placement is unrivaled. There are ways to address the clutch feel but I’ve only drive two other cars (BRZ / Type R) that held a candle to how the MX-5 setup felt. It may not be “perfect” but it’s close. Many Miata enthusiasts think the 1.5 is the best engine for this car.

[@thebluvdone]

The color choices for Mazda is very boring 🤔

[@allanzylbert1306]

The Soul Red Color is considered by most, not you, as one of the best colors offered by any car company. It's all opinion but that Red is a great color to start

[@rembo183]

@@allanzylbert1306- yes indeed

[@bjbg6838]

They shouldn’t sell a sports car without a clutch.

[@richardmichael59]

Why? Just asking.

[@AutoAcademics]

Don't sleep on the Miata, jay czyzyk. It may be slow, but it's a fantastic driver's car. And it's affordable, too. Thanks for watching!

[@allanzylbert1306]

Until you own one, drive it and love it. That's what roadsters are like, small and a blast to drive

Since I've owned 2 I will just say no, I do know what they are like on highways and never an issue

[@saultknutz1166]

Lol, when you imagine you're a secret agent and anybody on the highway is out to kill you, it makes the drive that much more exciting...
