Why the Mk3 Mazda MX-5 is Criticized (and Why It's Not That Bad)

[@royhale7283]

I bought a 2008 PRHT brand new. I absolutely loved it. Had it three years. But was forced to sell because we moved to Idaho where it snows 3+feet. Fast forward to February 2024, I finally got another one. 2011 PRHT. I retired in Florida so now I can drive it year around.😊, I love it because it’s a little bigger than the NA, NB,ND. I did own a NA for about a year and a half in 2021. But it was a bit small and didn’t feel as safe as the NC. I think it is the best looking one of the four. I really like the flared fenders. I’m a happy camper now I’m back in the NC saddle 😉

I've owned an NC-3 PRHT since it was new in 2008. Lovely car. Unfortunate, though, about the engine--I'm almost tempted to see about getting the post-2009 block, the one with the upgraded engine components, including the forged crankshaft) to serve as a basis for powertrain mods, but that would be set me back quite a bit... Thank you for this great video. Up the valleys (Pontypridd?)

Wow, is that NC owner related to Matt Lucas? If I close my eyes, I swear that I'm listening to a character out of Little Britain!

I have the 07 mx 5 with the phrt I love it dont know why so many people hate this nc I think its better then the 1 st 1 reason I know cause I owned 1 but I do miss the pop up head lights

I run a 2013 NC with proper alignment decent suspension and a map they become an amazing car

[@chrisbaxter5041]

Most hate comes from people who have not owned or driven one best ones are definitely the later 2.0

I am a Miata owner and enthusiast. I have two and enjoy them immensely. For this reason I watch everything about them on KZbin to support creators of content about Miata. I have to admit that Your video was one of the most hard to watch. Your interview was boring. To be fair, most of similar content is banal. The biggest obstacle to endure this video to the end is unnecessary loud and annoying music. I understand that a good music may supplement a very good videography. Do you thing that this is your case?

Thanks for the feedback 🙂

What are your opinions on the mk4?

[@Flatcap_Media]

Like the MK4 very much, have driven a 2ltr and 1.5. both cracking cars, I do like the RF as well ☺️

[@kfm908]

NC's are the best .They have a roomier interior, enough power with the 2 liter and nice looks

It’s criticised because it looks very “girly”
