5 Major FLAWS With the ND Mazda MX5 Miata
The ND Mazda MX5 Miata is a great car, but it's NOT perfect. Here's 5 of my biggest complaints about the ND Miata.
1) Passenger Seat Bump
The ND has a very odd bump in the passenger footwell. Turns out, it does serve a purpose - it's where the catalytic converter sits, snugly tucked next to the transmission. This takes up a fairly considerable amount of room in the passenger's footwell.
2) Poor rearwards visibility
Rear visibility is lacking when the top is up, due to a small rear window and higher doors and trunk than older cars.
3) Wind and road noise
These are light weight cars that are minimalistic, which means lack of sound deadening and materials to isolate you from the road. Because of this, these cars are noisy at speed, and not the most luxurious.
4) Terrible cup holders
The ND Miata has cupholders that aren't very good to start, but on top of that, they're removable and can get lost or removed.
5) Lack of storage space for longer trips
The Miata is not a car designed for hauling large amounts of cargo, but it definitely requires you to plan what you're bringing on a trip, especially if you're with a passenger.
These are problems I've found after owning this ND Miata for about 1.5 months. I LOVE this car, in fact it's my favorite car, but it's not perfect, and has these issues and flaws. Of course, everything is a compromise, and in my opinion the ND Mazda Miata is still the BEST driving car, especially when you consider price. What are your thoughts?

I Bought the CHEAPEST ND Miata In The Country - How BAD Is It?

I bought the CHEAPEST ND Mazda MX5 Miata available in the United States. This new to me, 2017 Mazda MX5 Miata Sport is a base model car, that has quite the history. It's been crashed and hailed on, meaning it was issued a salvage title that was rebuilt prior to my purchase. This car came with some excellent, enthusiast modifications, including Falken 615K tires, Advanti S1 Storm wheels, and a S...

Sometimes happens when turn signal is activated and sometimes when turning. Totally random, may not happen for days and then all of a sudden it does it every time you drive for a week straight

    Nothing on this list bothers me. This guy wasn’t too bad, but some of these reviewers that come on here and nit pick everything to the masses are the reason that this is the last generation of the true miata. In 2025 we’re getting a 3,000lb (at least) automatic only, full electric car. The miata is dead because it wasn’t good enough for non old school sports car enthusiasts.

    Is there a better sportscar / convertible that starts around $30,000 new? Or even twice the price that is better made with & as good reliability as the MX5 that is so much fun to drive? It is not perfect but please think about what is more close to perfect for the price in 2024. I have had a 2021 MX 5 Sport for over 3 years & have never had any problems yet. There is no perfect human or car. Just enjoy yourself & your MX 5 even with its 5 flaws.

  • @brucemcgivern1683
    @brucemcgivern1683 Před 4 dny

    Obviously you bought the wrong car for you. It is a small sports car and you must've known not much storage and that it being a convertible it just might be noisy. I hope you learn to enjoy the MX 5 as much as I enjoy every minute of driving mine.

Real manual with three pedals on the floor, hand brake instead of an electric one , analog gauges, instead of an I pad. Still real petrol instead of electric, still real original roadster platform. Others have come and gone but this one still remains. There simply is no competition in the price range. Again, thank you Mazda!!!
