I ran a 2015 ND 1.5 for six years and 135,000 kms. Best car I've ever had. 100% fault free. Two criticisms only - washer bottle was too small and a digital speedo would have been preferable to the gear indicator. I have a new 2.0 on order for Jan 25 delivery. That says it all really.
Long wait -- January 25?
Why is it taking you so long to get one?
"For those that are close to the Lord" 😂
no one knows the day or hour!
That took me out 😂😂😂
@@jessecail8182 get on your and pray to Jesus.🙏
Finally, after literally 10 years - someone on CZcams decided to check out the passenger seat room on an ND. Doing the Lord's work right here for people who want an ND, but aren't sure if it fits their use case. Thanks Que.
I've always wondered about how comfortably any passengers would fit once I started noticing that massive transmission "bunion" growing into the right footwell.
It’s the location of the subwoofer. Not the transmission.
I wonder where she would put her purse.
I don’t own a miata but hopefully ND2 will be my next car soon.
For auto climate: once you feel it’s as cold as you want and it’s still blowing hard, turn the temp dial up slowly until the fan speed is the lowest (keep an eye on the AC indicator still being on, if it’s off you’re too high). Once the fan speed is at minimum and AC is still showing on, that is now your new “favourite” temperature. Keep it there and the fan speed will slow down once it gets there like how you want it to be.
Nice car,hope you enjoy it 4 many years. Mine is a 2023 GT RF in platinum quarts. My moods are as follows... Michelin PS5 tires (much quieter & better performance) Goodwin Racing muffler (better sound & a 8hp increase to the wheels) Verus sound tube delete and a flyin miata door bushings which adds a little increase in structural rigidity.Although MX-5 s
are great cars as is. Your reviews are very well done.Thank You
The bulge on the passenger side footwell (3:35) is the catalytic converter. s2000's have the something similar
Sheesh. I was led astray. Thanks
@@QueTheChaotic I told you that hump was the cat. Then I said the subwoofer was at the end of that footwell in front of / below the passenger's feet, (ramped area) which is why it feels cramped in there for longer legs / stretching out.
I’m far too happy and grateful that Mazda is the only one who still makes a real roadster to find any faults with my 24 mx5. The. Hump in the floor is for the catalytic converter and is on the driver’s side for us in Australia. Never even noticed it cause your feet are on the pedals 😂.
Lol aww man.
Great video Que I really enjoyed it! This video was way different than any other “things I hate video” and felt more like a friend talking me about his own car! 💪🏾
Much appreciated!
I have a 2024 ND3 Miata Club and i absolutely love it! I agree on the limited color palette and they need to offer some more bold fun colors for such a fun car! I am a white car fan and chose the Snowflake pearl and I think it looks great with the black accents, like the mirror caps, wheels and the little spoiler!
I haven’t experienced any issues with my key fob and just wish it was smaller! I am 6’ 175lbs and I fit perfectly in the Miata and my oldlady is petite so she has no issues with the hump from the catalytic converter.
My car doesn’t have the auto climate control, so I don’t have the issue with the fan speed and I am really impressed with how well the AC actually performs in the very hot and humid North Carolina weather we’re experiencing right now!
I feel sorry for the larger folks that aren’t able to fit in the Miata, it would be sad to not be able to enjoy such an amazing experience!
Great work Que!!! I especially appreciate you mentioning how tall you are! I've been so frustrated when reviewers mention their clearance but don't say how tall they are. I have been looking at all the videos and I like every one of yours. Keep up the good work sir!!!!
Thanks a lot. Will do🫡
Nice videos Que. I’ve got a 2022 manual gt soft top nd2 and love it. The subwoofer is actually at the end of the passenger floor compartment under your feet at the firewall. That actually takes away about 4 to 5 inches of legroom for the passenger…luckily it doesn’t bother my wife. There is a foam piece that they put in place on the lower trims without the subwoofer to take up that space, so they don’t even gain back the legroom for the loss of the subwoofer. The side hump as mentioned previously is the cat converter and on a long ride the passenger can feel it get warm.
The auto setting on the vents will choose where to direct the air supposedly. The auto fan speed will lower once you’re going if it gets cold in the car and you turn the temp dial.
The hump on the floor on the passanger side is one of the catalytic converters. The subwoofer is by the feet of the passenger/firewall, under the carpet., which is why theres less legroom than on the drivers side
I got a ' 24 CX-5, key fob is jacked up like yours
I agree on the lameaz colors. Other than that definitely the best and most fun to drive vehicle hands down! Make It A Topless Afternoon, noisy and all! 😀
I love my 2022 … BUT I absolutely hate how thin & fragile the paint is. Do yourself a favor and put PPF on it immediately!!! I waited 6 months & now have a few small chips under my PPF.
The lack of headspace can be resolved by seat lowering rails on aftermarket. Your mileage may vary.
I’m 6’5” and weigh 350. How is the seat. . Padding?
The Japanese phrase you mentioned is Jinba Itttai. The union of horse and rider. I just want to mention that I have been watching your videos for the past few weeks and really enjoyed them, and I’m now a subscriber! I also have a ND3 (RF GT automatic, my second ND) and all the things you mentioned are very true, but in no way take away from how much fun the car is.
Thanks for the sub! I saw this comment earlier this morning. I was trying to remember Jinba Ittai during a video I recorded today but I forgot it again lol. Forgive me
Another great video. I agree about the ergonomics and to add a bit the controls are clunky. Especially the navigation.
You have the temp set at 60 so with the top down the AC is trying to compensate. Crank it up to 72 or higher and see what happens.
The subwoofer is where the passenger's foot rests further up. Thats the cat converter
Can't deny that soul red is a pretty color, but I'm not a fan of red cars, just not my style. I prefer to stay under the radar with more understated colors. People are sleepin on machine gray metallic. It has the same level of depth as soul red, but it's more understated and sophisticated, in my opinion.
I upgraded every incandescent bulb on my ND3 to LED, including side markers, corner lights, dome, trunk and tag lights. I only spent $120 for all of them and the car looks so much better and more upscale at night.
Love the Metallic Gray! Problem is that it’s not available on Clubs. I just order a 2024 Club RF in Blue
Passengers? We don’t need no stickin passengers! That’s for what doesn’t fit in the truck anyway, right?
😆
Fk passengers. Drive solo.
You have to adjust the temperature dial to adjust the fan speed when it's on Auto. My 2015 Mazda 2 has the exact same climate control setup as the ND series MX-5.
I’m in Yosemite area as I write this-2 1/2 hour drive from sf area in my NC prht & being 64?
I feel it when I get out to gas up or potty stop.
I coulda taken my wife’s Uber plush new Explorer but pleasure over pain🎉
My only complaints on all 4 series I’ve had is the verrry understated & pedestrian sound of the exhausts.
Going aftermarket on a cat back system will be on my must haves now!
Thx Que🤝💎!!

Ha, Ha, loved your video! Just want to point out that all the things that bug you (except for not being for basketball players 🙂) are the result of all the bells and whistles added to modern cars. My old (analog) NA has none of that, just the fun! Which you described perfectly!
The Zerc-Sand is my favorite color. I call it Coffee. Nice car man, good video, good job, good honesty. About the hair, no bun for me, however, what about track days and helmets. Yep, something to consider if you're 5'11" or more. Hey, about your AUTO climate control? I now drive a new Toyota SUV, and when it's on AUTO in the summer it never slows down that fan-speed either. So don't feel bad. I just set the temperature to 73, fan-speed at 2 or 3 from the lowest and roll that way. I hate having a high-speed fan intruding in my thoughts or having a damn tornado inside my car! The noise level due to your soft top is going to happen. All convertibles kind of do that noise deal. Not much you can do about it, except to buy an RF version. I owned a 1995 L-Edition and a 2001 Sport edition, both were loud and those two cars didn't have the roofs lined either. However, not to the extreme of wanting to get rid of the car due to the road noise. NO WAY!
I know you love your car. I like it also. You got a damn nice vehicle, take care of it! Change the oil every 5K and you're set. Be safe. GOOD JOB!
I never thought about the helmet. Top down it is. The fit will be very tight with the top up. Thanks a lot! I'll make sure to do the first oil change soon.
Chances are that the reason your key fob doesn't always work is its battery life is getting low. I'd be curious to see whether your second key fob has the same issue. I'd bet it doesn't. Either way, replacing the battery will likely solve that issue.
Btw, the RF's hard top is barely any quieter than the GT's soft top with the tops up. It's only a decibel or two quieter on the highway. Barely a difference. With the tops down, however, there is a HUGE difference, and it favors the soft top. The retracted RF targa top creates a ton of loud turbulence behind your left ear, as the wind swirls around in that cavernous piece of hollowed-out plastic. The soft top doesn't do that. It's just smooth, clean air with the soft top down.
That's barely noticeable with a couple decibels. I did a video comparing the RF and my car and the RF was so loud with the top down. The wind buffeting sucked
@@QueTheChaotic Yes, the RF’s noisy wind buffeting with the targa top down really is annoying. Also, top down in the RF doesn’t give you the real Miata experience. The Miata is an homage to the classic British roadsters, which were true convertibles, not targa tops with massive blind spots and crazy wind buffeting.
The knob and e brake are not flipped for the LHD models, so based on the RHD Japanese model the brake handle is on your inside which makes way more sense.
Ah. Makes sense
If you look under the car the hump is for the catalytic converter and it really does take up a lot of space inside…sucks for the passengers !
Ah. I had people arguing in another video and they both were wrong 😆
Where do you think the driver sits in a right hand side country ? When your feet are on the pedals the hump is under your knees. You don’t even notice it.
On my 24 Miata I got the same with the A/C, it's weird that auto climate isn't "auto" but it works when you turn recirculate off. My only other thing is that the shifter when going from 1 to 2 is a little "stickier." It's not as smooth as all the other shifts, but idk if that's by design cause this my first manual. Car is crazy fun otherwise
try a new battery in your key fob. Even if the car is new, maybe they are using a crappy battery?
Indeed a new 2032 solved my issues with my key fob.
Nice video! So about the key fob, I have found, experimenting a bit, that your phone CAN interfere with the keyfob so, if you have them both in the same pocket, it CAN have some interference! Hope it helps!
I’ve never had an issue with the key fob except to replace the battery. Maybe you received one with a lousy battery? Love the car, thanks for the videos!
I was thinking the same thing. Thanks for watching
No, one of my fobs regularly gives me issues. And it's even with it on a fresh battery.
@@opmike343 maybe I’ll just swap the fob
I have a 2022 never had a key fob issue. Try setting the temp to around 68 with the auto, I think it works by checking the temp outside and depending on how hot or cold it is out there it will change the fan and temp to reach the desired temp but I do not believe there is an internal thermostat.
That cutout on the passenger side is the catalytic converter. That's the exhaust side of the engine.
Agree on the passenger side wheel well. I'm a little concerned that when I share driving duties on a long trip that my knees will cramp sitting in the passenger seat. I'm not wild about the steering wheel - it's too slick, and I wish it telescoped so I could get it closer. BTW, I'm finding it easier to enter the car head first, and exit ass first. I have the Recaro seats and their side bolsters definitely make it harder to get in and out.
Steering wheel should have been on my list. It’s too thin for me. Needs more thicc
Al Bundy time? lol
Woo! Have had the new soul red and i love it love it. Also, thought fan speed meant something in 90+ humid heat, auto everything puts out the best cooling. It'll run you outta there.
Thanks Q your unbiased opinion is always appreciated and so valuable. Thanks again
I appreciate you more!
I've had no problem with the battery powered key... maybe the battery in yours is low.
Bro your car is PERFECT! Your BLESSED 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The only problem we have had with ours is the passenger seatbelt alarm goes off when there is no one in the passenger seat. Our 2017 did it, too.
My BMW M2 did that with just my phone in the seat. It was annoying.
@@QueTheChaotic There was literally nothing on the seat. We had to keep the seatbelt clasped to get it to shut up. But, it is a great, fun, great looking little car. Love your content, BTW.
I’m definitely too tall for one of these and I throw silent shade at all of y’all. Including my neighbor who has a MX-5 hard top in that glorious red that Mazda does so well. Yeah I’m talking about you, Chuck!
😆😆😆
How tall are you? I'm making it work at 6'5", soft top sport (or club?) only. The GT is too tight for me (Grand Touring has more padding or something, the seats definitely feel "higher up". That little bit of room I need isn't there!) The sport feels like a glove, assuming the club will be the same.
The only thing is, there's not enough footwell space to left foot brake the way I know how, but I can get to it if I use my tippy toes like a fuckin ballerina
@@AcoAegis I’m an inch shorter than you, but I’ve got a large wide frame. I’m also crossing that age threshold that prioritizes comfort more than fun.
@@Mechadondada that's fair! I've always been quite skinny for my height, I'm at 210lbs currently. I do wish there were more/other affordable roadsters. Maybe when Mazda goes all electric, the extra battery weight will mean a bigger car. Might be a great car for us tall people!
@@AcoAegis I imagine Miata purists will shit bricks about electric Miatas, unless they figure out how to still make it just as fun in corners.
Def not the sub. The sub (I have removed it for a mod - then reinstalled it) is under the feet of the passenger. The bulge is for the cat.
I so hate that I don't have one yet!
In due time my friend 🫡
As the owner of a 1.5 2020 ND Miata ... take my advice bro ... PPF (front of the car bumper, hood and fenders) otherwise you are gonna be complaining about how soft the paint is a year from now.
Love your demeanor !!!! Hi from Vernon, BC Canada New subscriber
🙏🏾
I love your videos brother, I have a 2020 RF GT In polymetal gray, I love it, it was a car I wanted for a very long time and I enjoy it very much, I'm 6'2 and I fit perfect in it. I love everything about the car
On the AC, I believe if you take it to 70 the system will turn down the blower sooner... Not sure , but I think so
great video Que! Curious, what are your thoughts on having this car with a family?
Thanks a lot. This would have to be a second or third car with a family. I drop my kids off at school in the Integra and come back to swap it for the Miata lol
@@QueTheChaotic love it. Thanks for the quick reply!
I have a 2024 Mazda 3. I have the same issue with my climate control. It just blows on high and it doesn't adjust as the interior cools down and I end up taking it off of auto. I used to have a 2021 CX-5 and it didn't have this issue. So I don't know if it is a Mazda thing or not.
Regarding the key fob, I haven't had any sort of warnings while in the car, but I noticed I can't seem to pop the trunk using the release button on the bumper unless the car is already unlocked. I seem to remember with my 2020 I could do it while the car was locked and as long as I had the fob in my pocket it would unlock the trunk (only) and let me do it. Not sure if I'm remembering correctly or something has changed since then.
I'm able to while the car is locked as long as I hold it down long enough
Is there more headroom with the RF?
I can't remember
Buttons on the steering wheel would be so much nicer if they were more tactile
I think they are in other Mazdas. They just need to go into the parts bin
The keyfob won't be found if your keys are on top of it in your pocket. Mine does that once in a while.
Ah. Glad it’s not just me. I’ll jiggle them around next time
神馬痛い(Jinbai ittai). The horse and rider are one.
🙏🏾
Bro my home boy is 6,3 and owns 4 Miata’s and he races spec Miata.
Nice!
Is this your only car? Seems way too small as a daily driver, in my opinion. Comfort is critical to me. Fun car for sure but not good for long trips or a relaxed ride.
I have other cars
@@QueTheChaotic - Yep I thought so. I’ve seen your previous videos on a Mustang GT350? Or maybe a Challenger? Huge difference from this little toy. The Miata is lots of fun to driive. It’s so unique! Lightweight, amazing handling and a convertible experience. The manual is the best unless you drive a Porsche which costs several x more.
Jinbai ittai que 😃
There we go. Thanks!
The infamous key fob issue lol I can’t stand that lol my nd2 had the same problem
Man......I was hoping my battery was weak. Sheesh
@@QueTheChaotic Bro I changed the battery and still have that issue from time to time lol. Never had that before with any other car.
Nice lip spoiler, where did you get it?
It was an accessory that came from Mazda with the car
Great Video! (As always)
I was thinking, why don't you get in the car with the top down when, you have your hair in the bun? It might help you out.
Thank you. If it wasn’t 90 degrees I would have
I was thinking that as i watched but ti wouldn't demo the problem as well. Not gonna happen on a rainy day.
soul red is goated, on the used market they cost 2-5 k more!
If you just look at a picture of the underside of the car you'll see it's the cat causing that bulge.
If you turn off recirculate the fan speed will drop
Ah. Gonna try that out
Still butter tho.
It's pronounced Jimba Eat Thai. And sitting down in an MX-5 isn't obvious; I figured out that it's easier if you face away from the car and squat down onto the seat first, then turn and lift your legs as you bring them in.

Do you have an Acura integra also?
I do
Messing my hair up on the roof is a problem this bald guy WISHES he had… sigh 😂
Really interesting idea to look at the things you don’t like about your rides (even when you otherwise like a car). Might have to steal this idea for a video of my TLX. Good stuff!
Lol thank you.
Did you get rid of the Acura???!???
It’s still here
I am 6’5” can I fit?
Depends
I am also 6'5" (36 inch inseam) and I fit and can drive it with no issues. My eyes are right at the level of the sunshades. I just bought a seat lowering kit from Jass Performance and will post a video review of the kit and my experiences as a 6'5" Miata driver soon.
yo you have hella cars
Horse and rider is Jinba Ittai (Jeenba Eetaee)

Horse and Rider as one in Japanese is pronounced, gin bah ee tie.
NGL I feel like you made this video strictly to irritate me....😡 I listened to your reasons and was like "Boo This Man!!!" All I heard was " Hahaha I love this car it's amazing and guess what Race Car Friends cant fit in here, sucks to be him Hahaha!!!" Lol man this sucks I might have a surgery to shorten my legs just so I can fit in a Miata!
😆😆😆 I could see you getting a height reduction surgery
Not the same thing but Z4M supposed be more tall guy friendly idk though. Best part convertibles half the price of hardtops around 20k vs 40k. Still get manual 333 hp inline 6 that looks good
@@QueTheChaotic Lol facts!
@@AP1GO9K Might have to look into that thanks I appreciate the advice.
@RaceCarFriends no problem they're rare to see. Will need more maintenance obviously used BMW but not gonna go down in value either
Why the heck do you have a bun head?! Like your straight up reviews though.
What's the parking sign in the thumbnail say? I see the turtle, but can't make out the words. 🐢
“Please drive slowly”
@@QueTheChaotic I thought it was going to say, "Slow Cars Only Parking". 🤣
I thought it was some joke sign you had edited in. 🤣
Don't be a hater Quey
😆😆😆
Yes
Outside
YES INDEED…SOUL RED IS THE ONLY COLOR.
Wish it had a digital speed display...and perhaps an option to rev match.
With an EcuTek tune, you can set it to rev match, flat foot shift and launch control
I saw a video of a japanese Miata the interior and trunk light were led. Even the rear câmera is in another place near the lights of the number plate.👀🤔
Mazda not good for long time ride
Something to keep in mind: If you get rear-ended, that roll hoop is an immovable object.
I'm 6'5", and I've found two positions where I can drive this car. One of them, the headrest is touching the roll hoop, and the other is less comfortable, but leaves about 2" between.
Try your best to figure a way out to not have the back of the chair rest against the roll hoop (stops the annoying squeaking from rubbing too). Unless you're wearing a helmet, that hoop will wreck your head.
So funny you mention the rubbing! It took me about 15 kilometers to figure out what the rubbing sound was when it was happening to me 😂
how do you know the roll hoop crashes into the seat? there is an entire structure south of the roll hoop. i just want to know more unless you're guessing, would appreciate you sharing
Aurora design sells and aftermarket lowering seat rail. It allows to gain couple inches of headspace and also provides a more enjoyable driving position for tall people
I love jamming the TRANSmission
