Only the front two seats are heated? 😝
What you are hearing and seeing is the ABS kicking in a correcting a slide or skid, it's not the tires. The tires add grip, the correction you see is ABS.
it probably didnt fishtail because you didnt turn the traction control off so it felt the slip and cut power
That and he's running winters, not summers. ;)
@@RobertLeBlancPhoto lmao you can still fishtail with winters
@@RobertLeBlancPhoto I can induce a slide on all seasons on a dry summer day. He can do it on snow with any tires. You cannot slide with traction control on.
Work at a Mazda Dealership here in Minnesota. Can confirm that touch screens in all the new Mazdas only work under 5mph otherwise you have to use commander control or voice commands.
Adam Rhudy when is android auto and carplay coming?
Which one do you work at, i may be picking one up fairly soon.
Any word on Android Auto capabilities?
@@AaronSalcedo You can get Android Auto and Apple carplay by replacing the two USB connectors. Mazda made a replacement package. I think it would be around $300.
Adam Rhudy Do you see any Miatas out in the winter? I also live in MN and am wondering if I could keep using the Miata with winter tires. I like the Miata but I don't want to have to use another car in the winter.
All you had to do was shut off traction/stability control (button on the left) if you wanted to drift so bad. I love the tire view by the way, thanks for that. I'm in a 16 MX-5 on winter tires and it's working out so far. Love this car.
Why are americans surprised that winter tires have good traction on snow?In some EU countries it's mandatory by law to have winter tires from nov till april/march.All-season tires are rarely bought in EU, because they are rubbish.They are not good in the winter and not good in the summer.
There is no snow in America.
@@TeensierPython Have you ever been to the north east?
@@victorkanuik9050 there is no snow, thats why they are so surprised when there is snow every year lol
As a developing country , we learn from our mistakes.
watched 2 videos and so far you are good to listen to and likable. Good job
"drifting" with traction control on
Very impressive... this proves it's all about the right tires.
I drove a 1995 Miata all year round for 3 years in Denver, Colorado. No traction control or LSD and it was still good in the snow. It was better with winter tires than our Kia Soul (FWD) with decent all seasons.
agree with some of the other comments. the gripping sound is the abs kicking in for the traction control. turn them off next time and you'll have more spin.
Recognized the Blizzaks as soon as the video started. Had a set on my Evo X and they were amazing.
I have the miata 2005 generation and I have to say that the snow tires is the biggest think to consider in the winter. The drive is excellent in snow even if I have rain tyres.Easy to drive and have fun as well. The problem with all vehicles is the ice when the temperature drops low. Even if you have a suv, the car slides like sleigh glider
i do like the camera angle on the rear tire. cool to see the snow come off the tire
Over xmas break I drove across country ca to NY and back on summer tires. Some snow and black ice. Handled fine.
I drove a 98 miata all winter in norther Japan one of the snowiest places on earth. Same blizzak tires They do the job in the snow for sure but nothing a little clutch kick can't solve LOL
Nice review. are going to change the tyres after the winter for standard tyre's.
I had the mx5 mk1 great car.
Do you think the LSD in the Club would help out with winter driving? Or would it just make your rear end break loose more often?
Are these standard tires or do you have to purchase them separate?
Great video
Typically there is a recommended temperature floor in flipping the top down. Check the operators manual.
I want to see it driving on the hilly roads please.
I'm putting a set of Blizzaks on my '16 ND today. I'm hoping that they, with an extra 100 pounds in the trunk, will get me through this NH winter. Basically, if I can get out of the driveway, things are good here, the roads are well tended in NH.
3ducs how did it turn out? Looking to buy an MX-5 but have been really cautious due to our NE winters
@@devincutting3198 same here
I'm curious as well. I'm in Toronto, sometimes it warms up, melts the snow and refreezes them. My only scare is black ice. But I want another sports car to the garage 😂😂 I'm suppose to justify he Miata as a winter beater to my girlfriend on top some other RWD summer cars that I won't drive in the winter.
1 year too late, but do not put weight in the trunk. With a car with 50/50 weight distribution the only thing you will get is excessive oversteer with weight in the trunk. Any slide will be amplified by the extra weight. With proper snow tires you will not need the extra weight for acceleration grip anyway. Hope everything worked out OK for you. Take the weight out this winter and see how much better it does.
You did not state whether this model has LSD ?
And is it possible to turn off trac/stability ?
GT does NOT have the LSD and trac/stability didnt seem to be off. That car can EASILY spin tires I have done it on sticky summer tires on a hot summer day.
How many years can the top be used? I guess there is a "time to change" after years of using it
Rudolf Kardos I’ve owned three daily drivers since 1990. The mk1/ND1 had to have the roof replaced at 10 years (about 120,000 miles) because the back window was plastic, and I never unzipped it when I put the back window down. It was driven daily and never saw a garage.
My mk3/ND3a was rarely garaged. I replaced the roof after 12 years ( about 120,000 miles); not because it needed it, but because I wanted to change the color. Bought a new aftermarket top and had it professionally installed for about $800.00 USD.
My experience: except for the plastic windows in the early models which have now been typically updated to glass), the tops are about as indestructible as the rest of the car.
Gotta top down! Just warm up it up inside and make sure the cloth isn't frozen, then you're ready to go! hahaha
I've driven my ND Sport top down in 15 degree F weather and stayed warm, sometimes too warm. People do look though.
Moving up to Wisconsin so this car looks very promising
feel sorry for u
I've always used Blizack for my winter tire. The best period! You should try them on FWD in snow. You don't need a 4WD.'
save some cash and if they fit try general Altimax! as good as blizzaks at 1/2 the price tag
I hear those are good another good one are icex 3 by Michelin
Late to the party but Nokian puts out some good tires as well
@Everyman Driver, Listen great vid but the $50,000 question is: Do you prefer manual or automatic? Looks like a ton of fun and lastly, I just realized the best thing about reviewing cars is that you don't have to worry about it getting dirty since it's not yours!! Happy Holidays~
MANUAL! PLEASE DONT GET AN AUTO MIATA.
Blizzaks on all 4 or just the rear?? Overall impressions of room for a 6'2" driver at 220 pounds????
Mark S ^ this
One word “tight” - depends on how bad you want to drive this car - it sure is fun though . . .
All 4 tires. You never want two different types on a car, especially winter tires.
Those usb ports are for audio inputs, not cell phone charging, You need a cigarette lighter adapter for that
when are u going to get a jetta gli??
Braydon Semo when the VW PR rep allows me.
Can you review the Mazda Miata hard top?
This should be the best ad for Bridgestone.
hklf The proof is in the performance :-)
Are you going to do an off-road test? ;)
While driving use the dial, it's really easy.
I hope you know how to turn off traction control
Me too
I wonder how the car has done rust wise? not on the body, but in the undercarriage of the uni-body. Specifically by the pinch welds and where the subframes connect into the uni-body, wich is the most important part of the car and the reason why mustangs and camaros go to the junk yard 7 days a week. lol. Just curious, because my mother has a 2014 dodge dart, that has been driven in the winter liquid salt for 5 years now and its showing zero signs of rust anywhere, not even surface rust.. I'm very impressed with Dodge as its the first Dodge vehicle I've ever seen rust free after 5 years.
I have a 2014 Miata in Minnesota, slid off the road with 1 inch snow on black ice, didn't see it. It was a 10 mph crash into a tree, cost 10 k to fix it.
Ouch
Can you do this in the fiat 124 spider ?
it is pretty much the same car, so yes.
@@drivingpsyche I was wanting for him to do the same video but in the fiat 124 spider. I wonder how long the Winter tires would last? I dont know because I live in san diego, and here the winter tires are special order.
Tires makes all the difference.
If you want to slide, use summers. ;)
Robert LeBlanc, winter tires are by far the best for drifting in the snow, summers are far too slow and boring, you also won't be able to drift with the traction control on, from this video, he definitely doesn't have much experience putting a car sideways, or just wanted to be careful with the press car.
John Doe
Turn off traction control.
Drifting requires traction loss.
Summers in the snow is all about traction loss. ;)
Obvious that the car systems are blinding you to the tyres ability...turn off the traction control and feel the tyres
Nope don’t turn it off. It’s there for a reason .
Dave in the settings you can override so that touch works during driving.
Take it to the off road park.
this grip thing ability from LSD (limited slip differential) and stability control not from blizzak...
You've never driven a RWD-Front Engine car in the snow, have you? Good snow tires are damn near essential.
i love the miata and could watch videos about it all day even repeatedly but god dam this was the most pointless tom johnson I've ever seen
alberto laureano Sorry dude.
@@everymandriver Living in an area where it snows, every year, this was very valuable to me.
@@everymandriver I live in snowy Canada, would you recommend an MX5 RF as all year around car. Thanx!
Take the Toyota Highlander off road in the snow.
The driving position man 🤢
I think this guy is hot
blackpool321 My wife does too, thx.
The worst camera angles i have ever seen
Cringe at resting your hand on the shifter.
