    Honored to have our legendary roadster featured on your channel. Thanks to Garrett and team for taking the time to do a fun deep dive. Even though we may have already known these things, we hope some drivers were able to learn a little more about why Miata is always the answer.

    I've been pretty much daily driving a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata for the past 4 years and I love it! With a few easy bolt on mods (Flyin' Miata gang) you can get the car to ~200whp & torque- it's a blast. 200whp at 2500lbs with the short gearing makes it feel very quick around town, without needing large stretches of open road to fully enjoy the car. You're constantly shifting up and down the 6-speed, the shifts are notchy and short, the clutch is light and easy to use. While you're doing that, the car sounds like a 500 Abarth with less pops and more intake/turbo noise. I get the occasional backfire on upshifts and burbles on decel- 200hp has never felt this rowdy. Still it's not fast on long straight roads and highways; I'd say it's comparable to a Civic Type R so it's not winning drag races, but it moves out of its own way with relative ease. Plenty of power for a street car that doesn't live on the highway.
    I think a Mazdaspeed Miata might be the most fun you can have on 4 wheels at that price point (this is including the cost of the few bolt ons to make the MSM good so ~15-17k total). I'd argue it's easily up there with the S2000 in terms of fun and driving dynamics, but at half the price. The S2000 is a better track car and the MSM is a better street car, but they're comparable in terms of raw fun. The powerband is more usable in the MSM with it being turbocharged and torquey even at lower revs. Turbo noises ≥ Vtec noises too.
    They still pop up for sale every once in a while and they might be at their cheapest point ever right now. Sub 3000lbs, ICE, manual transmission, RWD, 50|50 weight balance, simple to work on, reliable, huge aftermarket... I imagine all of those are gonna be hard to find on their own in 20 years and almost impossible to find all together. They're slowly becoming classics and they're a great representation of the early 2000s era of sports cars- just before cars got safer and less fun across the board.

    What's funny about the NC MX-5 is that despite it being the heaviest generation at 1,110kg (soft-top), it's somehow still lighter than the AP1 S2000, which weighs a whopping 164kg heavier (1,274kg).
    Also, the NC was the last generation to have hydraulic steering, and while it wasn't as good as the NA or NB, the nature of it being hydraulic means it has better feedback than an electric rack, which if you look on forums is one of the few complaints S2K owners have.

    Tom Matano is an incredible designer, and a very humble man. I was fortunate enough to have met him in August of last year, where he signed my car. Mazda has some absolutely unique heritage in that car, I hope whatever the future holds for the Miata, it will be as grand as the NA was.

      @@IdealMediaChannel I love the exterior design of the NC Miata. Overall design looks cool, the proportion is "just right" to me and the NC Miata is the first Miata to feature a hard top retractable roof!! I don't care what people say about the weight. It's just 100lb more than the NB. The NC Miata has the most spacious interior compared to the others. Even though it's heavier than the NB, the engine did make up for it.
      And the another reason why I love the NC Miata is because the NC Miata is my first pick when I started to play the Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 6 arcade game!

    Even a brand new nd2 is affordable compared to the pricing of the na when it first came out when you count inflation. In a world of cars that seem to only get fatter and heavier with so much horsepower that you already breaking the law in 2nd gear ,Mazda was able to go lighter smaller with the added tech all while packaging it in a Front mid engine for that perfect 50/50 and faster with a higher redline than ever before 🤌 it's truly a masterpiece in today car enthusiast world
