    Just purchased a Grand Touring black on black soft top manual. Absolutely stunned with how much I love this car. I DAILY THIS CAR TOO. It’s definitely a sacrifice but I love leaving work everyday. Priceless. Also I went with the soft top because the RF felt more like a targa , which to me, didn’t give me enough of a convertible feel. Also no power top to give issues or extra weight. So much equipment too. Loaded car. LOVE IT.

    Design wise, I actually think this model is near perfection. It’s aggressive and sporty but still classic to stand the test of time. Shoot, it still looks fresh to me. Only area I would redesign are those tail lights. They’ve just never felt tied into the rest of the design to me. Ya, the front air vents mirror the taillight shape but meh. I think my only real desire for the next iteration to come would be a touch more accommodation for us taller folk. At 6’2, I was excited to see someone like Doug DeMuro fit, being 6’4 but eh ya…his legs were jammed up to the steering wheel and I don’t think mine would fare too much better 😕

    I sat in one at an auto convention, and being 6'2" myself I was comfortable in the MX5, my only gripe is that I wish the seat was a bit lower as my line of sight was slightly obscured by the wind shield frame. I have to agree that this car is nearly perfect.

    My only gripe with the design is the uncentered double exhaust pipe. It looks off and I'd rather have an all-around symmetric design. ULTER custom exhaust (or any middle mounted dual exhaust for that matter) cleans up the look immensely. Not to mention this way it would pay homage to classic British convertible sports cars mx5 drew inspiration from. I disagree on the tail lights. I think they have a nice design going on, especially when they light up in the night and they have that flower-like spread of led lights.

    Enjoyed your video. I am a new ND GT owner. I have a few comments for you. The GT spec does come with wireless Apple CarPlay, not sure about the version you were driving. The slot at the side that you tried to put your phone into is actually a slot for the moveable cupholders at your elbow. The passenger can simply pull one out and place it there if needed. The lightness in the seat you mentioned is true in that they are not fully upholstered and overly padded seats like in many cars. To save weight, Mazda created a sort of hammock-like webbing structure in the seats, so I think they're quite supportive, but super light. There is also a knob on the side of the seat that you can turn to raise the front of the seat. The steering is also fully adjustable, telescopic and up or down.

Mazda really takes the driving experience into consideration and has some of the best engineered vehicles for the price in the business! I love how Mazda takes drivability and quality into consideration without the high price you see in other makes like BMW, etc.

    9:40 is an alternative spot for the right-side cupholder. Duh. Do some homework first! I am an owner BTW. There's extra storage behind each seat, pull the backrest forward and you'll see. Ideal for all the small stuff you want to have onboard, but won't need/use often. And that hatefull lane departure warning - just switch it off. The car remembers, so you won't need to switch it off every drive - like in a BMW (own experience).

    Yeah people who suggest the MX-5 "needs a turbo" are way off, it's actually plenty powerful now with an N/A 2.0l 181hp. The car only weighs ~ 2340lbs (+ ~ 112lbs for RF) so the power to weight ratio is about perfect for a fun / rewarding daily driver (5.7- 0-60mph / 14.4 -1/4m.) Adding a turbo of course adds power but you're also adding weight, hurting your fuel economy, adding turbo lag, increase stress on the motor, etc. High revving naturally aspirated motors are the way to go in my opinion. Instant, linear, predicable power delivery all the way up to 7500RPMS is just so much more enjoyable than your typical turbocharged motor that resides in most cars these days. Unfortunately the market tends to get people fired up over test track numbers when in reality these test track numbers don't even begin to scratch the surface when it comes to articulating how fun and rewarding a vehicle is to drive. However, it seems more people have begun to realize that the "numbers" a car puts down doesn't necessarily mean "better" unless perhaps your actually racing your daily drivers for a living. Another thing is "ego" some people purchase cars based on 0-60mph times and so on because I guess they think other people will think they're "cool" or whatever.. Personally, I'd much rather actually enjoy my driving experience vs. worry about what other people think of my ride.
