MAZDA! 😡 PLEASE GIVE US REAL COLORS!! Something other than the color of cement and a green dirt color! Soul Red is nice but it’s time to offer other brighter choices that aren’t drab….this car deserves it! (BTW, real good honest review. I subscribed after watching. ✌️

I have a 2021 soft top in Jet Black Mica. I absolutely could not imagine driving anything else.

I have a 2021 soft top in red. Absolutely love it! Sadly I live in MT so can only drive ~4 months out of the year

This car on a fast canyon road with the top down is bliss. I didn't understand the idea behind the new asymmetric rear differential until I drove it hard in the twisties. Holy crap! it's magnificent. What an incredible car.

Rev match downshifting is unnecessary. It should let drive do that. All the time they automate things like this, going out of your way to disable it makes it redundant.

I love that Mazda is just going simple. The unnecessary amenities like rev matching and radar cruise.

In Canada, my 2024 with Adaptive Cruise Control came standard

First please allow me to say thank you for your review of the 2024 Mazda MX-5 miata Grand Touring. Now, just a couple of things, the tan nappa leather is only available if you get the snowflake white or aero gray. I'm speaking of the U.S. market. Also I love the wheels on this car. I think they make the car look very nice. Adaptive cruise control is available for the 2024 model but not in the U.S. colors are more limited in the U.S. market than in others. Finally I like this car so much I have it on order. ETA sometime in July. Thanks again for your review.

I’ve seen the tan with the red (the BEST Color) but haven’t seen a tan roof ? That would be my choice !

Love your quote! “You buy a Ferrari if you like to look like you like driving, you buy a Miata if you actually like driving”… perfect!

Picked up my ND3 GT manual 10 days ago and I can't get enough. I've put 800 miles on it already. Also, I love the new wheels, don't understand all the hate. However, I will say that I think the paint color makes a difference with the wheels. My car is machine gray metallic and it's the perfect match with these new wheels. I'm not a fan of the new aero gray, especially with the tan interior...looks wrong. Mazda needs to get their color game together.

I can't wait to own one of these one day.

Mazda MX-5 has been a hidden gem for decades. All those uneducated people who had bought Hondas and Acuras missed out. Where can you get a rear wheel drive fun car for the price.

Sad cvt integra noises, I’m fighting the urge to trade it in for either MX-5 or GR86/BRZ

I wish mazda made a 2+2 Lift back coupe based of ND Miata. Call it MX-6 and boom a perfect daily AND a weekend toy.

@RotaryJunkie

Ай бұрын

Maybe not ND-based, maybe based on the platform under the CX-70/90. By the time you extend the wheelbase enough to sneak a "+2" arrangement into the back it'd be big enough to benefit greatly from adding another 2 cylinders too.

@@RotaryJunkie That would be too much. I want an RWD Celica not a Nissan Z/BMW M2 clone by Mazda. BRZ except actually good if you like(and with a liftgate like Celica/Supra/Integra instead of sedan like trunk).

@RotaryJunkie

Ай бұрын

@@Kacpa2 Either one seems fairly unlikely. I just don't think the ND platform would scale up terribly well, as it's very "focused" on being tiny and lightweight. Not that anyone is or is planning to build an actually-smallish liftback currently. It's a segment that died around Y2K due to sales and we've done nothing but stray further. Weird that everyone will happily fulfill your liftback dreams with an SUV though...

It’ll be nice if Mazda can make a slightly bigger version of the Miata (like a new RX8)

How does this car perform and feel compared to the GR86 / BRZ? Aside from the obvious 2 seat soft top.

It's more fun and engaging, but less practical. I wish Mazda actually made a 2+2 coupe based of MX-5 finally, but they probably wont, while people seem to cricle jerk around vapourware of next "RX-7". I dont care about the rotary, i would love rwd coupe with Miata's driveline.

From what I understand, the Toyobaru twins are better on track out of the box, but the ND is a better daily (assuming you can live with the tiny size).

Heel toe down shift . You really don’t need rev matching the pedals are very close to each other

WONDERFUL REVIEW BRO 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 thank you !

It seems that color is very trendy but I hate it. It looks like glossy primer. Great car though.

Loved the outro!

That outro slaps HARD 😎

It’s on my radar as my retirement car had one years ago def going back new model looks great

As a tall guy (6’5”), these are absolute forbidden fruits. Would love to own one, without ripping out the foam in the seats. Wish Mazda would experiment with a grand tourer longer wheelbase spin off, to add a bit more cabin space and legroom.

Looks like a fun little car. Attending a 'Sack Lunch Cruise" is on my bucket list!

Loved the Highlights reference.

I kind of like that the heating, ventilation and air con controls have automatic positions for each selector and what looks like precise temperature controls or modern "auto climate" In the Mazda3 i drive, the seats and steering wheel heaters are linked to climate controls (Mazda calls it the "occupant comfort" setting) i wonder if the mx5 has the same setting.

If a cupholder did fit that 'Big Friggin Bottle', it would be super annoyingly sized for 99% of bottles used by people who aren't baby beluga sized

“Very optimistic speedometer” lmaoooo

I don’t understand this rev-matching concern, not only yours but other KZreadrs. Although I’m lazy enough to like automatic transmissions, I learned on a stick, and I’ve owned a plethora of stick-shift cars over the years. It doesn’t take much practice or skill to rev match with the throttle. Adding a “rev matcher” to the transmission just adds unnecessary complication-something else to go wrong.

Loved this review❤❤🎉🎉❤. Enjoyed the video.

Thats weird in Europe we get adaptive cruise control. But we don’t get the 2.0 anymore here. :/

these cars are gonna be worth hella money in the future.

Does the grand touring model mean the suspension is more cushy for poorly paved roads? I like the idea of a more 'racing' inspired club model, but not if it means the ride is much harsher.

Do these new ones have an AUX input anywhere?

Zack, I just read that Miata sales are really down. As a purist, I demand they keep the manual. Maybe if they add a second row, one ton of mass and a 2 speed transfer case they could steal some 'convertible' sales from Wrangler and Bronco. 😉

Those wheels are from the Mazda Cx-3?

Like a IPHONE, VERY VERY SMALL upgrades each year . It’s a WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE ❤

It's great that Mazda is still making the Miata and that it's not electric. The tan interior with color-matched panels is nice. It's about time Mazda caught up to the dull gray color. I still want a Miata as a third car. Maybe an NB. NAs are too expensive now that they've become rare but no one wants an NB because it's "the one that got rid of the pop-ups". NCs and on seem too modern, not basic enough.

I dont think the tan seats and aero gray go well together. Black and tan is the only combo that would work

Soon! I just hit 100k miles

"but a quarter inch has never mattered to anyone" Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I fit in ND roadsters, I /do not/ fit in RFs, and the difference is about a quarter inch. Maybe a half. Point being the roadster has just enough room for me to recline the seat /just enough/ to get my head off the roof while being just far enough back to get my knees out of the dash. The RF loses one "click" of the seat slider for the same recline, so my knees end up in the dash /and/ I have to duck.

when did zach sell his old miata?

I don't fit in it :/ Well, I feel very uncomfortable ....

Adaptive cruise sucks, bravo Mazda 👏

It needs wider wheels, tires, lowered ride height, bigger muffler, and a factory rear spoiler imo.
