Cars are more than just transportation. This channel focuses on all of the reasons we love, hate, and ultimately buy or sell cars.
I cover interviews and reviews from the perspective of buyers and prospective customers, as well as some content on my own vehicles and maintenance tips.

Maybe you have worn-out cluch ?
I really liked your review of this vehicle. I have a 2012 xc60 3.2 6Cyl. FWD. 159k mi. This is my 1st. I love the comfort as well as the interior. I must say, the ride for a vehicle of a "Luxury Vehicle Class" is rough. I can feel the smallest cracks in the road. Also, there is a weird Left hand turn accelerator pause or no response while in the turn. I also have experienced the oil burn you talk about however, I've only had the vehicle for 1 year. This vehicle does have a dipstick for the oil, I have also had to add a quart occasionally. It is a nice looking vehicle and does have great safety ratings. Overall, I feel the performance and some transmission oddities may have me selling this vehicle soon as well.
Nice Video!
I haave a 2013 and I love it. I think it is by far the best looking Miata which is why I bought it. For me it has plenty of power and great handling.
@@user-ss8zw2je3n I’m starting to feel that too! The styling is really growing on me :)
I was looking for a BRZ/370z but then I found my 08 PRHT for a good price and I bought it. Initially i was planning to just do maintainance and fix the paint to flip it, but I cant find anything better for a reasonable price and its growing on me. I was planning to sell it next year, but I think youre right about prices going up in the future so im gonna keep it a bit longer
LOVED THIS VIDEO THANK YOU
the first hose was the overflow. that's just to direct it somewhere when the car overheats and the coolant boils. Also there's hose clamps to clamp those shut, works way better than your tape. 😅 the tank going yellow also isn't an issue, just looks.
Bruh why didn’t you let me know, I got funnels for days😄😅
Just worked for me 🔥
Also, with 3D printers on the rise. What parts do you need again?
Thanks man. It tooks me 10 min only. And I used regular size screwdriver and big zip ties:) Works great!
1:01 pull down the wind deflector and it’ll make it easier to reach for the top. Also helps to have it down when the tops up for rear visibility
Yea those rear view mirrors de-laminate I had to replace the one on mine when I bought it.
@@bubba99009 Ahh delaminate! That makes sense I was wondering what it is!
Subscribed. I have a 2013 GT PRHT I bought 6 months ago. Your video is spot on, The NC gen is 90% of the ND with the hydraulic steering of the NA/NB for 35-50% of the price. Not to mention it has the most reliable transmission compared to the ND. The 2009+ versions have forged internals and increased redline in the MT versions. I bought mine personally because I don't think manual transmissions will be a thing in 10 years and the Miata is one of the most fun cars I have ever driven. Its not fun to rev out a corvette for 3 seconds and be at arrestable speeds. Anyways keep the videos coming and check out my channel for similar NC content.
Basically nothing is wrong with it except the wheel 😄miatas are simple and reliable.
Love my 2008 PRHT. Just a treat to drive and a blast to own.
08 PRHT & Beck 550 Spyder. : )
e
Test drove a 2007 nc prht 6 speed and had to have it. Love it . End of story.
Pros-total pkg, Lincoln towncar interior, bass boat handling, comes with Gilligan/lil’ buddy- dates with Tina Louise & Dawn wells😂 I’ve owned all 4 this is the best!🎉 Cons-best car I’ve ever had n I’ve had em all at 64! Btw I’ve owned lotta fiats & xwives! The worst😂
Totally agree. I just bought a 2014 GT PRHT 6 speed and I love it. It's not ugly at all; it definitely has aged well. I felt like I paid a little more than I originally wanted to, but I do think they will hold their value well. Nice video; thanks.
Turn radius wouldn't except that in a small car !
I have a 2010 myself (hard top 6 speed) I absolutely love it and I’m never getting rid of it😊
aint got no popups tho
Really well said! I have an ND myself, but I never understood the NC hate. I subbed so I could be your 1000th 😂
Thank you!! I kept checking lol thanks for being a milestone sub!
I just gave it a few hits with a hammer to make the gap smaller.
The NC IS the real Miata. On my fourth but an NC2. Just 1600 miles when I found it.
Im on my third Miata second NC. The ND is too cramped for me.
Thanks to IPD 👍🏾
Thank you 🙏🏾
I bought my first NC1 in December, put on 4500 glorious miles & sold it last week for a nice $1500 profit. 😅 It was painfully sad selling it though...
Thanks for the video, totally agree. Haven't got my license for that long yet (germany) but had a couple of cars already. Started out in a 2013 Smart, sold that and bought a BMW E92 325i with the 3l N53 and now sold that and will buy a NC Miata. Hopefully it doesnt treat me like my bmw did
When you drove 60mph and up did your steering start to shake
Haven't finished the video but the NC is in an interesting position. They are the sweet spot for being single owner cars, the people who bought them are moving onto something else or getting rid of them for whatever reason and you can find everything from the old man garage queen (fair weather only driving, but poor maintenance) to the well used and maintained everyday driver, to bagged out units the owner really enjoyed and should be really cheap. The majority I see locally are really clean examples with low mileage. I would say the ND is the better car overall if you can swing it even with the early models (nearly 10 years old now!) but the NC is a slept on car. A nice bonus is that it a car made just before everything went crazy digital with screens and such, so you are getting a pretty simple machine that should age well. And even as the "biggest" MX5 it is still tiny compared to almost anything else on the road today. Personally I am not looking for a project car so a new ND is probably in my future, but I would be hard pressed to say no to a clean NC.
Having had an nc1 in college and now currently owning 2 nc2(the onr with forged internals stock) i have to say it is an amazing platform with huge aftermarket support. Absolutely love them and will keep them ad long as i have room. I cannot say enough about these.
I am the one with the clean NC. …but I either want that ND or give my NC a facelift and make over ❤️
Great video and I believe it helped with our cooling issue. I will monitor but thank for sharing. :)
Bullet proof motor, highly modifiable, all at a great price. I have had a blast making this my project car over the past few years. Enjoy your new ride, and if you want know talk what kind of project you can get yourself into, send me a message. 2013 NC Copper Red GT.
can't wait to pick up an nc this summer! nice video
you won’t regret it😈
oh for sure, i already know 😎 currently planning to check out an 06 grand touring, hopefully it all checks out and i can get it! my dad had a 2010 nc which i unfortunately totaled last year after fishtailing in 0 degree weather :( but now i'm looking forward to get back on to the miata platform 😁
They are banging. Such a great way to get to work.
Hi, what is the yer of your car? Im trying to find roof racks for my C30 and volvo have only curved ones available. I need mine specifically for surfing and not sure whether curved is a hood option
I appreciated the video; I was recommended new control arms by mechanic. Your video was edited well for comparison; I def need mine replaced; 171k mi Impreza. Thanks for video
Hell yeah
Bruhh im getting abt 10.2 mph
You completely talked me into the Miata platform.. and now I’m thinking of a completely different car😂😂 what have you done to me amrin
Something to consider when sticking solid items to mesh is that mesh itself doesnt have a huge surface area to stick to. You are literally sticking items to strands of wire. One way round this is to take another piece of tape and sandwich the mesh between the two pieces of tape. So your emblem from the front and another piece of tape from the back. The adhesive on the tape will stick to each peice very strongly and will never come off
Good luck finding a clean NC for $10K these days.
I found one bout 300 miles from where I love, it's like 5 hours drive but I'm going this weekend, 2012 GT trim 36k miles at $14k. Clean too
Scuba Steve long as you can use the internet you’ll find one
Who needs luck? I wanted and I found it. Around that same price. On an even better note: this needs to be a secret lol
Ha, don't keep telling everyone. Yes agree with allmost everything you said. The nc mx5 is a truly superb sports car. John. In the UK.
I wanted to say that this video actually helped my 2014 GLK250. My parking break would get stuck and I would had to pull up with my hand with an extremely huge amount of force. Now after spraying some WD40 the pedal retracts just fine without any difficulties
Glad to help!!
Its a nice car but get the auto, nobody will know how to drive manual in 10 yrs
KZread comments are notorious, but this has to be the most stupid one i’ve ever seen.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂no
That's crazy.
Is this for a 2009?
Yup!
people sleep on the corvettes. They are these class of cars on steroids.
Miata is more fun. But if people are ~6 feet tall then I would understand lol
I agree if youre talking about C4 or C5, but the rest are either classics or still have a huge price tag. Early base model C6s are also cheap but anything else i guarantee you people are not sleeping on
Awesome vid -- but my heart always goes back to C5 corvette which you did not mention. It is a much more serious car but has all the pluses of a miata. It even gets better highway mileage if you can believe that. Now, C5's might be a bit more maintenance considering their age and cost of tires etc, but they are at least twice the car of a miata. When I cross shopped Miatas & Boxsters 4 years ago I ended up with a Boxster S but that car is gone now. Time for the Vette to take its place. However, I still keep my pulse on the Miatas. Just throwing it out there for yall. If you want to track a car CHEAP - Miata is the ONLY answer.
Thanks for your comment Drew! I definitely want to check out a corvette i’ve heard too many good things about them. I’m glad you commented here so anyone looking through can consider them as an option!
