FINALLY UPDATED! | 2024 Mazda MX 5 INFOTAINMENT REVIEW
This is a companion video to the full review we did on the all new refreshed 2024 Mazda MX-5 MANUAL GS-P ("Club Sport").
I now love this little car and think it is the most engaging driving experience money can buy (that you can still somewhat use everyday and that doesn't cost more than condo).
And now, I want to show you that the infotainment has finally been updated to modern standards! Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are touchscreen for those who prefer working the infotainment that way, over exclusively using dials and buttons that aren't conveniently placed in this not so spacious cabin.
Let's go!

This car shocked me! 2024 Mazda MX-5 Manual Full Review
มุมมอง 17Kหลายเดือนก่อน
I go to Mazda Canada to pick up a new refreshed 2024 MX-5 Manual for the week. I was blessed last year to be able to borrow an RF, which I thought I'd prefer since I own a small light weight coupe, but I jumped at the opportunity to drive the car that shocked me in refreshed convertible form this year! I never understood why people liked this unassuming, relatively inexpensive little sports car...
Back in the game! | 2024 Subaru WRX TR (RS) Manual Review
มุมมอง 1.1Kหลายเดือนก่อน
I go to Subaru of London to review the 2024 WRX TR (RS here in Canada) to see if the price jump is worth it. I remember the "TR" from the early 2000's when is was made for younger car enthusiasts like myself. We just wanted the price low enough to get into the car and we'd worry about tuning it after myself. Whereas now, the "TR" is one of the most expensive trims and comes stock with a lot of ...

    You are driving a club with the brembo ,recaro bbs wheel, package. Nice car! My question to Mazda is why build a package that costs $4500 usd, and the car rolls around corners like a drunken sailor? Stiffen up the suspension to use all the great parts properly. I cant justify the cost of a 24 because of the expence for me to correct the handling issues. Suspension, and exhaust, around $3000 usd. For me, better to buy a 19-21 car. I had a 90, 92 autocross car, and a 93LE. All handled very well.

    Hi , Do you think the direct injection will be an issue ? Probably the only concern I have before I pull the pin and get one ?

    • @Neutralreviews
      @Neutralreviews 28 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Good question. I'm not an expert, but like many realize direct injection can cause carbon buildup on the valves. This is because with direct injection the fuel is delivered directly into the cylinder, unlike port injection, where the carbon gets flushed away off the valves by the new fuel being injected into intake ports first. That said, I believe some engines have gotten better at it than others including Mazda. I haven't really heard many major complaints about MX-5 engines of the last few years (other years may be ok, I just wasn't paying attention then). It might be helpful to comb the forums if you haven't already. Maybe others who have owned one can comment. I would never want to spend someone's money (especially now a days) but I don't think for this car - don't quote me - it might cost $1K to clean but from my understanding only every some many years. Nothing in life is perfect so I think with how relatively affordable they are used or new, the probably low overall maintenance cost being a small Japanese car, the huge community of parts and support around the car, not to mention the fact that I personally think it is the best car money can buy for engagement and value, you should do it.

    I bought 2017 used GT RF with only 7400km for $24k in Wayne Gretzky’s town last month. Practically brand new. I have 5 cars including VW GTI. Both GTI and MX5 build for driving. Amazing cars.

      Nice line up! Two of my favourites. I can't tell you how much I like the MX-5 now!

    With such a high take rate for the manual, it's a dumb move to axe it. Now all those would-be buyers are only going to have choices of si, wrx or elantra n. though i am guess those choices won't be around much longer either. Shame.

    Good review but I think you set a record for mispronounciation. It's Aston Martin, not Austin. FYI

    So is it correct that the only purpose of the drift mode is to allow the driver to do these drifts? As in, it’s not a driving mode one would use for going down the road, but just for fooling around in a parking lot? That is bizarre.

      Lol. I know. I have a RWD car and this seems silly. You can definitely drive in that mode (all it does is routes more power to the rear than the front and reduces the nannies). It was fun and great that it can do it when others can't but still not a rwd;)

      @@Neutralreviews I am older and don’t follow all this business about drifting and launching, but it seems this is something that many auto enthusiasts are really into. I just enjoy shifting through curves. Where I live there are ‘road take overs’ where groups of youth take control of an intersection or even the freeway, and do this sort of thing. Not at all my interest, but there is a whole generation of people who grew up watching Fast and the Furious, and this is a desirable feature for them. It’s very interesting how the popular culture influences automobile design (and you can also see that in the now profile tires), which were not a thing when I was young.

    Great review. Never heard anyone else mentioning anything about negative camber. Two questions please: 1. Are you able to please provide the link to that document you showed with all these details like the negative camber. 2. I’d be interested to know, like when you mention there was maybe half an inch longer wheel base to the new model, is something like that considered negligible or important for ride stability, or for whatever it’s for. Same with the negative camber, those are interesting observations, but I don’t know so much what that results in, means, etc. This is really an excellent review, very informative and enjoyable.

      th-cam.com/video/GU92h1hez_8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=nDaC97Lrw4aa-P91 Great questions (and thank you for the kind words). This is a link to one of my favourite car channels that get more into the engineering. That's where I got that info from (screenshots). The longer wheelbase is better for providing more interior space and a better more stable feel when travelling straight like on a highway. Downside is, the longer wheelbase makes it slightly less agile. The camber points the wheels in a way that helps the car go around a corner better like hockey players lean when turning. The R last gen or this has to be one of the best all around vehicles out there. Really tough balance on all these pieces but VW seems to do them well for the R.

      @@Neutralreviews Thank you very much for the link and explanations. Yes, I really enjoyed the review and unlike most of the others I’ve seen, I learned some new things. I bought this car about one month ago, because it was the last opportunity to get a manual transmission vehicle that’s AWD, sporty and comfortable, and lower price than these something like a BMW, or what not that also fits this description. I am coming from driving a motorcycle, not another car for about 15 years and love the Golf. I don’t care about the launch control or drifting, but love up and down shifting through curves. I am grateful for it, but my nitpicks are the buttonless user interface for climate and stereo. This requires the user to takes eyes and attention off the road. I also really don’t like the bulk of the seat’s headrests; I am used to swiveling my head for lane changes, and these things really block visibility. One other point is this lane centering feature. As a motorcyclist, I am always on the very edge of the lane (so as to be able to respond if someone changes lanes into me), with the Golf, I had on several occasions, it would take control of the steering and shift me over into the center of the lane. I did not like that behavior at all and saw how to disable it. It is a very nice car. Back in 1994 I had a 1989 VW Fox for a little while, but am not a VW enthusiast or anything like that. I just wanted a nice manual car before they stopped making them. I really enjoy this car. It’s very fun and comfortable to drive.
