The problem i see is that a few of the cars on this list cost more than a miata, which is keant to be a fun low budget highschool type of car. Alot of these other options cost way more
the Miata would be a good cheap first car, or for someone like me with a good daily already the miatas lower cost and the ease of working on it make it way appealing for someone like me looking to learn more about cars, and maybe hit the track/mountains without hurting my bank account too hard.
My list: Toyota MR2 Autozam Az-1 BMW z3 Honda s2000 1st gen Porsche Boxster Audi TT Nissan 350z FRS/BRZ/86 Edit: BMW z4 and delsol and my goal was to keep then affordable
@Bl00dShark cayman its not that affordable, it is more practical because reaching to the engine bay is much easier then removing the soft top on the boxster but good condition cayman with ok mileage you cant find under 17-18K.

Well if you have much money experience and skill to buy cappuchino+swap hayabusa motor in it, i think it would be better if you build miata(k20/24 turbo swap 1jz swap built rotary swap...) and all this miata variants would be 5x cheaper and faster than hayabusa+cappuchino
The reason us Miata enthusiasts don't look for alternatives is because there isn't any. The Miata is one of the most well balanced cars in the world and you can't beat it
Always happy to hear someone giving love to the Z3. Picked mine up for $600 usd with 235k. Runs great every day of the year and fun as hell to drive. Nice work mentioning the 944 too.
The Mazda MX-5 (as it's called over here in England/Europe) is considered a hairdresser's car. A girl's car basically. Same with the older Audi TT's, fiat 500, certain colours of mini's and the modern shape vw beetles.
The car that opened my eyes to buying a sports car was my (old) friend's Fiat X1/9. Truly a sad, rusty piece of work but the look, the targa top and the pop up lights grabbed me and set me on my long path of small sports cars (including my '92 Miata)
Love your vids , but lets be serious , none of this cars but porsche are not even close to the price range of the miata , i got an 99 nb for 2.2k in europe , idk other cars around that price for what it offers:)
Out of all of these, the Miata still trump's them in reliability-except for the Honda Beat...which is the one I'd buy. I wish you had added the Suzuki Cappuccino to the list though. It's at 25 years old now and it's pretty cool.
My 2010 Kia Forte SX(Sport) weighs in at 2800lbs and makes 174 horsepower. Theres your alternative. It took care of me through every gas pedal stomp for over 5000 miles now in the past 60 days. And it features a manual transmission option whenever you want with no clutch pedal. Just slap the stick to the right from drive. What a fun car
I really can’t take you seriously with that hair. My 94 Miata with matching hardtop, power steering, power windows, leather, cruise, AC, 5 speed cost me $2,000. It’s got 130k miles and qualifies for antique car tags. It may not be fast right now but it’ll be a good budget track car when I’m done with it.
I owned a 951 (944 turbo) it was a living nightmare. the car was on jack stands for longer then it was ever running. The trans axle transmission was a pain to deal with, the clutch was a huge pain to change, my wastegate rusted shut and the car would constantly over boost. The "up pipe" wraps around the bell housing and earlier years and would require the engine to be lifted to be loosened before the bell housing could come off. This car is the car you would recommend to someone you really secretly hate yet they don't know you hate them yet. It will probably ruin their life.

Let's see... The BMW Z3 is a direct competitor of the MX5 as it was released to be a roadster after the 1989 Mx5 release and its success. Is it better? Eh.... if you like complicated and expensive maintenance. Can be maintained a little cheaper if you source parts. Frs/BRZ couldn't be considered because... it's not a roadster. Omitting that, it is a good alternative to a roadster if convertible isn't your think. Same deal with the 944. The Fiat 124.... is an MX5. Like the J29 Supra is mostly BMW, the Fiat is mostly Mazda... with the exception where it counts. The engine is still prone to failure. We're talking less than 20k miles failure. While the reports aren't widespread and may be limited to just one subtype, they exist and is worse than a failed transmission. In addition to these flaws, the 124 is slower than the ND MX5. The 986 Boxster is another direct competitor however the car puts more emphasis on luxury and less on sport. In addition, comparing it to the MX5 the steering wheel feels like a 70s car... a lot of effort required to turn this power steering car. Talking sometimes two hand, definitely not just fingers... and in addition to the increased effort the 986 has, it also has increased travel. Two full rotations of the steering wheel to do a U-turn versus the one in an MX5... using 3 fingers. A fun fact is out of all the cars released after the first Miata MX5 to try to be like it, only the Boxster and Z4 remain. Mercedes just canned the SLK this year, the 124 clone is scheduled for removal, S2k has been dead due to sales folding in half for 5 consecutive years, the Sky/Solstice didn't get enough support and died... If you were to list cars being a good alternative to a roadster, namely the MX5, the 944, the Boxster are good listings but you're missing the Elise and the Exige, which outperform every car on this list. Another good alternative for collecting is the MR2. Wouldn't list the S2k as most are more expensive then the new MX5 unless beaten to death, and they're slower than the ND2 MX5 in every aspect stock for stock.
Great choice of Miata alternatives. I personally like the Toyota GT86 and Porsche 944. Other Miata alternatives include the Lotus Elan, Chevrolet Camaro 1LE, Audi TT, Pontiac Solstice, Saturn Sky, Mercedes Benz SLK, Honda S2000, Chevrolet Corvette C5, Mazda RX7, Nissan 350Z, Caterham Seven, BMW Z4, Lotus Elise, Toyota MR2, MG MGB, BMW Z8, Triumph TR6 and TR7, Shelby Cobra, Pontiac Fiero, Nissan 300ZX, Nissan 240SX, Toyota Supra, and Suzuki Cappuccino. Great video 👍🏾👍🏾.

Run away from both of those. Both have counterintuitive technology that will be your downfall as your first car. What's your budget? And what kind of car are you looking for? Are you a handy mechanic?
@@calincampbell5637 I am a mechanic, I have taken classes, budget is tight at around 6k, what about a 2001 dodge dakota sport or a 2008 mercury grand marquis ls?
@@chromemustang are you looking for a car with style, a car with class, a car with power, a unique car, or just a good dependable car? I wouldn't buy anything made by dodge for reliability especially a 2001 but a grand Marquis is a good all around car. It has the 4.6 modular v8 that the police interceptors have so it's stout, powerful, and reliable. Being a grand Marquis makes it more luxurious than it's ford counterpart, and also makes it a little more special. Parts are cheap, design is simple and easy to work with, it's got the simplicity of an older car but the age of a newer one. How many miles does it have?
@@chromemustang yeah if it were me I would take that one especially if it's owned by an old lady 😂 just check oil and tires and all the stuff you probably already know. I've always wanted to own one as I hear nothing but good things about them but lack of a manual transmission turns me off
Issue with the Z3, very lacking in modding options performance wise. The miata has a much bigger community for modding, but if you’re a base car kind of guy then I would say the Z3 is a great idea to just enjoy a fun car with an awesome interior (but much more maintenance costs as well)
ek/eg civic hatch is the only alternative if we're talking price but finding one that's not riced will be hard although if you're up for the challenge you can get the riced ones and make it a proper civic Others S2000 (rising in price) Brz/86/frs (still quite expensive, but barely needs mods if you, want to track it other than a header and tune to eliminate torque dip) Porsche boxster/cayman/944 (you might find one as cheap as the miata but the repair and maintenance wont be as cheap) Bmw 3 series/z3 (same with Porsche the maintenance is not cheap) Cappucino/beat or any other kei car (you'll have to import which means additional payment)
My list: Honda S2000 S195 Mustang Foxbody Mustang/Capri Chevy Corvette C5 Toyota MR2 Honorable mention: Dodge Viper (second generation). All cars mentioned on this list is RWD and either American or Japanese.
The thing nobody understand about the miata is that it came ONLY in roadster form. As the engineers said, if you make roadster out of coupe, it will become really heavy roadster, on the other hand, if you make coupe out of a roadster, with all the extra metal, stiffnes of the chassy etc. It will become really heavy coupe. The mazda chief engineer of that time was a god.
Second honorable mention, maybe... The Honda del Sol. It’s not rear drive, but it has Honda dependability, it’s very lightweight and efficient, it has tons of aftermarket fun stuff and if you’re well over 6 feet tall like me, you can fit in it, unlike a Miata or S2000. You’ll miss the true sports car aspects, but the DOHC VTEC models will allow you to be distracted.

@@chromemustang yeah if it were me I would take that one especially if it's owned by an old lady 😂 just check oil and tires and all the stuff you probably already know. I've always wanted to own one as I hear nothing but good things about them but lack of a manual transmission turns me off
This is by far the most underrated car channel on youtube. Love your content bro!!
Straight 6 in the Bimmer mate
Yeah this Chanel is the best I for once love an Toyota MR2😂😲 But keep the good work up and waiting for the Ideal shirt can't wait..👌😭😭
Whats your name buddy ? You're a good talker and an impressive presenter as well...!
I got myself a 90's miata manual clean title and souped up lil by lil
I like how he starts it off with an fed behind him un ironically
Miata is always the answer and sorry bro but the people who own miata can't afford bmws soo miata gang strong!
Nice selection.
Brad: What is your favorite Miata alternative?
Me:Miata
Issue with the Z3, very lacking in modding options performance wise. The miata has a much bigger community for modding, but if you’re a base car kind of guy then I would say the Z3 is a great idea to just enjoy a fun car with an awesome interior (but much more maintenance costs as well)
ek/eg civic hatch is the only alternative if we're talking price but finding one that's not riced will be hard although if you're up for the challenge you can get the riced ones and make it a proper civic
Others
S2000 (rising in price)
Brz/86/frs (still quite expensive, but barely needs mods if you, want to track it other than a header and tune to eliminate torque dip)
Porsche boxster/cayman/944 (you might find one as cheap as the miata but the repair and maintenance wont be as cheap)
Bmw 3 series/z3 (same with Porsche the maintenance is not cheap)
Cappucino/beat or any other kei car (you'll have to import which means additional payment)
Yeah bro ill have a ton of fun looking for parts to put in my honda beat
Best mazda miata alternative is mx 5
Thats why i bought one
Porsche 944 is the most interesting car of those 5
A basic 944 is just so underwhelmingly slow...
I like how he says Miatas are everywhere but the thumbnail is a BRZ, and let me guess the rpf1 is most unique wheel
I can’t wait for this video
My list:
Honda S2000
S195 Mustang
Foxbody Mustang/Capri
Chevy Corvette C5
Toyota MR2
Honorable mention: Dodge Viper (second generation). All cars mentioned on this list is RWD and either American or Japanese.
For how much Brad talks about Porsche. They need to come in with that sponsorship. 😂😂
Facts 😂
The thing nobody understand about the miata is that it came ONLY in roadster form. As the engineers said, if you make roadster out of coupe, it will become really heavy roadster, on the other hand, if you make coupe out of a roadster, with all the extra metal, stiffnes of the chassy etc. It will become really heavy coupe. The mazda chief engineer of that time was a god.
You are about to have the wrath of Miata club boycotting you
Hey guys, welcome to my video. Today, we'll be going over cheap miata alternatives.
Starting out with a Lamborghini Aventa-
Top miata mods!!
A Miata is a class of its own. Anything else that is better is a more expensive option
This dude is like the Ali-a of cars
Almost bought a used 944 in the 80's, but got a RX-7 instead. Again, cheaper, newer, and MORE RELIABLE.
Second honorable mention, maybe...
The Honda del Sol. It’s not rear drive, but it has Honda dependability, it’s very lightweight and efficient, it has tons of aftermarket fun stuff and if you’re well over 6 feet tall like me, you can fit in it, unlike a Miata or S2000.
You’ll miss the true sports car aspects, but the DOHC VTEC models will allow you to be distracted.
