- Brand New Mazda MX-5 Miata Vs Classic Cool Lotus Elise - which should you buy for £25,000?
In this video series I look at desirable brand new cars, compare them to cool classic cars and tell you which one you should buy.
In this case I recommend the awesome Lotus Elise (in S1 or S2 guise) over the Mazda MX-5 Miata. It'll cost you around the same money and is even more of a pure driver's car and very special indeed. The budget? Just £25,000 for a thoroughbred roadster.
This is my new series on #BCGBulletin as #BCGBrandNewVsClassicCool and I hope to do more of these. Would love to get your feedback and suggestions!

I aspire to a Elise, but my trusty NA mx5 is still great fun and cheap as chips to run, with nearly 400k kms on the clock it still runs like a top and has made me a much better driver over the 15yrs of mx5 ownership..i had several nissan zeds, a 944 and the mx5 is better than both of them ,for me the only place to go now is an Elise , thats the next level after a modified mx5, ...excellent video thanks..
Love your feedback and great to hear your experience, hope you get that Elise soon!
Your presentation is very enjoyable, and I love your focusing on driving pleasure above numbers and shock and awe value. I have driven my uncle’s Gen 1 and Gen 2 MX5s (or Eunos Roadster here in Japan) a few times, and they are good. I test drove an Elise and an Exige last year and found them to be on a completely different level, though. I plan to drive my Sport 240 until I am no longer able to safely operate it. I can’t imagine anything this side of a 7 being any more fun, and that’s a little too impractical.
Good choice! Totally agree. Thanks for your kind words 🙏🏽☺️
The Elise was introduced in 1996. Go out in an Mx5 , you are going for a drive. Go out in an Elise, and you have an adventure. From an ex S1 owner, now S2 owner.
Well said!
I have an S1 160 - different planet to MX5!!!!
I like you’re take on things...facile delivery. Have a sub 👍
Thanks so much! So kind 🙏🏽☺️
Your UAE review is superb perhaps one of the best I’ve seen in that it describes the experience perfectly. In terms of the MX-5 I prefer the styling and engine of the Abarth 124.
Thanks for that!
I simply agree with your argument of supercars vs natural sports cars which aligns with humans
Thank you - here's how I see it: supercars are for poseurs and proper sportscars like these are for drivers!
Now, your video has put Lotus on my radar.... 😀
Glad to hear it! LOL
Drive one - your life will never be the same!!
Beautiful review Shahzad! It's always a pleasure to watch your Elise road test. I agree with you, I too would choose Elise. The Lotus offers a feeling of greater control and is also a true, prestigious and pure English sports car. I like your idea of putting a Civic Type R engine on an Elise mk1. What a bomb that would be! Like an F1. It already won me over. I choose the Elise. Congratulations, I can't wait to see your next episode. Ps, have you ever driven an MR2, what do you think? The 2002 one resembled the Porsche Boxster mk1. Bye😃👋
Thanks so much once again. Glad you enjoyed the video and always value your comments. The last gen MR2 was my favourite, it was a lot of fun to drive and it is an absolute bargain right now - well worth picking up!
@@BrownCarGuy Great😃👍. Let me know. Bye 👍
My Westfield like the Lotus has such a connected feeling from the road to the driver and it doesn't drive like a modern car, where there is an artificial extra step involved that takes away from the whole dynamic experience of driving.
I totally get that. I have driven a Westfield- it’s exquisite!
hi, would ever make a video about the Koenig Specials ferrari, lambos with 1000ps & twin turbo setups. till now there are no new videos about the company or anything related about old koenig cars.
Not easy to get hold of! LOL. But could discuss at some point, will have a think. Thanks!
I own an Elise and an Evora ...at once the greatest sources of joy and frustration in my life 😎
And you’re right ...the MX5 is the Elan perfected
Nice one!
"The Elise has been around since 1989 (@ 5:12)". No, it was released in September 1996. The MX-5 was in 1989.
Doh! Misspoke. Sorry!
@@BrownCarGuy No worries. I figured what you did
🙌🙌
how much size difference is this compared to a Mazda mx5 ND? I have an ND , i want a similar car in size , i wanna "own" the car, be one with it
An Elise is about 10cm shorter and lower and pretty much the same width.
@@BrownCarGuy good news!
The Elise is way tighter inside. It looks a similar width, but it's wider at the rear due to being mid engine and having wide rear arches+tyres. Plus it has chunky sills which eat up a lot of interior space.
The shots with the picture in picture is a good one. The car does not seem smooth. Could be the road but seems bumpy.
It's probably more to do with the camera moving on its mount - LOL! Don't forget though that cars like the Elise are very rigid and stiffly set up, they're tuned for sharp dynamic responses rather than a comfy ride.
I'm thinking of trading my 135i n55 dct for a mx5 nd. What do you think?
I think get the Lotus!! LOL 😂 But yeah, you won’t be disappointed with the MX-5, just make sure fit!
@@BrownCarGuy yeah I think the same haha but here in Mexico is really difficult to find them
miata is always the answer
I got the Elise S1 160 best decision I ever made and they are much rarer
Great choice!
MX 5 inspired by the Lotus Elan. Perfected by MAZDA
Hahahahahahahaha bro
