THANKS TO ALEX FOR THE NA! / mx5militia
The original 1990 Mazda Miata is an automotive legend. Today I'm reviewing an NA Miata to show you why the Mazda MX-5 Miata is such an icon in the automotive world.

Doug's the type of guy that claims he lost his virginity in the backseat of a Miata.
I wanted to like this but it was at 69.
haha nice one theres no backseat in a miata XD
nloader its almost as if thats the joke
@@buurman2635 yeah i know i just explained the joke
nloader thats usually what ruins the joke
"This is the funnest thing in the world." - Doug Demuro
"The Miata earns an 8 in the fun category." - Doug Demuro
that's a good score
Mk3golf not for the ‘funnest thing in the world’
I mean it is really fun to corner but speed damages the score. If it was something like 0 to 60 3.5 sec. it would earn perfect score.
He still needs some headroom if he finds a car, that's more fun 😅
@Juan Davila that was just an example, many cars doug given 10 to fun were about 3 seconds 0 to 60.
Doug, the type of guy to wear a gray t-shirt over a white t-shirt
Nice toaster you got there
@@Roadvergeant wdym toaster
Probably because he doesn't want his mic wire resting on his bare chest
When you’re in your C7 Corvette ripping corners on the tail of the dragon and a shitbox miata with 130whp suddenly appears a few feet from your back bumper and you have to use a pull off and let him pass
N-nani?!?! KANSEI DORIFTO
I did that to a lifted douche truck in my shitbox gc8 going up a mountain road. He'd floor it on every straight away but had to slow to a crawl for every corner which I would take at full speed. Was pretty fun.
That happens on Stunt Road and Piuma
Same happened on mount akina between r32 gtr and ae86 corolla. One with high powa and one low powa. Same here man!!👍
wafflesbro5412 It’s basic physics
Doug is the type of guy that's 6' 3" in some videos and 6' 4" in others.
NoQuarterNoMercy1 it all depends on the shoes
*I KNEW I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE NOTICED THIS!!*
The slouching
He's 6'3.5" lol
Doug, the type of guy to tower over a Roadster.
Here's the Miata bois. We finally found it. Misson complete.
Bladed Angel it's the Mazda Freaking Miata.
Bladed Angel hi
OML BLADED ANGEL
Bladed Angel hehehehejeje
Bladed Angel The Mazda freaking Miata! This deserves a video on its own on your channel bladed (Franklin)
did ChrisFix just make a cameo to remove a Miata hardtop?
Hey guys chrisfix here, and today I'm gonna show you how to remove a mazda miata hard top with one person
😂
Nope, it's the stig's californian cousin.
Tought the same hahaha
@@PierrePotonnier Yes lmao
In my opinion, the mazda miata is one of the coolest little cars on the market that are affordable, tuneable, and fun to drive...
Boost Makes them epic
But you got the name wrong
And reliable
their price is going up tho :(
@@gogobnr3291 yes theyre not even affordable anymore 🥴
when you buy a miata it's not for speed, it is for fun, comfort and reliability because miata is ALWAYS the answer!
My NA Miata is everything but comfortable
Michael Anthony their is a pattern with Miata haters, they are all insecure about their sexuality
Jody Owen Love my Toyota MR2, definitely a proper sports car
Jody Owen 1992 btw not the hideous 2000 models
Basic Design you are a disgusting disgrace of a car enthusiast
4:04 Doug the type of guy to hire the Stig just to remove a hardtop ;)
I know right. I thought it was hilarious Doug said the top was so easy to be removed by one person, then comes in the Stig to do the work for him lol
Dude thank you that’s exactly who I thought it was😂
I was thinking the very same thing, but you beat me to the commentary,
“Some say Doug DeMuro hired him purely for his many quirks and features. All we know is, he’s called The Stig!”
FYI it was Cris Fix.
@18:16 Good point about other drivers not seeing your Miata. Back when I drove a white NA Miata on the streets, I resorted to driving at all times with the headlights on to improve the chances of other drivers seeing me. I think it helped. Small, low cars like this need to be driven like motorcycles. Drive them as if every car or truck on the road is out to kill you.
Headlights don't work when you're already alongside and their mirror is above your roofline (even assuming the roof is up - rarely for us). I never sit alongside a 4WD or SUV if I can help it!
@@steved3702 im tempted to get one of those old-school twirly magnetic cop lights in amber for my hardtop...
Doug, I love watching all of your videos. I thought that I would give you a couple thoughts on the Miata. My wife and I bought a 93 Miata new in March of 93 for $16,400. It was the first time that we could afford a third car, and we've been having fun with it ever since. The Miata came in an A, B, and C package. We got the B package, which included power mirrors, but not power windows. We still have the business card of the salesman that sold it to us (he was a great guy....never had to see the manager). Our seats are a great cloth that has held up really well since new. I agree with so many of your comments, but I have a different take on a few.
The car has 116 horsepower, and while its not fast, it was really not slow for the day and the price range. The car is a traditional sports car, where lots of people can drive it at its limit...and thats really what makes it fun. You have to remember that the tires are really narrow on the car, so it isn't hard to break loose. The stance of the car is low, and my 18 year old son comments that the car is also cut low. It doesn't have high doors or framing for side impact protection, and that gives you an amazing connection to everything around you...much like the generation of british sports cars before it.
A few comments on the quirks and features. The Miata came with an ashtray in the middle, but Mazda sold different accessories to substitute for the ashtray. Mine actually had a dual cupholder substitute in a box in the trunk. The fuel filler release and the trunk release are in the center console because of theft. You have to think about the fact that in this cars era we weren't too far past when people would steal gas out of your car, so it was desirable that way. The headlights go up in the fixed position because they were trying to emulate the Austin Healy Bugeye Sprite, from which a few design cues on this car are from. The dual sunvisor is a practical method to get sunvisors to fit. The compression on my car is the same as it was when I bought it new, which is hard to believe (we drive the car a lot every summer). I haven't had to replace the clutch because the engine doesn't generate enough power to wear it out. The other fun fact is that for those of us that do these things ourselves, none of the work on this car is hard.
Thank you for your videos. I hope that you have as much fun making them as I do watching them.
Power numbers can vary from country to country. I don't know why.
And then there's the kind of number. PS, HP, BHP. They don't mean the same.
I'm just saying there's no reason to point out such small difference.
I had gas stolen out my 1990 Miata... in 2010. Sadly, we will still be in the time when some individuals will siphon your gas - until we are all driving electric.
@@greenchannelgreen Did you know the Toyota pickup trucks from the late 80's and early 90's actually had locking gas tank doors? Too bad your Miata didn't have that feature! I could be wrong, but I seem to remember the Mazda pickup trucks from that era (along with the related Ford Ranger) actually DID have this security feature!
9:15 no doug, that is to blink at your fellow miata owners at a stop light
He totally missed the blinking/winking part in the quirks segment. The fact the car can blink from the factory is one of the best quirks.
4:02 He’s not the Stig, but he IS the Stig’s quirky cousin!
Stig's quirky cousin's name is Twig. "The Twig"
He is quirky but also has features.
@@perrychamp3816 Some say : He cargo shorts are fireproof. And that he was born in the back of a taxi which, at the time, was driving around the Nuremberg ring. All we know is that he's called : DOUG!
lol

Doug, the type of guy who gives his wife’s cooking a Doug-score after every meal.
"For taste, it gets the maximum Mac and Cheese score of 1 out of 10"
"One quirk of this meal is that it doesn't have any flavor. I've never seen food that has no taste before. Weird."
This is the greatest meal I've ever eaten in the history of the universe, so it gets a 7 out of 10.
Honey, do that again and ill want a divorce
Peristrojka thats to funny 😂😂😂😂
I've had my 2000 Miata for exactly 19 years. It's a daily driver and I assure you, it never gets old or monotonous. Due to the gearing, it's loud and high strung on interstate trips, but you take the bad with the good because of how fun it is. It's also surprisingly practical, something you wouldn't think unless you owned one. Even after two decades, this car flicks like a booger from a 5 year old's finger, and begs to be flogged hard like a masochist.
Give it to me baby.... uh huh uh huh!!!
Ah, so it's a closet freak as well. 😂
no matter how slow this car is it will draw a smile across my face more than any v6 mustang will
This car is a DREAM if you can buy one im telling you it will be the best car you will ever drive
[SoS Lurza Sub 2 pewds] im going to save up and buy it as my first car
@@Ram-rm2gz u won't regret it 😁
@@Ram-rm2gz me too! XD
But its between the Toyota Corolla and Mazda Miata
I want one but I'm still not at the age of owning a car, almost though
Ive always heard good things about these cars,reliability and fun factor
As a owner of a convertible and a previous owner of 2 other convertibles (not Miata's but the same applies) all i can tell anyone that wants to buy one, Miata or not, is this ....DON'T EVER buy a convertible if you dont have a place to put it... EVER, always remember this,a window is around 120 dollars installed,a convertible top? about 400 dollars just for the top,another 900 dollars to install it (most Convertibles)
So......., if you live in a apartment and or you dont have a cool place to park your ride,dont buy one, do your self that favor and wait for a better time in your life when you have a nice place of your own,just some friendly advice because anytime you piss someone off (mailman,exgirlfriend, old use to be buddy,the local nutcase) that little top and a razor blade will have a meeting and you wont like it AT ALL, i should say your wallet wont like it, ha ha ha, if you can find a convertible with a hardtop thats the way to go but these tend to be very expensive. Convertibles are fun as hell but remember the things that come with owning one.
Great, now they're gonna shoot up in value. Couldn't you wait until I bought one Doug?
Ismail Emre Akcan FR
Ismail Emre Akcan in Europe they already rising.
I'm in the middle of buying one right now lol, could you have waited doug?
Doug can single handedly raise the price of a car

Some say, he's the type of guy to take his girlfriend to Carmax to get an offer on her. And that he got straight 10s in the weekend category. All we know is, he's not the Stig. He's the Stig's Quirky Cousin.
Some say, he carries his hard top around so no one will recognise him in public and that he uses it as a modesty screen while taking a leak on the side of the motorway. All we know is he’s called shhhhhh...
that is hilarious
*Crossovers we never expected but we all knew we wanted*
Had to read that in clarksons voice😂
Some say he has read the owner’s manual of every car and knows every quirk of the car industry. Some say that he secretly drove a Kia for 4 months without telling anyone.
15:30 Doug with the same expression on his face as the Miata
Wow, that car brought more raw emotion outta Doug than I’ve seen. That’s why you’re great at what you do! Great video
6:16 - proof that doug films his shit on an iphone. what a god
Doug the type of guy to notice the difference between virgin olive oil and extra virgin olive oil.
𝓛𝓪𝓡𝓾𝓼𝓼𝓸 👑
That's a good one high praise indeed.
There's actually a huge difference...
Since the only women you've seen are your mother and your sister, it's quite obvious you have no experience with anything close to virgin.
True. My bad.
i'm just here to hear daddy dougie say nice things about my model of car
I _know_ that feeling! Mine was a classic BMW.
he's yet to have reviewed a puch maxi s smh
I have one too! And it's black.
My girlfriend in Hawaii had one, it was awesome, handles like a go cart, so fun to drive with the top down on a nice sunny day in paradise! Ah memories, the good the bad and the miata...
omg my fav car on my dream location 🥺
4:01 Some say he has all the features and others say he has no quirks. All we know is, it's the Stig's cousin, Stigmuro!
Raphael Korrodi a truly underrated comment😭👌🏽
A true legend.
I'm disappointed you didn't call him the Stoug

5:00 that cover might also be there to stop sun damage to the stereo and a bit of rain too.
it's not beautiful? it just smile at you, it's cute, 10/10

Without changing the look of your beautiful buick,THATSALOTOFDAMAGE,thats a beautiful microsoft service
*18:16** DOUG RAGE*
Keep playing this over Haha
funny as shit😂
I made a music video using this lmao
Doug wasn't in the wrong here. The douche in their princess landship can get fucked.
This is a serious problem with these cars tho😂 when I was in high school driving a 90s lincoln continental, i was backing into a parking spot that I thought was unoccupied because I couldn't see a miata in my mirrors and accidentally hit it😂 no damage to either car tho and the miata driver wasn't in his car so I just went about my day
I got the MX5 from the 2000 model year as my first own car and drove for 13 years in summer and winter. It never ever let me down except for a failed battery because of a harsh winter and parking it outside and not in the garage for a couple of nights. But besides that, it had all the original parts on it when I sold it in 2013. Still today, when I see a black MX5 on the road, I remember all the fun I had in it. The amazing engine, the easy to use roof, the perfect stick shift with its small shifter, the light back which was a hell lot of fun in the winter… So much good memories…
That smile and laugh when he first starts driving, is what tipped me over like in the video🔥
This is a Doug Car if I ever saw one. I am jealous
Just saw your comment on binging with babish’s vid
What do you mean fool
I'm jelly too. I rarely see nice clean miatas anymore.
My uncle owns 4 of them. All 93s. Don’t ask me why.
When you're counting on Miata prices dropping during the winter, and then Doug makes a video...
Fuck. So true
I doubt they're gonna be dropping. 2,000 is a common price for one in a good condition
God bless I’ve got 3 miatas you already know I’m marking them up
That's it? There's one going for 13 grand here in my city. It's got 25k miles, sure, but still it's a 1990 base model. There's another one that's 8 grand for 55k miles, and everything else is a clapped out drift missle with rust and raceland coilovers for 3500 and 180k+ miles.
Lol... Hope you find a Miata though.
I just bought a 1991 MX5 hardtop convertible special edition miata with 119,202 ORIGINAL miles a sweet old lady sold it to me for $2,000 and it looks like I bought it straight from the show room. So I believe I got a pretty good deal and it has the husband name on a little plaque and it says 478 out of 4000 on it
Awesome! I hope you like it! You should watch ChrisFix, he has some great maintenance videos!
Just found this video. It includes many of the things I love about my 1994 MX5. Love!
headlights go up.... headlights go down

Some say he’s Doug’s secret lesbian lover...
All we know is... he’s called the Stig!
Ikr same helmet
it's the Stig's Japanese cousin
Thanx for the vid Doug, my friend has just left me his 1995, mx5 NA, 1.8i (131bhp), to fix over the summer. It needs a lot of TLC as hes neglected it !
Ive taken it for a spin and im already hooked !! Great cheap roadster for the weekends. So im going to put a new exhaust on it, and then dismantle all the suspension and clean and paint, with new poly bushes.
Love my NC. Had one for years, commute in it every day and I still love it. Driving it just feels great.
4:03 That's The Stig!!
Pranita Kakde lol some say......
some say he can remove a Mazda Miata hardtop all by himself
Some say, the Stig is the type of guy to follow Doug around so he can still drive cool and quirky cars... without Top Gear.
He's the Stig's Japanese Import cousin, Sitigo-san.
Some say his doug score is 122 out of 100
I’ve owned three Miatas 😩😩 they’re street legal go-cart.
Charles Bronson u garbage
Charles Bronson you are garbage. i bet you drive a fucking daewoo
KillaZami 47 a daewoo 💀💀💀 i haven’t heard that brand in years
Tysh’a Trice that sounds very dangerous
@Charles Bronson that's like saying shifter carts are garbage
Doug I really am impressed with your impression of the Miata/MX-5 I own a 2001 Black. So easy and inexpensive to repair if something fails. I used to restore Triumph Spitfires back in the 70's. When I first drove a Miata, one of my first thoughts was "A Spitfire and I don't need to carry my tools everywhere I go!" Liked and Subscribed. You are a great producer/presenter.
NA Miata chassis was also used for the very popular FD RX-7, double wishbone suspension front and rear with the power plant frame connection from transmission to the rear differential. Both used gas tank under the trunk.
It's not every day you see another human being in Doug's videos.
random stig showed up
Lmao, funny as.. ..
Doug - I'm a big fan of you. But I owned this model Mazda Miata/Eunos/MX5 and you didn't comment on the door handles of this early model? They are a real cool 1 finger operation, so unique at the time. All chrome and everything. It was my favourite quirk of the car. The later models put a standard 'lift open' operation like all other cars. The door handles on this model were unique, bespoke and a thing of beautiful engineering...
fosterb and in an Aston Martin
Just bought and drove my first Miata and was so excited to see that handle !! It’s very unique
My door is slightly too low so its hard to open. Sometimes I get pain in my elbow when opening the door, my only little gripe about the car :P
@@sjorsangevareput in those bushings Flying Miata makes for the doors
I've had a '90 for two years. Doug is absolutely correct. At 5/7", I fit really well. The only thing that hurts is my left elbow... the armrest is so friggin' hard. It hates hills but it really does corner like it's on rails. It's a Lotus Elan/Triumph/MG that runs and runs. Feels like it's made of paper, but is super durable and easy to fix. And, it's got air conditioning....
I daily one and I’m 6’4” lol
You probably won't see this by now since its 2 years after Doug but I daily drive my NA as a pizza delivery driver. It does get a little old getting in and out of it but throwing the top down every night I work, not a day goes by without it putting a smile on my face!
Doug Demuro the type of guy to drive a convertible with the windows up.
Sean Flaghrety is for better sound during filming.
I have a S2K and there are reasons to drive with the windows up... especially on the way to work! ha ha!
Thats for the sound quality
Color matched...🤣 that car is 50 shades of black.
Agreed. It needs a full respray.
Agreed. That right door was replaced once...
not the best example
Most likely had rust repaired on the lower quarter and door. On the drivers side of mine, all that needs replacing, due to rust
@A real bisexual petrol-head fuck up, everyone has the right to comment on other people's cars. They literally have only pointed out that it needs a respray
91 NA SE BRG owner here and I do commute - and agree with your comments generally on that point - but it is as much fun as you say!
I have a little 121 and a lot of the stuff is the same in my car and in this Miata. It's so nice to discover those little details.
DOUG YOU WERE FOOLED THAT GUY STOLE THE HARDTOP
THE GREAT MANIAC YOU WERE FOOLED, IT WASN'T "THAT GUY" IT WAS IT WAS
Chris fix stole the hard top.
a slightly disappointing Salad
No the Stig stole the hardtop.
That Pennsylvanian guy we don’t talk about him here.
I don't understand the dislikes for Doug's videos. These must be the same people I stand behind in a busy checkout line that make the checker walk across the store to see why the can of air freshener rang up 5 cents more than it was marked on the shelf.
79 thump or maybe they just disliked it
79 thump ...i agree with ya, and the guy thst left the comment before me is probably one of those kinda people, lol
It is practically a meme at this point to hate on Doug just for the sake of it.
79 thump welcome to youtube fuckstain.
Juan Reynoso Is it a meme that everyone calls everything a "meme"?
I love this spec/model Miata. Between the black paint red interior and gold wheels it's on point
Doug knows more about me than I know about myself.
@ 4:00 Some say he's from another planet and some say he eats spam for breakfast... all I know he's called the Stig!
Lets call him the dtig, from doug
It’s actually just The Stig’s nephew... Alex
He has a thousand pictures ...of his camera.
Lol I was eating a tuna sandwich and I though you said sperm and I gagged, but then I saw it was spam and it was ok
@BOLO9 you naughty boy!
My 1994 Miata makes me giggle. And then I look down and I'm going like 32 MPH. I love it. I never expected to enjoy a Miata this much before I bought one even but it's just fantastic.
Matt Clark 94 Miata is best Miata! I just started posting about mine on my channel.
its something that you can't describe. I had my friend literally talk shit about my car for the longest time until he actually drove it, he instantly took it all back. It was fucking weird.
Same with my 93 geo metro convertible lol
I bought my 91 in 1997. I have nearly 338,000 very happy miles on it now. It required a commitment to wrenching, but that’s been enjoyable too.
Lucky son of a gun.. I want a 93 Miata so bad
Bought a stock 92, for $1200. 72k miles. Interior perfect, yokohamas, original everything, including top. Paint bad and so I'm plastic dipping black, and I broke back plastic window...forgot to un-zip, shite.... love this car...love it...love it..love it...weekends along hwy1 and ocean, and cut up through redwood trees...better than a psychiatrist !!!! Cheaper too!!! 30 mpg. Handles fantastic...
10:12 Doug crouching next to that tiny trunk is a hilarious visual.
Doug is the type of guy to cut his intro off quick to get to the point of the video

@@jmoney7289 congrats? Lol I didn't know that was an accomplishment
Doug, the type of guy to rip a hole in the Roadster flop top to peek out.
Having owned an NC for almost three years, I can say the WORST thing about it, is turning the engine off.
Just bought one and for the first time in my life, no buyers regret
I'm only 20, living in the uk and only been driving a year and I've bought an NB. All I can say is I freaking love it and I will find any excuse to go out in it
Bought my NC GT new in 2006. Best car I have ever owned. Easy to work on, very reliable and puts a smile on my face every time. My only negative is that the 6th gear revs at 3600 rpm at 70.
I absolutely love my NC. Checkout my TH-cam and my Instagram is im_miata_mike
@@crashhappy7296 Welcome to the club. I remember in seeing my first Miata in 1989 in a show room. It was British racing green with a tan interior. I was 19 at the time with very little money but a lot of love for that little sports car.
After coming home from a year long Army deployment overseas in 2006 I decided it was my time to buy a brand new car. I looked at a 2006 Mustang and Corvette convertible. Both were nice, and quite frankly I was extremely disappointed in the Corvette. As a kid I always wanted one but it didn't live up to what I expected from a $50K car.
I test drove the 2006 MX5 and fell in love. It only had 170 HP vs the corvette's 400 and the Mustang GT's 300, but it drove better than both of the others. Needless to say I bought it.
Do yourself a favor and join a Miata club. this groups of like minded people will help you if you want to modify or maintain your car if they like you.
You got the ultra rare 93 black/red combo. Classic!
The US market Miata had an option for cup holder. Instead of the sunglass cover, you could get a cover with 2 cup-sized holes. My 89 had both covers.
Doug is the kind of guy who is thinking about what car to review next while having his prostate checked by his doctor
LOL !
deadly backfire for Herr Yazdi :-D
More like having his prostate checked out by his wife's girlfriend~🙃
Why do I feel Like I Keep Seeing You Everywhere
What is a prostate
Doug the type of guy to parallel park his shopping cart before picking stuff off the shelves
I’ve watched this video 4 times this week, never gets old
Currently have begun my hunt for a blue NA. One of my dream cars. So fun and full of personality.
That side profile makes it look like the car is three different shades of black
...because it is...
That nardi steering wheel is so nice.
go back to making shitty videos you five year old
Yes, I want to buy it for mine, dont know the name tho :(
The A and the D . Loved my A and will be buying another soon . There is nothing like it . I particularly like the zip out rear window . In the heat of the summer drive around with the top up and rear window down . Fabulous.
I’m gonna have to stop watching Doug’s videos because I just ended up buying one of these 😂

4:00 Some say, that all his family members worked at Morgan and that his greatest fear is to drive a car without retractable roof. All we know is, he’s not the Stig, but he is the Stig’s convertible testing cousin!
the stig's hair stylist cousin
4:02 some say his roof removing skills come from a previous life as an actual hurricane. He is. The Stieg!
This is a great review, I own a 95 Miata and it is the best all around car I have driven in its fun factor I agree completely
The Miata is the car that every british 2 seater wanted to be.....
ironic, the japanese made a better 2 seat roadster than the people who invented the 2 seat roadster
Exactly. And I can say that after owning two MGs - a '66 MGB and a '51 TD. I have also owned a '97 NA and presently a '99 NB Miata. The Miata is everything no British roadster ever could be - Cheap, Cheerful, and most of all, Reliable.
So much true. No british roadster achieved what the Miata did. And most of all, 30 years later the Miata is still alive and selling well, while all the others - Lotus Elan, Triumph Spitfire, Austin-Healey Sprite, etc. - are dead and gone.
There are about 625 British sports cars I would rather have than a Miata.
Wilson Martin you’ll need to buy all 625 of them because they’ll each break after a month of driving.
Nothing beats V6 Phil!
Ben Mayall car throttle right
Ben Mayall mmmm maybe
Jack Garcia yes
I just found out I had a penis today, feeling great about it
Dr Phil.
Gotta love how the “cold air intake” is right next to the extremely hot exhaust manifold lol
The 1980's Mercedes SL also had a rear defroster on the removable hardtop.
The beauty of this car is that you can drive it pretty hard in regular driving and it is super fun without going to jail.
what is a miata?
I fucking hate that Americans have to say that about speed and jail.as an American living in thailand "jail" is the last thing on my mind when i speed.
Dude we need more drag race vids!
Aaron Rodriguez currently getting tuned for e85, then more races will happen!
dreams come true, Doug reviewed the miata
Doug the type of guy to do a 22 minute video about a small roadster without big amount of functions and features... almost as long as his videos about luxury cars with lots of cool tech
And I am WAY more interested in the Miata
nice i have a 94 miata and i didnt even think about replacing the ashtray with a sun glasses holder, thats genius
4:03 Stig what are you doing there
The Stig's American Cousin.
@@turbo311 The Stig's _Poor_ American Cousin.
Some say....
He misses the time with real Top Gear, and that his income has dropped, since nobody allows him to learn to read anymore.
All we know, he is call Doug Stig.
It’s Chrisfix
brilliant...
The Miata is a brilliant car for sure. People who don't appreciate them really don't know much about cars or the heritage of the British roadsters of the past.

Isn’t it Japanese though?
SquiDragon it is, yet at the same time, it's one of the best British sport cars. Top Gear never been known for logic, and that's part of the appeal.
Oh yeah, Miata also has been designed in California to add to the confusion.
I had one of these (red over black) special MIatas - one of three I had in sequence. So happy to see this review. Wouldn't trade my AMG SUV, but wish I (still) had it also.
Yep…. Had this one for 20 years . Best , and most reliable car I ever owned!..So much fun. Lived in Manhattan and even parked it on the street, drove from the upper east side through Times Square, to Queens …. Great memories. Just bought a 2012 hard top. (Blue/tan)with 71k miles which I was nervous about….??? we’ll see. Living in Miami……. Can’t wait!
18:15 Doug almost dies.
BPEK Supra Interactive if you see his dodge challenger hellcat video, he almost almost crashed
F
Many times suvs are hard to see out of
I’m guessing if importance was still part of the Doug score it would have gotten a 10
Graison Parson same thing I was thinking!
Think of all the hairdressers and secretary's that would have to walk to work if there was no Miata!
one time my mother called me a son of a bitch,
so i hit her becase no one talks trash about my mother ,
she then hit me because no one hits my mother,
she then hit herself because no one hits her son ,
so i hit her because no one hits my mother.
Got
Nah, I'd give it a 6 at most.
I've daily driven my NA in Alberta winters for 12 years. With winter tires, heated leather seats, VLSD differential, and perfect 50/50 weight distribution, it's the best winter car I've ever had...in large part because it's so much fun on slippery surfaces.
The energy level of Doug’s older videos is sooooo much better then the post cars and bids. I miss this shit 😂
Just sold my NA 1.6L ): ..... Because I bought an NA 1.8L (:
Wow, what a plot twist.
Do you notice a pattern with all mx5-haters seem to be sexually insecure constantly raising questions around this car and sexuality?
We have one and you cannot look straight driving one it’s simply impossible
For no problems in the mistaken sexuality dept., you really have to put on RIMZZZZZ and a racing stripe. And a thru hood blower and a tall trunk spoiler.
Right?
The telling part is that you worry about whether you "look straight". Why should anyone care?
If you are really straight, nothing makes you gay, you make things straight.
Doug the kind of guy that makes videos I like to watch
My 92 has been a daily driver for 5 years now- (on sale because I want to get a later model) and it never ever has not started and has been super duper reliable.
