Great review! the NC Miata is, in my opinion the best looking Miata, it's well proportioned and its lines make it look timeless.
While I disagree with you on it being the best miata gen I do agree that the nc is underrated
I disagree about the best looking part, in my opinion the ND perfected the look. But I do like the fact that it is arguably the most comfortable one.
For me, the NB and ND are the best looking. NA and NB are dead last, but NB can look way better with some mods.
@@vulpix9210The ND is the ugliest one. The NCs rear looks wide and proportioned, the NDs rear looks like it has a flat ass, with the tail lights being too small and close together.
Hi,I live in the UK and have a 2007 with 16000 miles and paid £5000. Not only a great buy but a great drive. When the weather is nice.
I live on the Canadian prairies and drove my '06 all year round with the help of decent snow tires. More fun than my TJ.
rewatching this for the Nth time as I'm getting ready to go pickup an 07 NC today! Soooooooo excited.
Greetings from Europe NC for ever🍀🙌
Love mine. 2years old to me. Runs like a top, sticks to the road.like it is glued down, and EVERYTHING works. My 07 has new coilovers and is lowered 1.5-2". The car is actually fun to spend money on(upgrade), and any new parts will be better than what they replace. Congratulations, let thw fun begin. 😊😊😊
I've had an NC for 2 years and it has 215k miles and still running strong. Do it's maintenance and it won't let you down.
I have a 2006 mx-5 Grand touring with 42,000 miles. Im stoked i found it and its in great condition i just bought yesterday morning. Cant wait to mod
NC1 is the best looking Miata! The fender flare looks great, glad the car is getting attention. Just bought one, very fun.
My favorite aspects are the "Advanced Keyless Entry" (AKE) system, fender flares, leather seats, and true convertible PRHT.
Just bought one yesterday. 2006 grand touring so stoked. i take the canyons to work everyday so the car is perfect
Absolutely love my 2007 NC PRHT! 6 Speed Manual is a dream.
And I absolutely love my 2006 NC convertible GX automatic, and will never sell it, it's that good. Guess we're on the same page eh 'Wizardnil.'
I got the 08 version with Galaxy grey. I love it.
I prefer the NC2 taillights, but these are not bad. One thing to know for the buyers out there is that the NC2 and up have forged engine internals (2009 and up). Mazda didn't do this for reliability, but to make the engine smoother. Also, it is a little better is you go crazy and add a turbo to it. I personally own an NC2 and I think it is fine without a turbo. I do prefer the NC design to the later iterations, but I love my NC2. I did add a single exhaust, and while it doesn't look symmetrical, the sound is amazing.
Happy to hear you like the NC generation. For many years it has been the most hated Miata.
I do prefer the NC2 with the more smiling face, but the NC is still a great sports car and maybe the one to get since NA are staring to skyrocket in price and NB are almost right behind it.
I daily a 07 NC! It's the very same white even. Very fun and surprisingly livable as a sports car on American roads.
Do you think a skinny 6 foot 1 inch tall guy could fit ok inside a 2006 Miata? I'm on the verge of buying one.
I put my NC2 PRHT away every winter for 5 months.
I see it sitting, waiting everyday in the garage.
Like a pound-puppy, it looks at me wondering why it’s not outside playing.
Every once in a while I just take a few minutes and sit in it for the love of it.
I can’t think of another car that would have this silly effect on me.
Certainly not any of the dozen or so that I’ve owned before.
Were spot on mat! Delayed gratification.
NC... over 7 years and only general maintenance. Bought mine with 15k miles back in 2017. Same colors Fun car...She loves the mountain passes.
I have a NC2, it's more fun in the mountains than my Type R civic! Not faster but more fun.
Understood~@@richardwanamaker9080
Hell yeah! I have one here in Australia...2006 NC1, 97K KMS.
Absolutely brilliant drive... subtly modded with muffler delete, work emotion cr kai rims, adjustable coilovers and a Kenwood android auto head unit.
It's absolutely brilliant. Thinking of getting a custom mid pipe made up to delete the mid resonator as well.
Got a new roof on it as soon as I bought it about 8 months ago and it's fantastic. Came from a V8 Commodore 6speed, and this is a much more engagi drive.
Hey hey, I don't care about any fancy stuff or infotainment. That Miata is perfect for what I'm looking for. That 6 speed, the cabin layout. That Miata is the definition of a light sports car.
Best miata ever. The NC. Great video. I found on the internet that people who sold their NC for an ND, are regretting this move and they want to go back to NC. The main factor is space and steering feel since the NC is hydraulic vs the ND is electric. also, the glove box, cup holders, and exhaust pipe on each side, are sportier than the double pipe on the right side of the ND. I have a 2012 NC GT True Red. this color is no longer available for the ND. Yes, the red soul is nice but true sports cars use flat colors.
I’m getting an NC2 soon, any tips for a first time owner of one?
@@seel2835 Recover the paint and polish the car. Upgrade tires. 205 are too skinny and Bridgestone Potenza produces a lot of road noise
@@manejandoenusa I’ve only bought tires twice in my whole life haha, which ones would you recommend? Or at least what dimensions should I be looking for compared to the regular? Also thank you for your answer and your time :)
@@seel2835 Get the protector for the radiator and get wider tires. 205 are too skinny.
@@seel2835 225/40 fit perfectly!!!
Has there ever been a bad Miata? Not many cars reach icon status but I consider this to have made it. Similar to how the Mini Cooper and VW Beetle have done.
But the Miata is better cause it has retained the original formula
I have the NC 2 and it's a keeper.. Just an amazing car for a driver ❤ it's actually more practical then people think as well!
Mazda is one of the few makers that keep their designs consistent and not grow them until they’re unrecognizable. Not a fan of those double chamfer fender flares but I like the rest of it.
I’ll see if Turo has one in stock for Labor Day.
These were made about the same time as the RX8 and I think they share a few external design cues.
I'm watching this again after 8 months and this car still sets my heart fluttering. Another 3 more years to go before I get one. Preferably an NC3.
I've owned six Miatas, including three NC Miatas, all PRHT Premium models... 2010, then a 2012, and my current is a Sparkling Black 2011 Special Edition. I daily drive them and you can see from my user name I love them.
I have a 2008 just like this except black interior with 73,000 mi. on it. I love it and will keep it in top shape forever.
I had the exact same color combination and year.
I’ve considered it, but it seems like the kind of car that’s best for windey roads and I need a highway cruiser.
Mazda are highly regarded as having the best handability in cars, so your not wrong about the curvy roads, but once you drive it with the top down on a long road you’ll fall in love with it instantly
beautiful
PSA -
If you have an NC, consider a red film kit for the taillights, the previous model owner of mine put this on and it covers the Altezza lights. It looks much better and makes it look like an NA on steroids imo
The headlights looks like the NA's turn signals
I have a 2008 PRHT in Copper Mica, with just under 28K kms on the clock.
It is a terrific little car, but living in one of Canada's more "winter-laden" cities, I drive it only seven months out of the year (why kill the body with all the road salt?).
I'm thinking of replacing the stock Bilsteins and coils (original!)vwith something from BBR (or Flyin' Miata or Goodwin Racing). I'd also like to get something like the BBR Stage One turbo (I know, naturally aspirated is great, but the induction noise from the kits sold by BBR--the 225--is god awful loud for use in a street car).
I would round it out with some slightly wider wheels and tires and perhaps Willwood brakes... We'll see how the finances are looking next spring.
Thank you for this review.
Why, mess with perfection? 'Rust Never Sleeps' Neil Young.
Marouane, are you putting sunscreen on? Yes I'm concerned 😂
Me and my wife are looking at buying a maroon grand touring 07 nc with 55k on it. They are asking 11,500 might try and get em down a little lol
I agree with you. This is a much nicer iteration of the Miata compared to the ND. The Targa style C-pillars of the ND spoils the lines of a true convertible.
Do you mean on the RF?
@@ADUSN
Yes, the RF.
NA enthusiasts are fuming that I have the wide body scat pack of Miata’s
NC1 is the best. Modern enough and spacious.
❤NCs
After driving all gens, the NA and the NC is my favourites.
The NA just looks the mest imo and feels more "raw".
The NC is the better car over all gens, feeling great to drive but it just does not have the same raw feeling as the NA.
It’s a cool car. But I bought my 2007 Cayman S manual for 22k. 300HP. Boxster about the same. Cheers boys.
❤
Mine is black.
Can I have this for free? I like the design but the only think I don't like is the center console.
The interior colour is, TAN.
please stop making prices go up on cars i want to get after the shortage is over and markups are over
I know, it's fun to drive and has many refinements over the NA/NB......but I just can't get past the styling. Of course, styling is subjective---some may like it. I think it's quite ugly, and I'd hate it every time I had to look at it
Just put if curiosity - what specifically do t you like about the design style? Like, is it the headlights, the rounded front shape, the intake that's not smiling, etc?
@@bailey2517 Did you mean what is it that I don't like about the style? If so, I think the car is too round and bloated-looking
@@justsumguy2u that's fair for sure.
I think they call that pumpkin interior color and I think it's NASTY A/F!
What interior color do you prefer most?
@@bailey2517 I like a dark saddle color. Ever see an old Renault? Yeah, pumpkin doesn't age well in my opinon.
@@jagboy69 oo that's a good one for sure. Yeah I don't really like this pumpkin color either.
@@bailey2517 Reminds me a of a mid 80s Audi. You had two interior options. It was a dark blue or chocolate brown. Everything, the dash, seats and door panels were either blue or brown. Yuck. Mine had chocolate brown, it was the least offensive color. My nc has black, but works with silver paint. Pumpkin and silver? No way. 🤢 A lot of guys add red or blue to break up all the black and that looks pretty good.
@@jagboy69 I'm about to buy a 2006 NC with white paint and black interior. It looks sooo nice and I'm ecstatic.
It's MAzda, not MOzda !!!
Never drive a cabrio with windows up haha!
Good review!
