Is it worth the extra cost for the 30th Anniversary?
@TheStraightPipes Did you happen to park outside a school when recording this?
Totally worth it for the racing orange!
Yes! We need more orange cars!
Yes its worth it. I have co driven in one once and it was fun. Best part you can still get it as a manual #savethemanuals and it has THE BEST convertible roof ever.
how much more is it actually after the options?
"If you get it in an automatic, you are actually getting a worse vehicle."
Bold move Mazda, bold move. #SavetheManuals
It's a good idea on their part too because it cuts cost and the people who care about those things are buying a manual anyways.
Most cars punish you for choosing manual, Mazda rewards you.
Look, I absolutely love manuals and I would drive any car rather with a manual than an automatic. But gimping the automatic version of a car is not a bold move, it's a dick move. Some people prefer automatics and some people simply can't drive manuals (because of disabilities or whatever) and those poor souls are now getting a worse car.
There's no reason to be petty, just because manuals are disappearing - because it is inevitable. Once the EV or hydrogen fuel cell becomes mainstream, manuals will be a thing of the past.
Herp McDerp Mazda’s own sales figures showed that the vast majority of Miata buyers bought the manual models. It’s one of those rare instances where putting R&D funds into a car’s automatic transmission may not be worth the effort.
Yes, the manual’s days are limited, but the Miata will be one of the last cars available with a manual given how strongly sales favor it for this particular car. I don’t blame Mazda at all for not giving two craps about the auto version. They make fine autos for the rest of their lineup. They just don’t care to invest extra money into the transmission few buy (for the Miata).
@@dsugioaga To be fair, we don't know why Mazda is not including certain features on the automatic versions. There may be reasons other than to punk those who need or prefer automatics. This is certainly true when it comes to manuals (if they're an option at all) only being offered on lower trim levels. Mazda is one of the few exceptions that allows Manuals on their higher trim level cars. The particular demographic we're defending here probably very low -- a person without the use of a hand and/or one or both of their legs, wanting this exact limited edition Miata. It's not like that couldn't purchase an auto with "all the things" likely for less money.
Just got mine in orange 🍊
In Forza horizon 4 😎
These guys need to review a race sim :)
absolut mad man
Ngl had us in the first half.
Supergt from forza also races karts and is really good at both
Mr. 2cents. Just get Need for speed Heat its so much fun. I have a suped up ND Miata and I love it
I originally had a long paragraph typed out talking about my 2016 MX-5 and I was ready to push the comment button and deleted it. Just watch the review, drive one, and see how happy you are after driving it. It's the best car I've owned!
harrismi7 I was going to get one but it’s just not a practical car lol I would’ve regretted it like a month later. I ended up getting the 2019 Mazda3
What other cars does it beat that you've owned?
@@Sickwitit18 the cars I've owned over the past 10-12 years were a 2015 Volvo V60, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, 2011 Dodge Charger, and 2007 Dodge Ram 4x4. Right now my MX5 shares space with a 1999 Porsche 911 I bought in July. I could not be happier with the 2 cars I have. It makes it hard to pick one when I need to go somewhere.
@@harrismi7 that's a great problem to have
@@harrismi7 so you had had no fun cars before the Miata, and it's the best, so surprising.
I was a Miata hater until I drove one back in 2016...rest is history, I owned a 2016 soul red, switched to 30AE in July and still have my 1997 NA.
same here
I also own a 97 NA Miata brought march 2019
Man I remember being a naive kid and swearing I'd never drive a "girly" Miata. Now, it's on my "realistic" wish list lol.
Same here bro. Not even embarrassed about it.
Bought one as my first car at 19.. knew I’d get some shit for it but I absolutely loved my Miata. It’s a car that you can mob at 80% of the chassis’ capability on your way to work and back haha. I’d constantly take the back way home just for the 5 or 6 fun corners. I did have an exhaust and coil overs on mine though
I dont get whats girly about it, i think it looks amazing!
Pissing off people who say this or yell "haha gayboy" about them is legit one of the best parts of owning one. I had an NB8B for two years and miss it terribly.
SUVs are the only girly cars
There's never such a thing as too many Miata reviews - keep up the good work guys!! :)
Have owned ~30 cars including Porsche, Lotus, Golf R32, Golf R, etc. Bought a nicely set up 2001 NB Miata three years ago and will never sell it. That's the best compliment I can give!
What's your favorite car you've ever owned? Maybe the top 3?
What Porsche? What lotus? What else?
How is NB relevant to ND2 review?
@@volodymyrshoniia2424 relevant as the point of the video is how good the Miata is compared to other cars, which is true. You can wring it's neck and not break the law on public roads.
I had a 1987 Porsche 944 and a 1984 911 Carrera coupe. The Lotus was a 2006 Elise.
@@tmh44 so you had really old Porsches, great. And you're saying nb is better than the Elise? Or is it just because you can beat on it and not worry about anything? Elise doesn't seem to require going illegally fast when you want to have fun, although it isn't as slow as a Miata.
@@volodymyrshoniia2424 if it matters I've also driven the 996, 997, 991, Boxsters, Caymans, etc. extensively.
But yes, I find the Miata more fun overall in daily life. I'm less precious with it than those other cars, so I drive it harder, wash it less often, and don't freak if it gets a new stone chip. So speaking for myself I enjoy the NB more. Hope this answers your questions.
I have owned 8 Miata’s over the years. Currently own a 2017 Club Ricaro, BBS, Brembo. Love! I love Mazda so much that I sold my BMW X5 and bought a CX9 Signature.
I feel like Yuri is not gonna keep is Prowler for long
I’m keeping it forever.
TheStraightPipes what u mean by saying regret not getting a miata before? Is it choice a between the prowler?
Most people see you in a Miata and think, "that guy's a bitch". Most people see a prowler and don't even pay attention to the driver, just get confused and curious about wtf just drove by. I'd rather take the non-bitch option
No one thinks that Miata drivers are "a bitch".
Or is this an american thing?
@@raupenimmersatt6906 American. Where big bodies and large loud engines trump actual performance. Not saying it's what I think, but small zippy cars get a much better response in other countries than they do in America
I went from a 2002 miata to a 2018 (i know, i know) miata and I think my favorite quality of life improvement on the new generation is the roof. it really is that easy. I look at convertibles with power roofs that are like "put the roof up or down in only 11 seconds!" - no thanks!
Kevvo Wobbo got a 93 with automatic, plan to get a 2016 with a manual as my second car when I upgrade. If I can I would get a club sport package. I can’t keep both as I only have space for 2 cars now.
I saw a Miata. So I got up at 5 AM to watch this.
Had a 2016 GT Black/Black Soft Top MT and loved the car, JUST traded it in for a 2019 GT Machine Grey/Cherry Top with Car Play and love it. Added a number of upgrades from MX-5 Thing as well as a Cobalt Exhaust System. It feels quite a bit different than the 2016 and with the upgrades that it comes with make it well worth it. Just love this car and loads of comments from everyone. The ND is the sharpest looking MX-5 hands down. If your on the fence about getting one, just do it. I'll be 70 next year and should have bought one of these years ago, ZOOM ZOOM, ,
how's the '19 feel different?
I just drove one over the weekend. At night, top down in perfect Florida weather in Sarasota. Trying to speed corners and roundabouts is the most fun I've ever had while driving. Will never forget that first Miata experience!
Had a 1990 Miata for years. Most fun you can have on four wheels, especially if you join a Miata club. Here in San Diego, you can go on a Miata run almost any weekend. You can buy a low mileage used Miata for a good price and have so much fun. Not a great primary vehicle for most people, but a wonderful second or third car.
I have a 2010 Miata, and love it. I’m 6’1” tall, and it has plenty of room. It’s an automatic, but manual clutches have been on their way out for a while. It doesn’t have torque lag, and my wife can drive it without smoking a clutch. I’ve been in the 30th Anniversary Miata, and have two complaints: the Recaro seats do not allow you to slide into the car, and the Homelink mirror plate is HUGE. I could live with the Recaro seats, but that mirror belongs on a bus. Thanks for sharing! 👍
It's the perfect car for getting my Starbucks pumpkin spice latte!
@Conor not necessarily
It's a car for any enthusiast
Hilarious!
@@Saboda53 Yeah that must be it!
Dude your ignorance is only bested by your sexism xD
I have watched your Mx-5 Videos so often already....and I am still coming back. I really love your focus on driving in your Vidoes.
Yours really is the best way to do a car review!
Miata always makes me happy because of their front end
Miata's are just so much fun no matter how you drive them. That orange color is sick! I like the color matched calipers as well.
Anytime you'll get your hands on a vette c8?
Probably closer to the release date
You guys nail why the Miata is so damn special. For yrs I blew it off now my 19yr old son has a 2001 Special edition, coil overs, 17"'s, skirts, roll bar and performance summers (looks like a baby last gen RX7). I now get the fuss. Its the car you drive and look around at every supposed sports or super car and snicker because yours if more fun, more connected and you bought it cause it actually makes driving fun again......
Miatas ARE the best :) I love my Mazdaspeed ! The ND is amazing tho
Seeing this orange reminds me of my 03 mazdaspeed protege !
I like everything except the row of led lights under the headlights. Miatas are such fun cars to drive but at that price point,they’re are a lot more choices I’d go with.
Living in New England a Miata has to be a second car..so a brand new one is off the list for me. I got lucky and found a ‘16 GT with 6k miles under $20k US. Best bargain out there is a slightly used, and it came with Mazda CPO warranty.
Anyone who’s wanted one-just do it! Drive one and you’ll be hooked.
You can temporarily disable hill assist by pulling the handbrake. So actually if you still want to do traditional hill starts with a handbrake - you can
My favorite car reviewers and your videos keep getting better!
Got mine in July. #0255/3000. No regrets.
Thanks for the acknowledgement about reasons for auto. As one who has a recent jacked up clutch leg, go auto!
❤️❤️❤️
Ouch. Glad it's not your accelerator/brake leg. Feel better...
My '14 PRHT Club was close to this price and it's my favorite car ever - especially with an exhaust and coilovers. Time to make the switch Yuri!
Holy body roll! You can see the car leaning so hard when you take those turns! Looks like a lot of fun though.
Damn those shots of the miata driving behind the camera are beautiful with the leaves wooshing by the miata
I see Yuri got a new mobile editing rig. That dual screen Asus laptop is pretty sweet!
It's not. We're returning them
This MX5 30 AE in racing orange equipped with BILSTEIN dampers, Rays Rims, BREMBO brakes, RECARO seats etc. is definitely the best fun- car on the road... as You know : 'the answer is always MIATA' 👍🏾
the orange color looks really good with all the fall colors.
I think a lot of people seem to forget the NA also had speakers in the seats.
I'm actually seriously considering buying a 2020 miata, I miss my 2016 launch edition so much... and now I have another daily driver (Golf R) I can get the miata as a fun summer/weekend car again.
OMGAWWWWWWD!!! I don't know if I should cry or jump with joy! Happy that it exists sad that I can't get one. I love the color I hope that in time Mazda brings that color for us plebs.
I think the orange color reminds us of the 787B
4:24 shows the sponsor's recommended tyres for the cars
4:25 zooms to the wheels and the they're fitted with the competition's ones
I bet they complained, lol
Unsubbed for Yuri complaining about not having a Miata while he drives one like all the time while owning a Prowler and a GTI. Then I resubbed for great car content and you guys are working hard so you earned the right to whine on the internet in your own videos.
Colour and front fascia are perfect to bring out on Halloween
As an MX-5 owner I'd say the 30th anniversary is totally worth it. We can't spec Recaro seats in UK so they only come on special editions.
The prowler should definitely be wintered with videos if it snows!
I do disagree with you guys on some things. I'd say it's pretty loud, I always drive to the redline from 1st so it's mostly at the sweet exhaust spot and driving this way it's pretty rapid 0-62 in about 6 seconds - very easy to speed on our many 30 roads.
Also the Abarth 125 is a competitor but it pretty much is a Mazda, just not as good.
I have a 1996 NA Miata, 1.8L with the 5 speed and LSD. I prefer it to my manual stage 1 mk5 golf gti lol
You forgot that 30th aniversary edition has alcantara interior ! Anyway great review guys =)
+1 for Yuri wintering his prowler. It could be like a top gear special!
I don't think anyone will ever get tired of seeing a Miata. I guess it's pretty much the perfect car - you can't not like it!
I had a 1991 Miata for 11 years. Every day, I felt like I won the lottery. I might get another one, though I'm not sold on the orange.
Miata is always the answer! Keep the Miata videos coming!!!! Thank you!!!
That miata's front looks like a happy baby with one tooth
Funny how the dealership I used to work for treated this car. I was the only one trusted enough to get it ready for the showroom. Sat behind ropes until the new owner drove it out and nobody else was aloud to touch or drive er.
Nice job guys! One day we will get a MazdaSpeed version... *I wish*
Answer: See the Flying Miata folks for a performance upgrade!
guys, I just got my second dream car 124 abarth home last night.
Congrats, abarth is a worlds better car than a Miata.
Yuri! What about the Fiat 124 Spider Abarth? It's exactly like this Miata, or is it? A review may be warranted. Wut up J?
I love the Miata. Thank you for the test.
"No other car company has a Miata competitor"
Fiat 124:"Am I a joke to you?"
Fiat CEO: "ok guys the joke's over, halt production. Nobody is buying these."
They gonna stop production of 124 very soon. I've read it somewhere.
I bought a 2018 Camaro 2SS Hot Wheels Edition with 10k miles on it a couple of months ago for a couple grand more than this Miata and I have a 455hp LT1 V8 with also orange everything 😂
Point being as beautiful as the Miata is, I personally could never justify getting it at that price.
Great stuff as always, gentlemen!
Used V8 is always the answer
Agreed!
Hit us with an S2000 Miata comparison (or just an S2K vid)
Cool video! I drive a 89 Miata myself and it's lovely
5:36 If you get this with an automatic.... YOU'RE A FOOL
Nice Job👍🏻
It’s not Noise the “Sound” the Miata emits🏎🚓
Thank You 🙏
Re: wintering the Prowler:
Dreamcar Exception. Plus IIRC an Element is perfect for winter cause you can rinse out the muck that sticks to your shoes.
Really enjoying my #1545 soft top manual.
I want that Miata livin' more and more after losing my del sol recently.
Gotta love those fall colors around cliche corner
Miata.... Miata... Miata... it’s an MX5!!
Super video guys ! This has to be my favorite miata of all.
What about the comparison video of mx5 with and without LSD to see how it affect the driving experience? Are you still planning to do it?
Had an NC without lsd. Was bad in rain. We had a slick section of asphalt by our home at a light and I always slid with one wheel. With the lsd you'll go forward regardless of wheelspin.
My mom has had an NA since 1997 (it's a 94 with just over 80K, very close to mint and as stock as it gets). Just took it out recently on some back roads to stretch the legs and it's just a total laugh. I love the NA because it smells more like a British or Italian roadster and you can't build them like that today. You think you're screaming at 50.
Are you guys ever gonna be shooting in Nova Scotia? I would really love to see you guys. You’re the best!
It's so hard watching this video when I have to decide between a run of the mill Grocery Getter (say the new Mazda 3 Hatch) or an ND.
I can only afford one unfortunately.
I need the room of a grocery getter every other month to transport stuff and I bet it's far more comfortable than a Miata, but damn Miatas are so frigging nice.
I'm absolutely torn here.
Kanonenfutter the hatch in a miata is big enough for groceries and you can put big items in the passenger seat!
@ kanonenfutter......

I've always loved the MX5, thinking of getting a NA or NB as a daily driver in Winnipeg. I don't think the Anniversary Edition is worth the extra, but Miata is always the answer.
Not the most comfortable for daily driving but it'd be fun if you don't have any traffic!
I love my 1994 Miata to drive, though in terms of ownership and how much it has cost me, I might have bought a cursed one or something >
Love the sweater Yuri, did you reach 88mph and picked that up in 1986? 😉
you guys have my hand writing
Nice fun car for a retiree to runabout in and a better choice than the nostalgic 2001 Mercedes SL I originally thought would be a cheap good choice. Can’t really justify a 2013+ SL either, the Miata seems to have a loyal following. When I test drove one years ago I remember thinking I was too exposed like what a motorcycle ride might be like. But if I use it primarily in town probably ok. Your fun factor is evident during your review. It’s probably the styling I dislike the most versus say the BMW Z cars that are that much sexier. But as I’ve aged I just don’t want the headache of extra service maintenance like you’d have on a Boxster for example or an old SL and it’s old gaskets, rear main seals, etc. Toyota has increased appeal lately. Never in the shop. And it would be the same with the Miata. Cheap and cheerful. What about an electric Miata? That might sway me.
The soul red looks so much better.
I believe Nissan/Infiniti do speakers on the headrest. They also use Bose speakers.
seat heater buttons are orange in all models
Mazda North America forgot to keep the MX-5 headlights "ON" all the time like Mazda3, Mazda6, CX-3, CX-30, CX-5 and CX-9 except the CX-9 Signature.
Can ya hide the search box in the taskbar plz? Drives me nuts every time I see one still enabled lol.
Picks up a coffee cup to place in the cup holder, puts in as a pickle jar. 😁
He should, saludos from Bolivia.
Every time I see these special edition Miata’s it makes me sad that the S2K is no longer made. If it had stayed true to its original recipe and progressed how cool would it be now?!
Pssh when was the last time you've been inside those Toronto cabs. Pretty much racing to your destination :p
about the very best manual shift I've ever driven (yes, even better than the s2000)...likely about the easiest to learn on as well. A 2 pedal version of this should be illegal. But with that front plate looks like its got buck teeth :)
Looks very nice on orange!
I agree
abbaby555 😉👍
New paint looks so cool
Literally the greatest sports car ever created
I'd rather have more people buying cool cars than gating people
Nissan Kick does the speaker in headrest thing
I’m the proud owner of 30 th Miata and i have to say is perfect but, the unic inconvinient is the absence of emergenci wheel.
is it running on runflat tires? my old mazda had spares in the trunk. (takes up half my space)
No, normal tyres. But i’m shurebthe inginiers can do more space for a energency wheel
I love the Miata! Yuri should deal the Prowler for one. Even a 1991 Miata... Is Mazda okay with you guys calling the MX-5 a Miata?
Been a year boys.... time to get an RF ND2
This edition is so beautiful. It is sold out in US shortly after launch (500 cars). My opinion therefore about the price doesn't even matter :(
Yes winter
I've wanted a miata ever since I drove an NA waay back in the day, but it never fit into my lifestyle; looking into an NB as a second car, because that's what it would have to be, a second car.
The Fiat Abarth Spider isn't competition to the Miata? I know it's probably more Miata than Spider, but it's still a competitor, right?
nissan has headrest speakers in their kicks suv Bose too, so other car companys do do that. :p
My Pontiac Fiero had headrest speakers wayyyy back in 1983.
Yuri said the Prowler and Miata looks like "Reese's Pieces M&Ms." Is this another Canadian thing I'm not aware of?
