I just found after a month of searching a 2010 NC2 MX-5 GT PRHT in liquid silver metallic with just 1500 miles on the odometer. Not a typo-1500 miles on a 13 year old sports car! I am guessing that it was owned from new by a collector in California and in an indoor collection since it was rarely driven. I also paid a lot for that low mileage. Inside it still smells like a new car! This is my 4th NC and my second auto transmission. I just retired after 45 years driving trucks and I don't want to shift anymore. This NC2 shifts faster than a manual with the paddle shifters anyway.
When I got my first Rx7 in the 80’s every day in the summer I would wake up and look outside and if it wasn’t raining I could say”wow I get to drive my car today!!! … the Miata is the same way only more so.. great review
I love mine, but I got an automatic. Did it because my last car was a standard and my wife wouldn't drive it, which sometimes was inconvenient. Plus as it's a two-seater, which is already selfish because it puts me out of the kid-picking-up-after practice game. So I had to compromise somewhere and got the automatic. Big mistake. Takes so much charm out of the car. But its still fun.
@@wg5768 for me the traffic is the only reason to get an automatic. The perfect combo would be a manual hybrid car that engages the electric motors only in 1st gear so quicker accelerations and no traffic problem
Just about to pull the trigger on a 25th Anniversary, so of course, I'm working my way through every YT video ever uploaded on the NC. Without a doubt this is the only video that had me chuckling the whole way. All the best from the UK 🇬🇧
THEE BEST (and funnest by far) car review I’ve EVER seen. I already have my baggie of blow with too manny places in my current ride to decide where to put it. And I love to drive - radio off etc., and even though I’m almost 60, I’m definitely 16 of heart and mind. So yeah, I need this toy.
Great sense of humor! Miatas are a blast and too many people get too serious about what they lack. Just appreciate what the car is about and that is an inexpensive, fun two--seater sports car!
Three months ago I bought a 2015 Club with retractable hardtop, 30k miles, one owner, perfect Carfax. I added Kenwood touch screen stereo for Carplay. It’s now the perfect everyday driver and fun car for Colorado.
I Had a 2016 ND Miata in Ceramic Metallic With The 6-Speed, I Lowered It On D2 Coilovers and Had an Axle-Back Exhaust and XXR 18" wheels On It - I Miss That Car Alot!!!
Spot on review. Especially that feeling like a 16 year old and the smile when you drive it. I purchased a 2012 Touring (6 speed stick, of course) w/ hard top a couple weeks ago. I was looking for an old MG when a friend suggested the Miata. Better drive, better feel with low maintenance. A win, win. The main purpose of the test drive was to see if this 69 year old body with a little extra weight could get in and out of it. YES, I can! Another incentive to continue working with a trainer at the gym. Trainer: "What is your goal?" Me: "To be able to get in and out of my Miata NC2 for as long as possible."
Wow your intro nailed it!! The car is basically a toy and so much fun on backroads. It checks alot of boxes for someone who really likes to drive. I've owned an NA, NB and now an NC 6 speed. For ripping around on tight technical backroads in San DIego, an NC is about as good as it gets for the money. Slap some 200 treadwear tires on it and its amazing. Now I want to find a clean NC club automatic for my wife..
Honestly love this video. All of the reasons that you listed that directed you to buy your miata was all of the reasons I bought mine. I absolutely love my miata and I make old man noises when I get in and out as it’s been lowered 30mm so it’s more like a limbo than just getting in and out 😂😂
You sir hit the nail right on the head. My NB (2004) base Miata reduced my resting pulse and blood pressure the moment I would settle into the seat. So basic yet so wonderful. I need an NC now because it has more room. At 64, the NB started wreaking havoc on my back, but no car compares to a Miata - especially the ones without screens or steering wheel controls. Wanna sell yours?
I absolutely love my 15’nc club model. The transmission is amazing, ive out coilovers, exhaust, and its just a street legal go kart so i would recommend this car to anyone
how’s it been since owning it I heard the NC with age have coolant reservoir cracks and ac compression leaks on some models like the 2012 was thinking of getting 2015 club to daily drive for work and pleasure I dont drive hard just for enjoyment But how’s yours been realizability wise? any major fixes or tune ups or just regular oil changing maintenances. sparks etc?
@@MiStahJviet just basic maintenance so far but my clutch master cylinder went out once. Other than that its the best car ive ever owned and the most fun
@@rx8flip oh I’m guessing you had manual stick shift what was your mileage when it went out? did you drive/track it a lot or it’s mostly to go out with these years models NC?
For some reason it went out but the slave cylinder was fine. Once i replaced it its been a great car. Still going to put the aluminum moroso overflow tank in at some point. I would recommend the car to anyone who doesnt need to carry much stuff around. I have 80,000 miles on it now
I understand your points, I have one just like yours but automatic. The reason? I would upgrade it like crazy if it would be manual. My last upgrade was a WRX from OEM to 398 WHP. I don’t regret it because by all cars gurús this car should be a collection car and if you modify it it will loose it’s value, plus hoping my granddaughter gets into med school… then it will be my present to her…
That about sums it up my man. Yes, cheaper than a therapist and you get immediate results for sure. All you have to do is get in and start driving one. Put KYB's all around which stiffened up the suspension, followed by 4 all new Continental Supreme Contact tires which makes the car handle great in the twisty roads around here. Actually, driving anywhere in my "06 MX-5 is relaxing and therapeutic. You're just thinking about the driving experience and what gear to shift up or down to next.
It's crazy how expensive used cars are. I did a search just now and found one NC Miata club for 23k, all others had accident history. Prices were worse last year when I was trying to purchase one, I ended up getting 2023 BRZ.
I owned an MR2 Turbo, Mazda Miata, Honda S2000, then Infiniti coupe 6MT. My favorite was the Mazda Miata. The Miata over the S2000? Yes, you wont know until you tried it. I miss the Miata and will one day get another one. I particularly like the NC club, but any Miata is fun.
MR2 Turbo is the best car I've ever owned. But they're old now, and expensive. Can't toss it around without worrying about it. The Miata? Dime a dozen. Effortless, worry-free fun. :)
Just bought one in yesterday with the automatic. After driving a manual only since 2005 I do miss the adult pedal and understand why I sell so many brake jobs in this town. I am glad that the noises getting in and out of it are normal and love how the seat wraps around my girth like a little hug. Looking forward to cruising around with the top down while sporting one of my custom Santa hats to keep the sun off my bald head, spreading smiles and laughter as I go. BTW it is red with the black top so very appropriate. Paint is faded on the club badges, any thoughts on restoring them?
Hahahahaha omg I haven't laughed so hard, or enjoyed a TH-cam review that much in forever. "Nothing American" and "a little bag of cocaine" hahaha. Shit dude, too funny. Absolutely loved the review. Spot on.
I want to love today! Great Vid bruz. I like your fresh approach. •I’ve been wanting an Mx5 NC for a longtime. mid-aged , put on a few pounds but I think it’s just the ticket for me to hang in there😉 *note: yeah I’ll throw in an 80s cd & pop a red bull in that micro door holder thingy.
I’m looking for a NC Miata with the PRHT. I love the looks of the club but they seem harder to find and more expensive than the Grand Touring. What’s the difference between the Club and Grand Touring besides looks? The Grand Touring isn’t bad looking just not as nice as the Club.
I wish I knew manual. How many good sport cars are great because they are manuals and here I am just limited by drivig automatic because good old Merica does not offer manual as Europe does. I dont have anyone in my family or friends who knows how to drive shift either. What a sad story. :(
Yes. Pull your driver & 2 or 3 wood out of the bag. You’ll then you’ll be able to fit the bag in the trunk. Then lay your driver & 2 or 3 wood on the side of the bag.
Now in 2023, untouched stock Miatas are turning into classic collectors items. NAs anyways. Some are over $10K I've seen one high as $16K for one owner 55k miles mint one. Get em while you can I guess.
@@CryptoGuyoti Scotty Kilmer on the ND: "I've been driving like a lunatic and still getting 32 mpg" th-cam.com/video/Wsi7yEJ0Jec/w-d-xo.html So apparently not surprisingly the ND does much better. Just for fun the other day I tried to get the best mpg I could. Keeping the rpm around 2k as much as possible I was able to get the mpg into the low 30s.

Great deal, Wanna swap it with my 2005 NC1 MX-5 soft top in black with 170000kms?
Great and realistic review ! I am driving one of these for the last 4 yrs. The bad thing is the rest of the cars feels boring and dull after a Miata !

Too busy being happy. This sums it up.
Your intro got me smiling... then from there to the end I felt like you've made my day 😀
Duuude! Your sense of humor amazing. You could review a bowling ball and make it sound fun. Great video

One of the best car reviews from a dude. Thank you sir.
The door cupholders are for bottles ;) That's definitely an aftermarket radio
I love your intro! I’ve been contemplating an NC MX5 or 86/BRZ for a weekend car. Your review of the MX5 is awesome and hilarious. Thank you 😄
Just got one. Sometimes I am in disbelief at what this car can do. It is a blast.
I did sway bars, Super Q exhaust, and slightly wider tires and am pretty darn happy with it. Could use better shocks, but other than that it’s great.
Got an ND grand touring S/T last week and wow, the fun I’ve been missing.😄🤘🏼
Great commentary and spot on observations - Thanks!

That's one great mx5 review. You nailed it. Liked and subscribed. Love my 2011 nc Kandos. John in the uk

outstanding review. its how it is with these.
This review made me go out and buy a Miata. And subscribe to your channel.

Hey, watch what you say about dad noises, LOL. I'm 74 and I make those getting in and out of my NC.
Excellent video.
I want to love today!
Great Vid bruz. I like your fresh approach.
•I’ve been wanting an Mx5 NC for a longtime. mid-aged , put on a few pounds but I think it’s just the ticket for me to hang in there😉
*note: yeah I’ll throw in an 80s cd & pop a red bull in that micro door holder thingy.
It would fit a regular 375ml can of drink in the door, what's that, 12oz? I just got a small water bottle and keep that in there
Shhhhh, dont want this car getting that much attention 😅. Going to grab one by January, its an awesome underrated car!
You have no idea.
Still have my 08 with 128k Km. Still runs like new
I have a Mazda. I love my car. I get lots of compliments.
The whole video I was thinking damn, that looks like Spideys car. Small world!
This!
I got my 2013 NC Club last year, 23,500 miles. I cannot see ever not owning a Miata, ever again. Although, I am embarrassed of my dad noises...
This is gold
Great review..i have a 2015 too a 25th Anniversary Edition. I have a review on my NC on my channel.
I have that model year yes you gotta make noises entering and stepping out of the car 🤣🤣 wte is pretty cool light weight car
I enjoyed your review hahahahaha !
What's with Americans and cupholders?
So we can drink and drive.
Lmao😂.i made sure all my neighbors have dipers for the babies but my is a z3😊.cool video btw
I’m looking for a NC Miata with the PRHT. I love the looks of the club but they seem harder to find and more expensive than the Grand Touring. What’s the difference between the Club and Grand Touring besides looks? The Grand Touring isn’t bad looking just not as nice as the Club.
Club is more sporty (suspension), GT is more luxurious (leather seats). They both got the upgraded sound system, not that you'll be using it.
8:23 …. Now I want a Miata 😆
And so I went and bought one today lol
As a Miata owner, I can say, yes you do.
I wish I knew manual. How many good sport cars are great because they are manuals and here I am just limited by drivig automatic because good old Merica does not offer manual as Europe does. I dont have anyone in my family or friends who knows how to drive shift either. What a sad story. :(
Fit golf clubs in trunk?
Yes. Pull your driver & 2 or 3 wood out of the bag. You’ll then you’ll be able to fit the bag in the trunk. Then lay your driver & 2 or 3 wood on the side of the bag.
The oil pressure gauge is fake! It's just based on a calculation by the computer based on RPM and coolant temp.
Yes,and if it stops dancing, your in trouble. Or your wallet is.
Now in 2023, untouched stock Miatas are turning into classic collectors items. NAs anyways. Some are over $10K I've seen one high as $16K for one owner 55k miles mint one. Get em while you can I guess.
Cheap but not Ghetto! 😂
Uhh it doesn't get good gas mileage. If you drive it like a sports car it gets 20 mpg.
@@CryptoGuyoti Scotty Kilmer on the ND: "I've been driving like a lunatic and still getting 32 mpg" th-cam.com/video/Wsi7yEJ0Jec/w-d-xo.html
So apparently not surprisingly the ND does much better.
Just for fun the other day I tried to get the best mpg I could. Keeping the rpm around 2k as much as possible I was able to get the mpg into the low 30s.
I drive mine with 300 horsepower from an extra 0.5L displacement and a turbocharger and it still gets better than 20mpg.
yeah the new ND with the skyactiv motor is more efficient. Which is pretty impressive.
The 2015 6MT is rated 21 mpg city by the U.S. EPA. So nobody should be surprised by 20 mpg if you drive it like a sports car.
I have gotten as high as 35 mpg out of mine and I flog it most of the time I am driving it.
Is your display after market, or..?
