Someone at the local Miata group had his ND painted pink and it looks sick! If I had the money for such a new car in such dull colors, I would definitely get the paint or maybe a wrap done
Apart from a Porsche 911 i can't think of another car than the Miata that has evolved over the years and gets better with each variant. Really tastefully modified too...
Cayman, Boxster, Corvette, Golf R, Audi RS3, Civic Type R and Ford Mustang don't exist apparently. I'd put the Camaro in the mix but that one is sadly discontinued. The Miata barely "evolves", the NB had slightly more power and different headlights, the NC got more drivable and added comfort. The ND is the only generation I'd consider a serious improvement, and even that didn't last very long. If they came with 200+ hp stock maybe they'd still be impressive today but they've been pretty much the same since 2018. I can see why people would like this idea of "staying the same" but they should step up their game. We live in a time where minivans can smoke them. Even sporty SUVs exist now that can go around rather tight corners. Their lightweight philosophy won't save them in the long run.
You’ve missed the point completely then. A Tesla Plaid is faster than basically anything. An X5 M can keep up with super cars around a track. The speed wars are over so now it’s time for fun and engaging. Go buy an electric jelly bean SUV bc that seems to fit your need for speed.
6 year owner of a daily drive in 4 season weather. Exactly the same but Artic White with the Brembo / BBS package. When the snow flies the winter tires let more of the great chassis shine thru. Really surprising how well engineered everything is in the car. Only thing is I added a active axle back exhaust system that has a butterfly valve from Flying Miata that keeps it from waking the neighbors until my foot goes down on the throttle. Fun car !
@@Zangan Not as many as I would like. Its soon to hit 30,000 miles. I live close to where I worked. Retired now so I expect to make a Journey to the Tail of the Dragon.
@@ag4allgoodyou should! i just added a Borla to my 2023 and it's louder than im used to but the downshifts and burbly sounds are really growing on me. planning to make it to TOTG soon too
>$6,000 not including installation and questionable strain on the weak ND1 transmission. I'm sure its fun but would really love to experience the SC on an ND2 since its motor has a proper OEM racecar treatment allowing more potential in the top end with its significantly higher redline.
Great video, I thoroughly enjoyed the technical explanation of the rear suspension geometry. You conveyed your point perfectly, this was a back to basics, improving on what's there, using what you have to it's fullest potential.
@@alancrisp1582 It's a play on the meme "Miata is always the answer." I own an FR-S so power isn't the most important thing to me, but it would certainly be nice to have more.
Great video and absolutely great car. Small, pretty, comfortable, reliable and a helluva amount of fun. What's not to love? I personally love the targa like design wise but, well that's me. However, I'm pretty sure there is a Miata for every need and definitely with the supercharger, this particular one adds a little bit more ooomph! Anyway, as I said Great car and great video as always Kennan. Again much love and support from yours truly in West Spain🙂
This miata looks fantastic. I have a question… I know cars and bids will look after shipping a car, but I’m also wondering if they have a contact or if they will also take care of the hassle of bringing the car to Canada? I hear it can be a less than fun process.
Well, a side from the power, it'd be nice to have a little bit more leg room and headroom when the top is closed. That would make the car so much more feasible for tall people. And really this is all you need for a sportscar. I hope the wizards at Mazda are taking notes because I'd love to own one.

I'm sure Doug does not care as he is making tons of money and is very successful now, But this channel is done a total 180. It's now probably one of the most boring car review channels on TH-cam right now. I mean Doug couldn't even review a car that was engineering explains. I say that is a long time for subscriber of many many years, it's just disappointing to see.
Doug’s main channel still exists. Doug was not in town when we filmed the EE Miata. Kennan and Alanis are finding their groove for reviews. Thank you for the feedback.
Ok, that confirms it, Doug and his team are now officially a part of the delusional EV propaganda First was Donut, and now Doug,,, what a shame, I still have faith in Tyler Hoover!
I wish the modern Miata came in exciting colours like that yellow right from the factory.
Yeah I went with a 30th anniversary for that reason alone
Cars should be fun colors!
@@htasker8Excellent, we need fun, unique colours back on all vehicles (and you shouldn't have to go to a higher trim level to get it either)

Proud owner of a 2021 nd2 RF, best car ever made.
Same
So much great mx5 content this week. Haggerty, CarWow and now Cars and Bids, loving it
Glad you like them!
It's time to really start driving prices for these up, i guess. There are rumors the next one will be heavy and electric.
Now give me a v10 Miata update.
Indeed 😄
Its like the YTCU planned this. I love it!
Gotta assume that a car owned by EE was very well maintained, probably just a notch below Leno.
Please make this a full series! The engineering is the most interesting thing about cars and this was great.

That is awesome! I bought mine brand new last year and daily it as well. How many miles have you accumulated so far?

It's nice that supercharging an ND1 is fairly affordable and straightforward. ND2-beating performance is just a few grand away. 🤗
>$6,000 not including installation and questionable strain on the weak ND1 transmission. I'm sure its fun but would really love to experience the SC on an ND2 since its motor has a proper OEM racecar treatment allowing more potential in the top end with its significantly higher redline.
@@DomSchiavoniplanning to add one to mine! wdym when you say racecar treatment? just the increased hp/tq?
People just don't know how fun those Miatas are to drive. Mine feels like a go cart. It just feels so good to drive especially on curvy roads.
Great video, I thoroughly enjoyed the technical explanation of the rear suspension geometry.
You conveyed your point perfectly, this was a back to basics, improving on what's there, using what you have to it's fullest potential.

@@carsandbids Keep up the great work ❤️😃
I have the '17 Fiata. Exact same cabin experience but with a little grunty turbo.
I prefer the Fiata's styling over the Miata. The Miata is squinty and angry, the Fiata looks like a modernized classic 124 (as it should).
Instant classic! His best episode yet!
This car is magical, the most fun car to drive u can buy brand new today at any price, u can spend millions n not have more fun
Really enjoy Doug and Kennan's reviews.
More power is always the answer.
🤔 Why ?. The traffic police 🚨 must love drivers like you !!..

Our Aussie "Bullet roadster" is the answer =when u merge a mx5 with supercharger v8 🤙🇦🇺
Oh snappy oversteery
Doug and Kennan = bags of milk
Kennan giving an amazing overview of a great car as always
I appreciate that!
Would be nice if they wrapped the top, interior door panels as well. I asked them to do mine. Makes a big difference
they made the transmission lighter but weaker, some ended up installing the nc transmission which is bullet proof
How was the NC, a small RWD car based on the RX8 a much bigger FWD. If this is correct it would be like discovering the S2000 is based on the Civic...
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it

We don't have a white glove service, but we could assist with some basic information. We do sell a lot of cars that are already in Canada.
Or a GR86/BRZ twin…. Maybe

Love it, but you know this had some HARD miles.
Mazda removes 15 lbs from transmission... Then transmissions grenade themselves
True Story.
Fortunately Mazda redeemed themselves by giving the ND2 a proper racecar motor with more power & redline and updated various items within the trans/flywheel/tuning to increase transmission reliability.
Not unless you're 6'5 :(
Yeah, not tall guy friendly.
🤔 How many men are as tall as that, or in fact over 6 feet ?.
2:20 and yet its still cute

The MX-5 content drop today seems a bit sus. Mazda is ready to reveal the NE?

What section of r/Conspiracy are you in?
How do you get that from this video?
Wait, let me get my tin foil hat.

You really are.
