The car in the video isn't a Club. It has leather seats, which means Grand Touring. But the Club suspension was optional on the NC Grand Touring, and it included LSD with manual trans. And the shocks and springs are aftermarket. So assuming the car has LSD, it drives the same regardless of trim.

This is NOT a Miata, it's a MX5. Mazda dropped the Miata name in the early 2000's, but people like you seem to refuse to let go of the name, which is a horrible name. So WHY do you continue to call it a name that the company dropped for a very good reason??????????????? And it was NEVER a Miata in Europe or Asia, where it's just called Roadster. Mazda Roadster, or MX5 both sound a ton better than Miata. So why not give it up and move on, instead of continually calling the car by the incorrect name? On the other hand, I agree completely about the NC. I have an earlier model FBO, and it is a ton of fun. But trust me, coilovers is the way to go. I raised mine just a quarter inch, and it didn't drive nearly as well. As soon as I put it back down, it was perfect again. Good coilovers are so worth it on this car.

We did the dragon in our RC350 F sport a year ago, but just picked up an NC1 PRHT and I'm dying to get it to Deal's Gap. Less HP but I'd guess twice the fun. I had a 2004 and I really don't know why I got rid of it. These are truthfully special cars. You'll lose nearly every drag race, but it they put a curve in the straightaway you have a chance!

Sensational video, thanks for showing how the NC takes corners.

I'm in my 50s and 6'0" 245lbs. I find that I fit in my NC2 Miata much better than my previous NA or the ND I've tried. The NC is the perfect blend of fun and comfort for me.

Excellent vid thanks for sharing 🙏

At 73 mph in sixth gear I’m right around 3300 rpm

There’s no way anyone in a NC3 is going to travel down the highway without getting out of third unless you drive at 40 mph. Lol

I was amazed at how my ‘13 Club performed at the dragon. I was pleasantly surprised!

Excellent video and commentary, Thanks for creating this!

Wish it came with the parts bin ZF shifter like the rest of JLR's current line up. I hate the dial.

Nice driving review.

6:00 RIP snake :(

Just bought a 2007 NC PRHT and I love it. Cant stop shifting all 6 gears. Never knew untill I test drove one and I was hooked.

I agree. I have a 2012 NC and I love it. It's the best Miata ever. Glove box, 4 cup holders, hydraulic steering wheel, one exhaust on each side, and longer transmission shifts like you said. True red color!. Great review!

Interesting that you say it feels wider than the ND, while the ND is actually 15mm wider than the NC. I guess the ND looks a bit smaller and sleeker (despite being actually larger) because it has this low tapered bonnet and possibly thicker doors, so the seats might be a bit closer together

Nice video. A bit less talking about your opinion would be helpful. Also did you forget to get dressed before making this?! undershirt and shorts for sleeping.

This is the best ever driving review I have seen of any car. Very good commentary.

What exhaust is on the car? Sounds awesome

Nice review!

Where did you get 1 of 20? I have fuji white one and sales say 250 in the USA.

Love my NC2…PRHT! I had an NB and while it was fun the NC fits my body better. I’m 6 ft and 225-230 so that extra inch in width comes in handy plus having a full hardtop that I don’t have to leave in the garage is great. I drove the ND1 RF, nice car and I think it’s beautiful but it’s lacking in storage and a little more cramped I just didn’t like the targa top feel. If that top was fully retractable like my NC I would have spent the extra 8-10K. Thankfully for my wallet it doesn’t!

The seat is not all the way back.

Koni Yellows ARE coilovers, as are the original suspension components on the NC.

Such a fine car! So sorry you don’t fit, man. What can I say… sometimes life’s unfair.

Underpowered car from factory

Can you tell me what sound system Alex upgrade to in this car? Did he install a backup camera? Thank you

What an incredible review man. So detailed and precise with your points. I also appreciate how you’ve brought your own perspective on the car instead of over killing what any reviewer would say about a Miata. Keep up the good work!

Was that a snake?

Great review. I own a mx5 nd from 2019 and every thing you said is so true. It is de most fun car that I ever had however the other cars had much more horsepower.

Two problems with this video. The car is not 2300 lbs, closer to 2600 with prht and all options. And in video description you said it has long gears. It takes 3 shifts to get to 60mph and revs at almost 4000rpm at about 70mph.

This is crazy, I was just watching videos on NC Miatas and saw my car in this one, the blue Si. My group and I stayed in a cabin. Blue si, white s4, 3 Mustang GTs, a gt350, and a couple bikes. Cool car!

Keeping my kuro nc for life. Have had na's and nb's, both great, fun cars. The nc is a General upgrade and redesign. 400 mile range, better ride quality, Longer gearing. A better all round, Entry level sports car. 👍

Fantastic review. I’m one of those guys who work from home. I’m looking for a car that I can have fun with and not spend a ton of money on. The MX five will be my car. Thank you for your review.

Love the NC, I have a 25th anniversary edition ( I'm in Ireland) and I'm heading to BBR in the UK for their super 200 package which adds another 47HP and 27 torques,cant wait!! Nice vid btw, really enjoyed that

why do people fit massive tyres on these cars? The whole point is the chassis is playful, and that you can get the back end to kick out a little. Stick 235's on it and you might as well get a 4wd car, it'll have zero playfulness and you'll have increased the unsprung weight. Well done, you just made your car worse.

Do an NA next!

I been thinking about a wagon for next car maybe a Benz lol

This car is so cool, I learned a lot

I test drove 2 ND's earlier this year, then absolutely fell in love with the first NC2 I drove. Somehow the NC feels so much more alive, way more mechanically connected. The ND was very smooth but you feel isolated from the engine and front wheels, the NC throws all of that vibration and texture through to the driver and it's amazing. Both wonderful, but an NC Club is perfect in my opinion

A Flyin' Miata Clutch happy meal light flywheel does wonders, but you do get transmission chatter. Hey, I got the same wheels on mine, but they are gunmetal. I love my NC2, cheers!

Miss my NC!

Love the video but make sure the owners empty the car, whatever is in the cup holder or compartment sliding around is distracting. Keep up the amazing work

Great work! Let me know if you want any stills for your videos.

You know I had to be first for this one Absolutely love NCs

u was sending it bro car sounds good on them mountain walls nothing beats that wide open sound in the mountains

It sounds absolutely insane!

Beauty! and is that a Century in the background? You gotta review that!!

I wish I could fit in a miata...
