Then when I told my mom and dad about it they told me that when my mom lived in San Francisco she bought a red Miata from the production line and that my father bought a green Miata from the production line aswell !! They were not even together at that time as dad was in Florida ! They showed me pictures of them and everything which was so cool!

      I had a couple friends that asked me for a ride and I was in the Miata, well it was pouring rain and I didn't have the heart to leave my one buddy stranded, he's been there for me a zillion times, so my one friend sat next to me and the other squeeze in the trunk, of course the smaller framed buddy went in the trunk. But we managed.

  • @MrSupercar55
    @MrSupercar55 8 лет назад +3

    Where I'm from we call the Miata the MX-5, or a hairdresser's tub. And I think it would be good as a second car, but not a first car. They're not hideously expensive to insure if you don't mind paying installments to your insurance company, and they're surprisingly practical as well as sporty. And one could be yours to keep forever and cherish for £1000. Just be sure to keep a spanner and some spare parts handy.

    I never thought I could follow my previous car (Jag xk8 convertible) with anything less than would cost a whole lot of money I dont presently have.
    Then I discovered the mx5 mk3 and since I got it three weeks ago I just cant wait to jump in it everyday-and night. Luckily I bought wisely and got an absolute peach of a car. Its a 2006 model with 75k miles but its been really well looked after and looks and drives like a new car on new tyres and rocking after market wheels. Its great to get back into gears after my auto Jag and it feels like a sportier firmer ride which Im liking a lot. Its a great car-a sporting roadster. Totally recomended for the drivers amongst you!!✌🏽

    I'm getting ready to buy my first car but I can't decide between the 94 Miata and the 04 Dodge Neon srt4, both cars modified. The Miata is around $3,000 and the srt4 is $5,000. The Miata has a damaged passenger side panel but everything inside is in perfect condition with bride racing seats and no rust anywhere in or out with really nice black rims and toyo sport tires. The srt4 is completely rebuilt with it being about 80% aftermarket parts including a bigger turbo and new rims with drag slicks. The owner of the srt4 is a mutual friend that lives close by. Thanks.

    • @Tyler-js5wz
      @Tyler-js5wz 8 лет назад +3

      This depends on a lot of different things. If your idea of 'racing' is going in a straight-line from a stop, then yeah it's not the best for that. However, go on a winding road or a track and you can beat a LOT of cars that have more raw power due to superior handling and weight distribution. The MX-5 is also relatively low weight, so it's 'quick' for its engine power. Plus, its size can give a lot of advantages as far as precision driving goes. Also depends on the generation. You can get an NC MX-5 with a 6-speed 2.0l 170bhp engine, which is quite an upgrade from some of the earlier models.

    Initially buying the car will be easy, at around £2,500 for a decent NB MX5. The real issue (in the UK at least) is insurance. Insurance on a 1.6l NB Miata for a newly qualified driver at 17 years old is around £4k! That just isn’t really sustainable when you think a sixth form or college student will only be able to work 10 or 25 hours a week respectively.

    I honestly think it's better if your first car ISN'T a hatchback of a coupe... it should be a sedan imo or something of length so you get used to driving a bigger car, having your first car be REALLY small isn't necessarily a good thing for a new driver. Sure you will have an easier time parking and driving in it but that's WHY it's a bad idea to have a small car as a first car, you won't have been used to the spacial awareness of driving a bigger car and it's much easier to go from driving a big car to a small car if you have the experience. I'm speaking from someone who really wants to get a coupe as their first car because of styling but ill probably end up buying a sedan as my first then getting a coupe as my second

    @bujin5455 4 года назад +1

    The biggest reason parents aren't going to like the Miata is because if you get in an accident, death or serious injury is a REAL possibility in the tiny car. ...avoidance, like in motorcycling, is your primary form of defense, and seeing as we're talking about a driver with no real experience, well maybe they should be driving something with a bit more of a crumple zone.

    • @SuperMinecrafter200
      @SuperMinecrafter200 4 года назад

      Yeah fair and all, but if you want a safe Miata you can get/make a safe Miata, the 2019 ND comes with side and front airbags if that’s in your best interest where money’s not an issue, but as for older miatas, eg;NA/B/C, with a roll bar, and decent road awareness the cars can be pretty safe, again though as I like to say, still, if a hummers coming at you at 80mph and T-Bones you, your Miata still would act as a fashionable, sporty coffin

      I am lucky to have parents kind enough to pay for my insurance, but it really only bumped them up 40 dollars a month more, for just liability. So essentially I'd say 40-50 a month with just liability.
