I feel qualified to answer this. I bought my first MX5 in 2004, a new NB. At 3 years old I traded that for a new NC with electric roof in 2007. It was by far a better car than the NB, mostly by being more refined. I ran that for 14 completely trouble free years until 2021 when I traded it for a new ND2 (nothing wrong with the NC - I just fancied a change). The ND2 was soft top as the ND RF is a mere Targa Top, not a true open car. The ND2 is a better car than the NC in every way, except for the steering. The NC's hydraulic rack was more 'talkative' than the ND's electric one. But the ND's one is good - just about 90% as good as the NCs one. But my ND2 is far better in every other way than my NC. So the message is - each version of the MX5 gets better. Which is what you'd expect.
I've owned every British, German and Italian sports car in my 72 years. This is my favorite for many reasons: reliability, cost, handling, and just plain fun.
My feeling about the MX5 NC? It is from this quote from Master and Commander: "She has a bluff bow, lovely lines. She's a fine seabird: weatherly, stiff and fast... very fast, if she's well handled. No, she's not old; she's in her prime." For a yacht she does very well!
N/C=NO COMPETITION. Phenomenal cars. Just driven one every single day for three years, 100%reliable. Great drive. Not a 0-60 car but an "everything else" car. Gives me a lick of torque at 3,500 rpm, linear acceleration and just to correct some reports-a fast car if you know how to drive it, thats why its great and famous on tracks. Without upgrades-still great on the road.💘
I've got the 25th anniversary mx5 as in the video....... but mine has the BBR 300bhp conversion plus ohlins coil over up grade! More fun than any of the high power rear wheel drive Skylines, Supras and 911's i've owned and at fraction of the cost!
As I am aging, my many MGB have lost the appeal just a bit, we sold our MGB bought the Miata, put 20k in the bank, and we love this car our NC is a dream to drive, does everything you wanted the B to do, with warm, and cold, safer and better to drive, conclusion, Miata you are the greatest!!!😃😃😃😃
It definitely does rust lol, but it's nowhere near as bad as the rust issues on the NB in my experience. NBs are worse than all of the other gens including NAs in that regard
@@ralkia NCs have the usual poor underbody protection, lack of cavity protection and a load of water traps/cavities. Not really sure how they're better other than being newer.
I've driven MX5s for over 20 years and had NAs, NBs and now have an NC. They're all fantatsic cars and different in their own ways. I love my current NC (a 2012 2.0 PRHT Sport Black...pretty much the same spec as the one featured). It is a far better daily than the earlier models albeit not quite as edgy or raw. The only issue I would take with Joe's review is that sadly they do rust quite badly. However, most owners today tend to get them rust-proofed from their first days of ownership, I know I did. All in all a great fun, practical, reliable and reasonably cheap two seater roadster.
The NC was frowned upon by the Miata purists for years. Now,because of reviews like yours they are getting their just praise. They used to be a better value here in the U.S.,but now the prices have gone way up. I have a 2008 PRHT and really enjoy it. It goes into storage every winter and has no rust. There are also many aftermarket performance upgrades for this model that really improve it. Fun,reliable and inexpensive to own,how can you beat that?
I got a 2010 with 250,000 miles (402,336 kilometers), for around $3000 USD a couple years ago. Super solid little car, and my daily too. I generally find that many people that dislike NCs will come around after driving one at the limit.
❤Finally a guy who appreciates the car for what is a fun car that never fails to put a smile on my face. Thanks for this review, and to the naysayers out there get real. Yes it’s bigger but by how much I love my NC 6 speed manual grand touring soft top.
I couldn't agree more. In fact, I just bought a good 56-plate 60k miler for just under £2½k and I'm absolutely made up with it, and I've never had so much fun at or close the speed limits. 😊
Great review, apart from the comments about 'not rusting'. All NC owners know that they do rust very badly, particularly in the rear wheel arches and sill-end panels, but elsewhere too. If you have one of these cars you must properly deal with any rust and thoroughly protect it so it doesn't rust in the future. There's so little paint from factory underneath and no protection in lots of susceptible places. It's a 2 day job at least to do it yourself, but well worth the time spent.
I think through the years time has been especially kind to the MX5. It's matured but still cheeky and more than capable as being a fun roadster. I'd have one of these and proudly display it on the driveway for all to see 👍🏻
I have had two Nc . First the full fat PHRT two litre version from 2011. Sold that as I got virtually what I paid for it after two years ownership. But I missed it ! So saw a 1.8 2007 soft top for sale on FB Marketplace . Only 23000 miles and local. Half the price of the one I just sold so I had to have it! Didn’t I ? It is slower but lighter . It still is great fun because you get rev the nuts off it and not be going silly speeds. It’s great round corners which is the thing I love the most. It’s also really well built and reliable .It is far and away more fun the the 300bhp four wheel drive Cupra which is my daily driver .
A brilliant review, really like your no nonsense fact filled videos and this one is particularly helpful as I’ve considered getting an older MX5 Thanks 👍
The NC got a bad rap not because it was a bad Miata, but mostly because there were two generations prior that didn't change much and the NC was a fresh take. The car was a 8X Car and Driver Top 10, more wins than any other Miata.
I had an early NC 2.0 and now have a Mk1 Eunos S-limited. I'll agree the NC is a more usable everyday car and would have another. The 25th anniversary is the ultimate version but still carries a hefty price premium which would get you into a decent 2.0 skyactiv Nd.
@@radekw708 well to be fair you don't NEED any convertible but that said, having a metal top that knuckle heads aren't slashing and doesn't need weather proofing every year is a great thing
This model has always been my favourite out of the whole line up. It would make me feel safer with it being a bit chunkier. Love the 25th, Kuro and Sport Black.
My first MX5 was a 1999 NB, which I bought in 2002 and drove for six years. It was a fun car. Then I sold it in 2008 and was without an MX5 until 2018, when I purchased a 2008 MX5 GT with PRHT. There is no comparison, the NC is better in every way. The only drawback with the NC was a factory suspension that was too soft and mushy. Update it to a proper suspension and it transforms the car into one of the most fun and best handling cars ever.
That sums it up pretty well 👍 when I bought mine I didn't know any of that apart that I couldn't fit in NA and that I liked NC looks better. 4 years of competing against NA's and NB's at the tracks proved that NC is definately better platform when it comes to performance driving and it is surely much easier to lived with as a daily driver .
I haveowned a nb great car. Owned a 56 plate NC. brilliant car. It never let me down, even towards the end where it was starting to cost me. It did 98k miles and the engine was as ghood as the day it was installed. never used oil, never had water ingress. one of the first unaldutarated moidels before Mazda started re organising it. I was a pur NC not NC5 or 7.5. I wish I still had it. I now run an ND totally different hndling. but not quite as much fun as th NC was.
What the Miata purists say is absolutely true. Having driven the first three generations of Miatas, the NC isn't the best example of what the Miata represents in terms of light weight, go cart handling, and simplicity. Having said that, it is a fine Miata and an excellent sports car in general. And it's noticeably roomier and more powerful than the previous generations.
Yes, they do rust. Great car though it is, check the floor just in front of the rear wheel arches. Mines was high mileage but it had 2 holes the size of a golf ball by the time it was 10 years old. At the very least, all untreated Mk3’s will have brown discolouration in this area.
Yes, you hit the nail on the head. They must be rust-proofed by owners in the rear wheel wells, especially the sill-end panels. 3 coats of hammerite for me, plus some waxoyl anti-stone chip stuff and it should be good for years. Luckily my 2010 had not rusted when I bought it, so I was able to protect it properly. Another bad rust area is where the rear bumper bar is attached to the body, this needs treating too
You mentioned NCs don’t typically rust. What did you mean exactly by that? Did you mean don’t rust as easily as the older NA & NB or in general? We have a stretch of 2-3 months of very cold winters and the roads are salted so I’m curious which would be best against rust . NC or ND? regardless of price for a daily driver year round / 5’7” single 30yr old male with no wife or children yet so interior and cargo space isn’t a high priority for me.
I like the NC because it shares its platform with my RX-8. I think that gave the RX-8 some of the nimbleness of the MX-5. Also, platform-sharing (I'm sure) reduced the cost of making the RX-8, thus reducing the price to the consumer (me.)
I sourced a 2015 NC ( last year i think for the NC's ? ) for my folks last year with just 5,000m on it! They want to sell it now as they are cracking on now in years and just find it a pain getting in and out, so I think i'll buy it back off them!
I;ve just bought one of these , great fun to drive but ignore his statement about them not rusting !!! they rust like like an asprin in water... if your going to keep one get it rustproofed
My MX-5 NC is one of my favourite possessions - pinsharp steering. Snikkerty snick gear box, nimbility (I’m even making up new words), really nice road manners. I recently was forced to replace the Mazda recommended Michelins for Bridgestones due to pandemic shortages. I was very nervous as you have to live with a wrong choice for 5 years or so. The Bridgestones transformed the car to another level. phew! My only gripe is the power hardtop failing a couple of years ago so it is now a full time coupe. I’ve been quoted absurd amounts to repair what is a just bent tooth on a sector gear. Mazda will only replace the entire rear deck structure for several thousand AUDollars. Not happy Mazda }:-(
I have a 2007 NC hardtop manual. Here in Australia, your only option was hard or soft top, Bose or no Bose. All had 2.0 engines, all had LSDs. Mine has done 205000km, about 120k miles, and it is utterly reliable. My previous car was a 2000 Boxster S, which was an amazing machine; but it cost megabucks to service and repair. The MX5 costs bugger all to run, never ever goes wrong, and is nine tenths of the fun of the Boxster.
Sports cars should have a soft top ; and the MX5 is no different . I've had two Mk 3s and two Mk 4s , all new , and all brilliant . At 83 years old , winter and summer , I drive with the top down , unless it's chucking it down . Even I can raise and lower the top in under 4 seconds , ( though , over 14 years , it has buggered my left shoulder up ) .
They do rust in fact all Mazdas are known for it I have 2017 Mazda 6 ,underneath it’s terrible compared to my neighbours 2016 508 Peugeot which has hardly if not no rust appearing on the components. My 6 underneath has rust patches on the body , there’s nothing on my neighbours 508 . I checked out a friends 2016 Mazda 3 and that appears to have a lot more rust underneath than I expected
This kind of attitude will never make me an MX-5 afficionado. I just enjoy the roadster thrills delivered by my 2006 NC1 that I've owned for 8 years now.

No, the NC has a Ford Duratec engine.

Absolutely, I checked NA and NB and got an NC instead because they were much better value for money

Great video thank you
Thanks Julian!
I get on with mine very well and would agree with everything he just said until "they just don't rust", because they really do.
The mk3 mx-5 was not tested by NCAP contrary to the video. The 2015 - a completely different car - got the 4 star rating.
You mentioned NCs don’t typically rust. What did you mean exactly by that? Did you mean don’t rust as easily as the older NA & NB or in general?
We have a stretch of 2-3 months of very cold winters and the roads are salted so I’m curious which would be best against rust .

I wish this version was 2 grand. Not in the USA. Been looking for a decent priced one for half a yr. Car market is terrible right now

I;ve just bought one of these , great fun to drive but ignore his statement about them not rusting !!! they rust like like an asprin in water... if your going to keep one get it rustproofed
The thing I think that hurt the nc most was the engine it just wasn't that rewarding to drive and that why the nd got better engines I think
The worst MX-5 is still better than 95% of all other cars.
And it's far more spacious than an ND
5:59 ❤❤❤
some of my fav roads right there!
They're great!
0-60 in 'only' 7.9 seconds? My current car does it in about 14 seconds. 7.9 seconds is warp speed to me.

Can you not operate the roof manually?
In America, the phrase would be, pick of the litter.
'Real world terms' huh? I'd rather keep believing what I always have, thank you very much. Seriousness aside, good review!
How much did he say that 14 plate was worth
Only criticism I have, which is for a lot of modern cars, no space saver. Out for a blast on a weekend ruined by a nail.
I have a 2007 NC hardtop manual. Here in Australia, your only option was hard or soft top, Bose or no Bose. All had 2.0 engines, all had LSDs. Mine has done 205000km, about 120k miles, and it is utterly reliable. My previous car was a 2000 Boxster S, which was an amazing machine; but it cost megabucks to service and repair. The MX5 costs bugger all to run, never ever goes wrong, and is nine tenths of the fun of the Boxster.
Sports cars should have a soft top ; and the MX5 is no different . I've had two Mk 3s and two Mk 4s , all new , and all brilliant .

Even I can raise and lower the top in under 4 seconds , ( though , over 14 years , it has buggered my left shoulder up ) .
I certainly think that the soft top NC looks better than the retractable hard top. Of course looks are always subjective.
I think alot of sports car owners particularly those who race them would disagree.
They do rust in fact all Mazdas are known for it I have 2017 Mazda 6 ,underneath it’s terrible compared to my neighbours 2016 508 Peugeot which has hardly if not no rust appearing on the components. My 6 underneath has rust patches on the body , there’s nothing on my neighbours 508 . I checked out a friends 2016 Mazda 3 and that appears to have a lot more rust underneath than I expected
Most of these "Purists" are too busy putting eyelashes on their NAs than taking it to the track
Not true that NCs don’t rust. Maybe not the bodywork (on my 2011 the bodywork is rust free). But underneath is a different story…
2 thousand pounds! You Brits don't know how lucky you are!
👍
I'm afraid they still rust specially underneath
NC Miata the best body style almost like a s2000 hardtop only tho NA are too soft and bubbly and NBs just look dumb
I actually think that the NB is the best looking of the bunch, especially with a side skirt kit and aftermarket wheels.
Take a look at my 2011 red sports black and say its ugly.. Its sex on wheels
Has to be NA model MX5 if you’re a purist.
This kind of attitude will never make me an MX-5 afficionado. I just enjoy the roadster thrills delivered by my 2006 NC1 that I've owned for 8 years now.
Don’t really rust 😅😅😅😅
Certainly less than a Mk1 ;)
Don’t really rust?
My A$$ 😅
Only by narrow minded people, who couldn't afford it ...
Yeah... but it's butt ugly...
so says 'cute' you. looks are objective.
