Damn, my dude. You're thorough and your monologue sounds very organic, yet you have very few cuts and pauses. Very impressive, very engaging.
Thank you for noticing that and saying that! I actually do each part in one take and it is unscripted. Thanks for your support!
Lord Tippington the Wise - Atheist Knight of Le Reddit Gentlesirs kudos!!
Joe, I actually traded my 2018 Mustang GT 6 speed for the 2019 MX5 Miata Grand Touring 6 Speed with the GTS Package (Bilstein's, limited slip diff, engine brace, etc.). I daily drive this little beauty and smile from the time I leave my driveway until the time I return and turn off the engine. It is a "Smiles Per Mile Car" that rolls through the gears seamlessly and hugs corners like glue! It is plenty fast and I do not miss having 460 horsepower rolling under my butt!
Michael Felt thanks for sharing your experience with me! You are so very right!
Michael Felt thanks for sharing. I bought my 2019 rf a month ago, still waiting for it to be built and shipped from JPN to CDN and I was close to signing papers for the GT
So good to hear! I’m currently strongly considering trading my 2017 Mustang GT for a 2019 club. Obviously my biggest concern is the significant loss of power but I was hopeful that the fun factor would be different but just as high. Cheers!
I traded in my 17 ss1le camaro, bought a ND2 and have it turbocharged ..Its the best car I've ever owned . Amazing
@@mchowster88... You probably have your Miata by now. How long did you have to wait for it? TY.
Cannot wait to upgrade from my 2007 Mazda 6 to THIS BEAUTY!!!!!!
You will love it Sophia!
I’m going to buy this as an road trip car. I knew it’s gon be fun
I just got that exact same car same color. Waiting for it to be delivered. Can't wait!!!
This channel needs more subs! Seriously, great camera work and sound, plus it"s so detailed and focused on their reviews!
The new engine kind of transforms the MX5 compared to the “old” 160PS version. The extended redline and happier revving just makes it such a more rewarding blast!👍 The sportscar recipe is always the same: n/a engine, stick shift and rwd with a lsd..... price worthy magic!👏👏👏
I could not agree more with you!
Hi Joe, I really like your style, and now that you're introducing a bit of history you have boosted your reviews. Thank you!
Thanks for taking the time to say that Miguel!
Taught my sisters to drive manual in my Miata...they didn't stall once! It's a super easy car to learn on. Only thing i did was before we started I held our hands together in a High five style manner. With our hands together i gave pressure and told them to let off pressure slowly...after a few times i was able to settle what the definition of slow was. They were driving immediately afterwards with a big smile!
This fine review helped me making my decision. From today on I'm a proud owner of this amazing car. Thanks Joe !
Congrats Nik! I am so happy that I could share what this car has to offer!
I just bought mine today :)
@@flick8583 bought one 4 days ago, cant stop driving it!!
One of my all-time favorite cars. Nice review Joe. As always.
Gregory Merritt sabers here! Thanks for the compliment!
Joe I went from a Focus RS to an ND Miata Club with the exact same specs as your press car (Brembo+BBS+Recaro). Mine has coilovers and an exhaust and let me tell you I love the car so much. And I’m getting 30mpg!
Make the switch too 👍
thillyard1 thanks for that awesome input!😎👍🏻 it’s on my short list!
Hey what exhaust did u get?
excuse me I went with the Goodwin Racing SSST. It’s awesome and I shed weight.
excuse me great question!
thillyard1 nicely done!
Thanks brother. Excellent review. I owned the original in 1990. This is the most fun to drive car ever made. God bless you.......Another thing enthusiasts need to consider. You can daily drive this car with excellent reliability. It's cheap to maintain as well. You can get 300,000 miles, or more with no problems. Try that with any exotic.
Thanks for letting me share it with you and thank you for sharing your story with us!
very well said,i agree!
Is this your third Review of an MX-5 in all Formats? Another BRILLIANT review. I have the MX-5RF 2019 Model and I LOVE it!! The smile is on my face everytime I get in.. :)
Thanks for watching them all! I really appreciate you sharing your input as an owner!
This video has me so hyped for this car ! Excellent video ! Your best yet !
Took me awhile.. But I found the driving spot.. Boy scout rd, and patterson rd man.. those are some nice rds..I haven't tried Crawley yet...But when My car gets out of the shop.. I'm driving there next. Zoom Zoom.
Great review! I've had my eye on this car for a while. This is exactly how I would pick it!
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Every single convertible needs to have that quick install roof, amazing
@David Jakubiak seems like more often than not, its more of a chore than hassle free to put them on
Niko Soviet you are so very right!
David Jakubiak that’s a good point!
Niko Soviet so true!
David Jakubiak 😎👍🏻
I love your enthusiasm with this vehicle. It truly is such a fun car to drive.
Thanks for saying that!
Excellent review! Thoroughly enjoyed how you cover all the details.
Thanks that really means a lot!
perfect, beautiful sportscar! i work by an mazda dealership when the 1st generation came out. it was love at first sight... perfect review! greetings from austria🏎💨
Martin S thanks for watching from across the pond! You are so very right!
You're one of the few true reviewer/enthusiasts on youtube.. thank you.
Great review....your enthusiasm is contagious! I got a 2019 Club (w/o Brembo/BBS/Recaro) in Soul Red Crystal and it is fantastic. Can't wait to get past the 600 mile recommended break-in. The perfect car.
I bought the 2018 Club version. I love this car. It is so much fun and responsive. I can’t wait for the sunny 65 degree weather today!
Loved that. One of my favourites. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
What a great, up beat and positive review! Enjoyed it very much, I just wanna go out and get a miata now! 😁
Pete thanks for saying that! It really means a lot!
Remarkable review my friend! I have a 2016 GT in Ceramic Metallic, just like the one you test.Your feedback, and impressions of the driving experience are perfect! I can even sense the added revs you access in your ND2, but also the greater sense of low end torque I get in my ND1. You drive the car just as it demands, and requires to show its capacity, and it's rewards. I live in San Diego Co. CA. and get to drive this a mile high via S6/S7 to Palomar Mountain.......wait until you get this baby in curvy elevation!
I own a 2018 model equipped like this - Ceramic metallic with a Dark Cherry top; the car is a blast to drive! The Club edition with the Brembo/BBS/Recaro package is the only way to go! 😎
You are a lucky man Kevin!
Love your enthusiasm
Koorosh Mirkhani thanks for letting me share it with you!
I sold my MX-5 NA SV/black and bought the new 2019 soft top with Recaro seats and Bildstein and 184 hp. I was immediately thrilled after the test drive. The new ND came back to the roots of NA. Also in the area of weight. He is a lot of fun and I can highly recommend the new MX-5 ND. He conjures a smile on your face while crusing
Your review of the Miata is great. Your excitement is our excitement. Makes me want one too. I like when you talk about the vent in the middle and you said they found an extra bit of real estate lol.
Thanks for your kind words and for taking the ride with me!
Raiti's Rides The center vent replicates the shape of the tai lights. Great review! Love the enthusiasm and I definitely want one too!
The best reviewing the best...nice job Joe
Daniel Thomas thank you so much that means a lot!
Fantastic video,trouble is now I want one.First time viewer and subbed as well. 👍
It's beautiful😍😍 love the color
Thank you for this great review. I ahve always liked the Miata, you make me want to love it and buy one ASAP.
Thanks for saying such wonderful things!
simply awsome review man i absolutely want one now..fantastic Joe
Thanks Jim! It is a great car!
You are reviewing my taste in cars, SUBBED!
Amazing videos man!!! Keep it going
I really appreciate you saying that!
I love to watch your review, finally I got mx5rf 2019. Thanks for good car review 😊
Thanks my friend! I am grateful for your support!
Love your videos, really great job!👍🏻👍🏻
That is so awesome of you to say that! Thank you!
Another great review. Love the history lesson too. I had a 97 M Edition for a while. Miatas are truly special cars.
Thanks! I really appreciate you saying that!
I just bought a 2019 ND that is IDENTICAL to this one a couple of weeks ago, Club soft top, Ceramic Metallic, BBS/Brembo/Recaro and appearance packages, the only thing mine doesn't have that this one does is the red aluminum oil cap. It is by far the best Miata I have driven. I love it. This is the perfect spec in my opinion. The paint is stunning in person, it looks grey in the shade but bright metallic white in the sun. I completely agree with you about the fit and finish, it really feels like a car worth much more than it actually is. Anyone that is looking at buying a ND, I couldn't recommend it enough.
Thanks for sharing your great input! Congrats on your new Miata!
I´m in love with this car, soon will tuck myself paving roads!
My next car Great review as always Joe! Keep up the great work...
You will love it! Thanks for letting me share this one with you!
I daily drive an ‘18 in GT trim. It’s a joy to drive, and is my favorite car I’ve owned. About 28,000 miles on it so far and it’s been perfectly reliable, plus I’m averaging over 33 mpg in mixed driving. As they say, Miata is always the answer. 😁
Buying it Joe!! You deserve it!!
Terry Smith thanks for saying that!
Love my 21' club! Love it even more with Fab 9 tune and HKS exhaust.
All I can say Joe is we think alike. The more I look around for a sports car, the more I come back to this MX-5. It truly is the definition of an open roadster. Porsche makes a couple of roadsters as do other companies, but they are very pricey. Like you said, bottom line is how enjoyable this car is to own and drive. My only problem is trying to decide between this model or the RF version, which gives us both, a hard top and convertible. Here in central america, where I've retired to its always summer time. However, it has its rainy seasons as well. Thats where the RF would be more practical, in my mind. Outstanding presentation Joe, keep em' comin', thanks!
Paul Knauf I’m so glad you loved this one. I actually got sad when they came and picked it up.
I owned 911 but I feel Jealous whenever I see this one.
I've owned an RF for two years now, in a rainy city - if you're concerned about rain I'd definitely recommend it. The lines also look incredible, it's got a very Jaguar/Porsche sort of look, with very aggressive and meaty haunches. It's a very different style compared to the soft top, I absolutely love it!
It is a blast!
You are so very right!
Nice vibes man... saludos desde colombia 🇨🇴 👍🏾
Thanks Freddy! I really appreciate that!
Love the Miata! GREAT REVIEW!!
Thanks Edward! That really means a lot!
More cars should come with factory BBS wheels like they did in the 80s & 90s
AGREED!
Hello joe,
This car made me trade in my beloved 2017 mustang gt sport pac. I can use most of the rpm's and the balance, o my god is it good.
Jonathan Stoddard I totally agree with you!
Glad to see your enthusiasm for this awesome car. Thanks! However, I get way better mileage thant 26 in the city. Mine is almost 35 in the city and 40 on the highway.
Thanks for saying that and for your extra input!
Congrats Joe on getting them press cars !!
Thanks you for saying that! It just proves that hard work does pay off!
Can’t wait to get one. Great little roadster!
You will love it!
I just went from a built 370z no regrets going with the 2019 mx5 plus the recaro seats are worth it. Whole different driving experience.
Nice review!
Thanks Eunice for saying that!
I had an NC Roadster coupe. I now have a 981 boxster s and jag f type v6 s, both convertibles but i still want an ND in my line up....says a lot about this car!
Finally make enough money to afford a new car. I watched your video on the Toyota 86 TRD and now this one. Great videos.
I like the fact that you try to reply to every comment even though the video is months old 👌
I love the sound
I totally agree with you!
Amazing video!!!
Cristho Sanchez thanks for letting me share this one with you!
I have a 2003 Shinsen Edition. Only 25k miles. Looking forward to purchasing one of the new ones. Great review. Nice job.
Oh wow that is really awesome Paul!
I have not met or talked to a single person that actually drove a Miata and did not like it. Even people with $200k+ cars still really love how the Miata drives. It's tough to describe to someone how it feels, they just have to drive it to find out.
Hey Joey, thanks for the scenic drive finally!!! Isn't this Mazda's 30th anniversary model yr? Anyway, I enjoyed this vid enormously! WOW, Mazda Miata has come a long way since it's debut in 1989? I remember the original one because my boss (female) purchased one in 1989.
Greg Holman the 30th anniversary should be hitting dealers soon but they all sold out. I’m so blessed to finally be getting some press fleet vehicles. It allows me to get to the twisty roads! Thanks for letting me share this ride with you!
Damn i want one now to park next to my Red Veloster N! Front wheel boost and rear wheel NA. That would be a nice garage no? So thankful these car brands make these sweet cars that are actually attainable for regular people!
Very nice video ! Small point of order, you said the weight difference between the ND and the original NA is 300lbs when in fact the ND is only about 150lbs heavier.
Thanks for that extra info I appreciate it!
Instant rewarding fun available at both under and over the speed limit 😁. I miss my 95's quick soft top. My lexus's hardtop takes up/down 20 seconds to operate and I need to pull over or have a long light to operate it.
I totally agree with you!
Pretty cool to get a week with a press car MX-5 Joe. Those little beasties are such fun to drive, I'm not at all surprised you don't want to hand it back :)
Sophdog I appreciate you letting me share the fun with you!
Test drove a new ‘17 Grand Touring when my wife was getting her Cx5 at the time. Wasn’t too impressed. Thought the car was too soft and engine left me wanting more.
Fast-forward to a couple weeks ago, I test drove a new ‘19 Club right before also test driving a new ‘19 Civic Type R. What a difference from the ‘17. Suspension felt just right. Not too firm, not too soft. I would definately throw some sway bars to eliminate some of the body roll. Engine felt more like a Honda than the Type R did. It was reminiscent of an AP1 S2000, just lighter on it’s feet. The newer 181hp engine made it so much more fun to drive. Just the right amount of power/weight.
I am currently waiting for 2020 orders to open up so I can go place one for a new Soft Top Club w/BBS-Brembo & Recaro packages & manual transmission. It truly is the perfect sports car. A street-legal gokart and bargain for under $40k US.
Great review. Agree with everything you said.
Thanks for sharing your great input from your experience! I really appreciate you sharing that great input! I appreciate the compliments.
Hey Joe! Two words , Gear Gasim. Leaves ya speechless don't it? Great guys! 😎👍
david kucher yes sir! I love it!
I have a 2014 tuned cammed GT, if your ever in south Florida Let me know and you can Review it and drive it
Can yo email me at raitisrides@gmail.com
Love that color and package too.
amill1563 I totally agree with you!
@@RaitisRides Could maybe have a dark red or brown interior. Maybe even dare I say a green leather interior.
That would be inetersting!
Another great video, thanks! This reminds me so much of 13 years ago when I went to test drive a Mazda 3, and went home with the (then brand new NC, 3rd gen) MX-5. If the new one was a tad bigger and still had the folding hardtop I would likely have bought one. Very happy with my Z4, but I love the simplicity of the MX-5. I think the current power is just about right; makes it more often fun to drive. Hard to have fun when you’re speeding as soon as you shift into 2nd gear. 😎
Ed P I totally agree with you!
Doug demuro gotta watch out for rattis rides
Thanks for saying that! It really means a lot!
Still the most appealing affordable sports car in the market today Nice review
I couldn't agree more with you!
Hands down the best sports car available today.
I get mine straight from the factory in 3 days, been waiting for almost 2 years :D IM PUMPED black RF 2019 184 horsepower recaroseats, strutbar,
I really wanna get aftermarket coilovers and a new exhaust, but its a shame to touch such a nice car so new and fresh
thoughts are welcome
I own a 2017 gt convertible and love it , unfortunately living in Alberta Canada the car stays in the garage for 5 months of the year year but the 7 months on the road are a blast . I recommend this car for anyone that has a few extra dollars and wants to enjoying the driving experience all over again 😃
I appreciate you sharing your input and perspective! Thank you for watching!
Yep, as I've been saying that this is the best car to get. The reliability, performance and the MPG are excellent. With the exception of the seats I would get the sport and put in the option myself. I would get one of those 13 inch Brembo brake kit and wider 17 inch wheels. It's a great commuter too.
You are so very right!
I would love this car!
I wish it had door pockets or something, but its a really neat car.
Austin Agli I love it too. That is a great idea!
That car is beautiful!
Great review, my guy. I just ordered a 22 Club with these options, in manual, thanks to great videos like yours. I'm trading in a Mazda3 Turbo Hatchback which is a fantastic, but slightly boring car. Should have been a manual but I guess that's why the Miata exists.
Frank and I love this car! You put the bug back in him. We need to win the lotto so we can have one of everything with a nice big garage 😂! The color is beautiful! The Recaros look so nice and I love the wheels!
Nette Jean I feel the same way! If I win the lotto I’ll buy you guys one!😎
@@RaitisRides Sounds good 🤣. If we win, we'll get you one 😉!
Sounds like a plan!
19:50 to add: most roads actually slope downwards from either side. So in most cases if you left off the wheel it will eventually pull your right I guess as a safety precaution so people don’t run into people on the other side head on when they’re impaired
It's to drain away rain water to the sides.
Had our ND for 4 years in the UK spec still love it and no desires to upgrade from the Icon model we chose .
Smaller 1.5 lump which IMHO by keeping the weight down makes it perfect for our narrow twisty lanes .
That said it still has the same 7500 rpm lighter flywheel higher compression and reworked header that the new 2.0 has copied in the later models.
Splitter and skirts the same but standard brakes ( it’s a momentum car so don’t touch them much)
What ever model you have the MX5 is low on price super high on the fun factor no other roadster comes close .
No telescopic wheel which would be nice on ours but I’m 6’1” and it still feels fine the wife is 5’6” and she is ok .also.
Happy motoring all you guys
I almost bought this car. But I opted for a lotus elise instead, but this is the best of both worlds.
So very true!
Great review- love the passion! Well wow this car just just as awesome now, 3 years later- classic design. Shame about the placement or rear camera and shark fin tho.
The ON THROTTLE is so much fun!
That’s a neat little car! The seats are amazing. I was wondering what’s behind that little pop out thingy on the top edge of the grill below the drivers side headlight? None on the passenger side. Also one on the rear to the right of the license plate. I’m thinking towing points? Nice job Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
L S you are spot on with the towing hooks! Thanks for letting me share this one with you!
The Miata giggle/grin strikes again!
Future collectors car 👌🏼
EmilioLV126 yes sir!
Sounds better than I would have imagined. I mean, obviously it’s not going to have a rumble but it’s got an all business sort of old time hum to it, like an old MG or Triumph, but more refined.
You are so right Mickey!
Awesome car. I've really been debating between trading in my fiesta st for this or a brz, but Alaska makes my st very practical!
This is very true!
Great video, but a suggestion may be that the screens be swapped. Merry Christmas!
Thanks Jerry for the feedback! Merry Christmas.
YES. Miata is always the answer!👍
Hillbilly Sportsman I’m starting to believe that!
Given the car shortage This is the car I can still find around that I can't wait to buy. Two seats...Manual Transmission....Brembo's .....Great seats. Who need 500 H.P. to have fun !
Raiti is a funny guy, Raiti is also deeply knowledgeable.
Hi Joe, thanks for this perfect review of my most favorite sportscar, I've sold my NC yesterday and now I'm waiting for the 30th anniversary edition of this ND MX5 which should arrive next week.... in "racing orange"... Brembos, Bilstein, Recaros.... And then riding first on Black Forest streets in Germany 🇩🇪
Hi Bert! Thanks for letting me share this one with you! Congrats on your 30th Anniv MX-5! You are going to love it!
Dude you look real at home in this automobile! A contender perhaps?
Thanks I appreciate it! It is actually on my short list!
My wife has a 2017 Miata its a fun car. My only complaint is the passenger seat has less leg room than the driver seat. This car handles the corners like a dream.
That is so. very true Wes!
I would love to take a drive along the backroads of New Zealand!
Eric Hon perfect car for kiwi land, I know I have a mk1 mx5 and its amazing, cheers bro
I would as well!
Thanks for sharing that!
Raiti's Rides your welcome in new Zealand anytime brother....
That would be thr trip of a lifetime!
I get made fun of driving and owning my nd but it is worth it, so worth it. JOE you raced cars, so you know what this car is. I daily it year round in Calgary alberta Canada. That means lots of snow. It becomes even more fun in the winter with good winter tires.
My wife has a Golf R mk7 which was mine and i don't miss it at all.
You should get a miata!!!
Same here they just don't know how fun it is,don't let them drive it they'll get hooked 😁
Thanks for sharing that perspective from your experience! It is an amazing!
I totally agree Michael!
Who makes fun of you for driving the ND mx5? Give me addresses and I'll take care of the rest 💀
