      +gianhet No auto rev matching, just perfect pedal placement for heel and toe!

    • @gianhet
      @gianhet 8 лет назад +2

      Winding Road Magazine Nice :D
      I'm not a very experienced driver myself, and even though i've only driven manuals, i still cant really heel and toe.
      I was interested in learning it, and interested in this new mx5.
      Probably gonna buy one in a few years and learn then :)

    • @ethownzbh

Practice , practice, practice man. Nothing comes naturally unless you are Senna and even he had to work his ass off.

  • @s.flanders
    @s.flanders 8 лет назад

    That is a very cool color for the Miata, and the car seems like a total winner. I'm just wondering if the Fiat version will be any better, especially in the engine/sound department. I think I'll get one of the two cars in a year or two.

    • @gianhet
      @gianhet 8 лет назад

      +Stupid Flanders in terms of look, i much prefer the mx5, as for the engine, well the fiat only has turbocharged engines i think, so less smooth throttle response ^^

  • @maximus9401
    @maximus9401 8 лет назад

    I'm assuming that this is a press car meaning you've had if for a longer period of time. I'm dying to know what you think about this car versus your personal BRZ. How do they match up? Pros-cons, which one is more fun to drive (taking into account that yours is modified of course :P)

    • @windingroadmagazine
      @windingroadmagazine  8 лет назад +5

      The BRZ is much more practical and roomy, it doesn't give up much (if anything) to the Miata in the fun-to-drive department. However, the Miata has so much more performance (and potential for more NA power). This new generation is really quick. The two cars offer completely different driving experiences: the Miatas steering is light and quick, the BRZ's is heavier but possibly more engaging. If I had to choose between the two I'd have to stick with my BRZ for its practicality and fun factor. But as a performance proposition/track toy/weekend fun car, the Miata takes the cake. -CA

    • @windingroadmagazine
      @windingroadmagazine  8 лет назад +1

      Just get the limited slip diff.

    • @maximus9401
      @maximus9401 8 лет назад

      +Winding Road Magazine That's awesome, thanks for the detailed response! The BRZ definitely has the practicality of a proper hardtop coupe which is important to a lot of people. Would you say that the power delivery of the modded BRZ is more engaging than the stock Miata? Which feels faster to your gut?

    No backup camera on a top-trim 2016 model? Come on Mazda....

    • @julianutanes3
      @julianutanes3 8 лет назад +2

      What do u need one for? U can just look behind u and thats even better with the top down. Itll just add more complication and unnecessary weight. I think that in every car the backup camera should just be an option

    • @josealexander9794
      @josealexander9794 7 лет назад +1

      Julian Utanes I think it need a backup camera.
      I got mine few days ago and a camera would be very helpful.

    • @ErectileSceptile
      @ErectileSceptile 7 лет назад +1

      Alex Alexander I just bought mine and the last thing this car needs is a camera. It's so tiny and with the roof off you can just look behind you. Backup cameras are only really needed on trucks and sedans imo, not sports cars

    • @josealexander9794
      @josealexander9794 7 лет назад +1

      Visibility with the roof up is not easy and the side mirrors are small.

  • @nzchariboy
    @nzchariboy 8 лет назад +1

    Hope Mazda adjust their gear ratios, 6th gear sits past 3000rpm on highway, kinda screws up the fuel consumption.

    • @henlolneh
      @henlolneh 8 лет назад +3

      +nzchariboy the gear ratios on mazda's 6speeds are meant to offer a decent midpoint between performance and economy. my 09 mazdaspeed 3 is a 6mt and cruising @ 75mph the engine steadies at 3k.

    • @maximus9401
      @maximus9401 8 лет назад +4

      +nzchariboy that's just the way it's gonna be man. They geared this car quite aggressively for better acceleration. There's no overdrive. 6th gear is 1:1

    • @blackjacket_
      @blackjacket_ 8 лет назад +2

      +nzchariboy I hope they don´t because that is one of the thing Miata should not be for and second, BRZ/GT86 has it like that and it sucks balls in that car

    • @VanDyce
      @VanDyce 8 лет назад

      +nonickname100 i thought the frs/brz also sits at 3k rpms at 75 mph

    • @MartinEB72
      @MartinEB72 8 лет назад

      +nzchariboy That is nothing my Miata NC sits at 4000rpm to do 80mph. I would love 3000rpm, but I heard that it is closer to 2500rpm at 80mph. And the automatic goes lower rpm at 80

    • @sterlingsilver320
      @sterlingsilver320 8 лет назад

      +Ian Soderlund I've thought the same thing Ian. This or the Fiat 124 Spider?

    • @iansoderlund3539
      @iansoderlund3539 8 лет назад

      Sterling Wilson I love the 4c's exterior but I can't stand the 124 spider. I can tell it is going to be an overpriced alfa. The miata is a bang for your buck in my opinion though.

    • @sterlingsilver320
      @sterlingsilver320 8 лет назад

      +Ian Soderlund I think that the Fiat is going to be just as good value for the money as the Mazda is. The Fiat gives you more horsepower, a better leather interior, all of the same luxury options as the Mazda and more. Plus you get Italian character and Fiat has been quoted in saying that the 124 will have much less body roll than the MX-5. The body roll was one of the main things that was talked about negatively among reviewers. Only thing I'm not sure about is that the front on the Fiat is longer than on the Mazda, and I'm hoping that it doesn't affect turn-in.

    • @iansoderlund3539
      @iansoderlund3539 8 лет назад

      Sterling Wilson There will undoubtedly be a fight for #1 on car and driver and the fiat will probably be in it. Miata was a close second to the camaro this year, but next year should be interesting to say the least.

    • @jeffpuha8187
      @jeffpuha8187 8 лет назад

      +Sterling Wilson You'll only get 5 more horsepower with the Fiat, 160 vs 155, and that's from a turbo-charged 1.4-liter engine. Though you will get 36 more lb-ft of torque. Personally, I'd rather have the Mazda's 2-liter naturally aspirated unit.
      In addition, the Fiat 124 luxury trim version-the "Lusso", is only available with a 6-speed automatic trans. I think that's ridiculous.

  • @clairebannister4749
    @clairebannister4749 8 лет назад

    Have driven both the 2.0 and the 1.5. 2.0 is rougher and rather tiresome on a long journey. 1.5 revs to 7500 and is a much sweeter engine. Same gearing, not quite as fast, but suits the nature of the car better. And less weight in the nose - comes in a 975kg.

      I don't think it need a turbo.

    • @DoSum4Me
      @DoSum4Me 7 лет назад

      Mat Mazda makes very good engines, I test drove a 2015 Mazda 3 (when they were still new lol) with the 2.0 and 6A it was really responsive and not too fast but enough passing power when needed. The MX-5 is great, but I'd take a 3 over it for practicability.

    • @josealexander9794
      @josealexander9794 7 лет назад

      We have also the CX3 at home and we was looking good gas milage, design and performance. We are getting 37mpg and surely the Mazda 3 reaches more than 40mpg, but the 2L in the CX3 makes it very responsive and driving it is nice. It makes 120 miles daily.
      The MX5 is not really fast or at least in the acceleration, easily you reach 3 gear under 40mph no pushing it too much. In highways it run as hell, but it attaches very tight to the street.

    If you need a backup camera on a Miata then you shouldn’t be driving a car!

      Well for a small car it has a lot of blindspots out back so it's not the craziest thing to add

      +Roads for the World Then name one, in the same price range.

      Audi a3 cabrio, BMW 1 convertible, Mini, Peugeot 207 cc + 308 cc

      +Roads for the World Well okay, to each his own taste, but I don't like the Mini or Peugeot. And Audi and BMW are more expensive. And neither of them is a roadster anyway. You shouldn't compare any car in your list with an MX-5. It's a totally different concept.

      @roadsfortheworld3469 8 лет назад

      +Bartmantm Audi and bmw convertibles cost around 25000 without extra features, same price as the mazda, but yes in one point you are correct, the ones I named are convertibles and not roadsters

      +Roads for the World 25k for an audi or bmw convertible? Go look up 2016 bmw Z4 roadster. base is about 25k more than what you are saying my friend.
