Some say the Lotus is still at the starting line
James Crosby haha 😂
James Crosby 😂😂
True
Dude had no idea how to grab two support braces and a roll on top in one go.
Poor Elise :D
Why can't people understand that this is a joke? It's funny as hell.
Neil Kee its not a joke, issa miata
Its not a joke. The point was to put the roof up and then go when the the race started
Neil Kee how was this funny as hell
Neil Kee haha it isn't bitch
Huh.. well... what is not funny to you sir
It seems like a lot of people didn't get this race. You have to convert your convertible before you take off. That's why the Mazda won. Pretty cool commercial.
Actually, I'm almost confident that all those cars can drive without putting up their roofss.
LOL
It's like the race between the turtle vs. the rabbit.....who will win? ..of course the turtle. :)
+John Conroy yeah but it starts raining and so they see who's car is the fastest IF you have to put the roof up before you take off. Of course you don't have to
So basically Mazda are saying 1/4 mile we can win a drag race but only if every competitor puts their roof up first. This really doesn't make their car look too good if they can only win this way
We know that it’s a dumb commercial
i have an mx5 soft top. roof up in three seconds. while driving up to 40MPH.
how fast can you put up a hard top?
How does it hold up in winter? I imagine your car must be pretty cold on the inside
as fast as you can fetch it out of the garage
@@Adas2472 late response, but the Miata has extremely good heaters. To the point where I'll leave em on for a bit and turn em off in the middle of a snowstorm, because it just got so hot inside
@@ErectileSceptile I can attest to that, those heaters on full even - °c outside I'm sweating
Cute comercial. Mazda isn't about flat out supercar speed. They're simply poking fun at all these over price death traps and putting some reality into what its like having a super car for a daily driver. Well done Mazda.
David S BOI ✋🏽 Miatas are deathtraps... theyre like the smallest damn cars on the road
Exactly this!
Miatas are fun, especially the manuals. You can easily mod them to be fast if you like without breaking the bank.
@@TheNuclearBolton lol this guy said "fast"
@@SharkByteOfficial have you heard about the Mustang's two star safety rating?
Conclusion: My car is hardtop so I'll beat them all...
Josh Chen except in the fun department.
wtf no its not
mi nam chegg forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?t=337117
Tldr: soft top about 5 lbs lighter on the miata.
😂
@@Lee-70ish miatas are slow as hell.
The only way a miata can win a drag race.
Miatas aren't build for the artificial conditions of drag races. Miatas excel going through corners, throw in some curves and the only car that can beat the miata is the Lotus and they are twice the price.
stardude692001 Twice the price and twice as sexy
stardude692001 wtf are smoking. Stock for stock every car in this video is faster than the mx 5, in drag race and cornering and circuit. Stock for stock the mx 5 is underpowered and and suspension too soft.
Maybe a modified mx5 can do as you say but no way in hell can a stock mx5 beat any factory porsche or lambo or vette. Your dreaming boy
Kurt Bang Tidy faster doesn't always equate to better, bud. And in those selection of cars, the miata is the best handling one.
It's also not underpowered. You silly westerners with your "more horse power" mindset.
emotional BoJack Horseman in a pop punk kind of way *except for the Elise.
Mazda must have something against Lotus. Just for fun here's the race data for this challenge.
Car (roof up time) (race time) (difference)
Mazda 12.0 26.7 14.7
Porsche 17.1 28.9 11.8
Corvette 20.2 32.5 12.3
Mustang 19.0 33.1 14.1
Lamborghini 25.1 36.6 11.5
Lotus DNQ DNQ DNQ
louts is pretty much doing the same thing as mazda you can call it its rival in some sense when it comes to a base elise there pretty much simple lightweight front engine rear wheel drive roadster the lotus goes abit more extreme in the diet sacrificing most of its usability as a road car while the mx5 while not as extreme have just enough comfort and rawness to entertain
Patthon Sirilim Yes I agree there. If the MX-5 stripped it self down it would weigh about the same 1900 pounds and performance would be equivalent to a Lotus. Especially the 2019 MX-5. Sadly, Mazda obviously doesn’t see a market for this. Honestly a stripped down Miata would only cost about $20K new. I think at that price it would sell like crazy with enthusiasts.
The Elise is in a completely different league than the MX-5 really, even the base one. The Elise has a super light and rigid aluminium chassis and uses downforce even with the stock setup. The way the power ramps up and cornering speeds in the Elise are brutal, you can make passengers throw up from the G forces. You need more than just HP to match it, even most supercars can't match it.
@@BlatentlyFakeName In fairness, the Elise would still be at least a couple of hundred pounds lighter than the Miata both stripped down because of the aluminum chassis. Btw, I own an ND2 RF. ;-)
@@patthonsirilim5739 no idea if that was a typo or misunderstanding but the elise is mid engined. Also i'm sure Mazda is poking fun at Lotus since technically Lotus=Toyota
Jesus people, it's a joke. Awesome Mazda lol
As an old Elise owner, I can vouch for this, esp when you lose that allen key !!!!! xD
Even had a senior bod from Lotus squabbling with me over putting the roof on.
*ITS THE BEST*
*ITS THE BEST*
*ITS #1*

*YOU GET A MIATA BECAUSE YOU WANT THE BEST*
*MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE VICTIMS OF UUUUURGGGH*
On behalf of MX-5 owners out there. Very well done.
hahahaha didn't expect that twist! one more reason to save up for a Miata.
Lol this was funny
😂 The lotus is like that cute little kid that’s been left behind in the playground.
Some strategic thinking group/person within Mazda's marketing group deserves a bonus.
LOOOOL I love this
Anyone wanting "supercar type" performance for $10k-25k, the Mazda Miata can be your ticket. Hear me out before you jump to conclusions or be negative. If your mechanically inclined & can follow instructions all you need is a good set of tools (nothing fancy) floor jacks, & a place to do the work. You can convert the Miata into a v8 brute. Get a first gen (NA) Miata look for one that has a good body, interior & working top you can find them from $2k-5k all day. Then get you a GM LS1, LS6 orLS2 motor (or Ford small block if that's your thing) they used these in Corvettes & many other cars, HP ranged from 345-400+. Depending what you want, you can pickup a good one from a bone yard or buy a new crate motor with a warranty from any where between $3,500-9k+ again depending what you want, a new LS2 at 400hp & 400 ft torque will be enough for 95% of people. There are several company's that have v8 conversion kit with "almost" every thing you need for around $4k. Most people swap out the transmission to some thing like a Tremec Magnum T56 6-Speed around $2500.00. You'll also need to replace the rearend to a Ford 8.8 & upgrade the axles & a new driveshaft $1k-2k+. Your around 17k less if you have the car to start with, say $20k to be safe. You'll be on the lower end of the conversion,but you'll have a real fun & cool car that will smoke most other cars, plus you built it.
yes.. the LS1 and LS2 are very common in junck yards.. those motors are used a lot in Muscle car builds.. If you can squeeze it in a Miata that would be one fast car!
Robbie Rob junk*
Robbie Rob There is no problem fitting a LS motor into a Miata. There are several companies making conversion kits & even sell turn key cars. Look it up on RUclips there are a bunch of videos of it. You would think it would be nose heavy but actually when it's all done you end up around 45/55 weight balance. You could be sitting at a red light & some kid pulls up with his neon light Civic revving his motor, the light turn green & you smoke him, ultimate sleeper.
While thinking about the video in the Mazda center:
-What can we put to make the mx-5 look fast?
-Uhh.... Rooftop?
-How can it get faster with roof top?
-Drag race where it is raining and cars have to get the rooftop up to start
-Ohh
-Yeee
Because that I love the MAZDA !!! Well done MAZDA like everytime.
Why no S2000 or BMW Z4?
they were comparing new cars. s2k are old and i guess bmw didn't want to look dumb...
bp808 the new z4 have a hard top electric roof its gonna be probably the slowest to close
the miata is an electric hardtop too
because they cant handle Vtac ( I had to make the joke even though i drive honda and love it)
Z3 then instead of the Z4
Out of them Id still rather own the Lotus :3
Morrell 74Y but it's such a shame on how the S2000 didn't show up in this vids.
They were only comparing modern convertibles in this. The S2000 is a 90s car
Anyways how'd you find this comment of mine? XD
Morrell 74Y ikr,
also a fact for you: i am a type of guy who likes to scroll down to the comment sections randomly.
XD
imo this is one of the greatest advertisements EVER, it comes to show that owning a miata is nothing but pure fun!
The Lotus has a manual roof...hard to put on.
S2000 roof is faster ;)
And soft top mx-5 is faster than Honda :D
@@petrsulc1168 👌👌👌
Loved it!
man i was blazing up while waiting this
How long did it take Captain Slow over there lol
Aaaaaaannnnnnd the Lotus gets no love :D
mazda out here trollin people with a pretty good everyday life applicable scenario
MAZDA, you rock. Love it.
Funny, but when i was young i wanted a Lotus. LOL
The fact of the matter is if that'd been a monster Mazda Miata with the 5 liter engine or 20b roarty twin turbo Cosmo engine then it would definitely smoke those cars
Head starts don't count
Congratulations! mazda :D
That race was over the second the Miata left the starting line, haha. And for what it's worth, my ND does it in less than five seconds even with a rolling start. 😆
wtf mazda throwing shade at the lotus
Seriously, same team.
1:02 The mustang and the Porsche looked like they were ready when the mx5 took off. Poor editing skills.
roof may be down, but there are still clamps for the driver to operate after its closed.
cause you never owned one, windows gotta come all the way up before you can go. and your ebreak must be fully up for the top to even engaged to move. of course you never own one so i don't expect you to know.
Josh Cmp The Mustang was still deactivating pedestrian attack mode.
Edit: old overused joke, my apologies
Xalataf lmao
Xalataf 😂
Volvo C70, roof up: 30 seconds. Damnit... I need to get me one of these!
Rofl, most epic 1/4 mile race I've ever seen!
Notice how the S2000 is missing from this race. Yes, no longer in production, but still holds the world's record for the fastest convertible at 7 seconds flat. And it still hauls ass and gets 30 mpg and makes any Miata driver green with envy
gingernator1 yes but the most important question you're forgetting is: does the s2k smile lovingly at you like the miata does?
Joochan It doesn't need to. The miata looks as soft as its roof. At least the rf looks a bit more harsh.
PaneledPear6555 here we have exhibit A of the typical male with insecure masculinity who believes that cars should look "harsh" to be "cool". It is believed that the males exhibiting this behavior also show contempt for the miata as they believe that people will find out about their small peepee if they accept the fact that the miata is in fact a wonderful car.
Joochan I know it's a great car, but I just think it needed to look a bit better, the rear being the biggest offender to its design. Sure, soft can look good, but some miata models simply look like mice. The newest one changed that, of course, as even Mazda realized they need to change the design language.
Clinton Li lol I was just picking fun and being mean didn't really mean it
Mazda was not invited for a reason, because it would beat everyone.
👌👌🔥🔥🔥
THAT IS SO AWESOME!!!
Cool ad, but I want that Elise the most.
well if you are actually looking for speed heres the times:
(Subtracting the finish time from the roof time)
1st: Lambo (11.5 sec)
2nd: Porsche (11.8 sec)
3rd: Corvette (12.3 sec)
4th: Mustang (14.1 sec)
5th: Mazda (14.7 sec)
^DEAD LAST^
Good commercial though, very handy to have a fast roof LOL
mazda is so funny good joke
That's why I have a Lotus In So Cal. The only time it rains is from a water truck... I simply avoid water trucks when I'm out with the top down. :D
very clever and great fun
This was an awesome and extremely creative race, but so true!
Let's see who wins when the Toyota FT-1 comes out...
A. If it's even produced. B. Didn't know they were going to be a convertible.
I'm not talking about the speed of the convertible top! Who gives a crap about how fast that goes?!
Michael Rueckert
LOL then you are missing the concept of this video. No one claims a miata to be fast... unless you are a high schooler without a license.
Michael Rueckert
And if you want to talk about the FT-1 and its current state, It has no motor yet... so the miata would win.
I know the concept of this video. It's stupid. No one wants a fast looking car that drops the top fast. That's the best they can do?
Who cares how fast the roof goes up BIG DEAL
yea only fucktards care. Its about the fastest convertible not the fucking roof fucking idiots.
Ramon Teuling actually it does, when you're at a stop light and it rains or the sun comes up, having one that can do it quick really helps, if you're living in a raining state. Mn happens to be one of them.....
But why a drag race like this, the mazda would not win againt the others in a real drag race
Potato ˙ trust me i own a z4 e89 you really do care when suddenly it rains
Little late comment lol
こういう動画は個人的に好き。
Ever since I got the Mazda with a fast roof, I have been scoring more chicks than my friend who has a Lambo. Thank you, Mazda! You changed my life!
666 dis likes...
ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED !!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was really stupid. Even as a joke.
omg that was awesome and funny i love mazda!
MAZDA cultivates not only speed but other function!!
Yeah, I live in Pittsburgh, the northern rain forest. Roof up quick would come in handy here.
This is hilarious, I love mazda more now. lol
Well played, Mazda!
They didn’t include a Honda S2000 or NSX Targa top because they knew they’d beat the mazda
Muy buen video 🤙🏻😎😂😂
This is one of the best commercials I’ve ever seen lolol
Does anyone know the name of the very first soundtrack, or music. I've been looking for that track for years. Great symphony music.
LMAO! That was cleverly done commercial.
Hahaha, this is hilarious! Nice work Mazda!
Clever video.
Thanks, Captain. you must be fun at parties.
Ooooohhhhh.....I see....for a moment I did fall for that. Good one
this is awesome beyond belief! haha
Time to make the 2018 version, Mazda.
Best commercial ever
What we learned today folks is that mazda has a amazing roof up speed and nothing else. I think im pretty sold going to get the miata cause of its 12 second roof up time....1/4 mile doesnt mean anything anymore
If you own, or want to own, a convertible sports car, then ease of use on the operation of the top is essential. I have an '06 MX-5 ragtop and the ease of use make it a joy to operate. If it is above 45-50 degrees F and not raining hard, my top is always down. If it took 20+ seconds to operate, It would be an annoyance to me. If it starts to rain, I can slow to 40-45 and put the top up in about 3 seconds. To put it back down, I just slow to about 20-25 and put it down again in literally 1.5 seconds. Just unlatch it with 1 hand and throw it back.
Before I boought my MX-5 I test drove a Saturn Sky Redline (260hp turbo). That was a nice car, fast, fun (tho not quite as much fun as the Mazda) and it oozed sex appeal; What a great looking car IMO. But to operat the top, I had to get out of the car and walk around the back of it. I wasn't a big fan of that at the time but I had nothing to compare it to UNTIL I drove the MX-5. What a dream!
If you've never spent some alone time behind the wheel of a healthy MX-5 on some curvy roads, in all honesty, you aren't qualified to comment on anything other than looks. Driving one is about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on! :-D
That was Awesome
beatiful in 2021
Well recalled. My point was never geared toward creativity though.
And now whith the ls engine installation kit available the car is also just as fast in the speed category also. The miata is a cool lill car. Ive had several
This is a great ad for the other cars
wow well done mazda haha
I agree with the shade thrown on all the other cars except the lotus, they are pure racing cars, an aluminium chassis, crazy stuff. Makes complete sense not to have a fancy and heavy roof system
It should have a miata's softtop then. Opens and closes within less than 3 secs.
Wonderful Car ! vedeo good !
Awesome
this video wins the internet
Good one Mazda. :)
the burnout ending was epic... good luck doing that on your 50k plus car.. cause i know you wouldn't do it. but with a mx5, go for it...
nice twist!!
Hahaha you're amazing!
Mazda had a headstart
So true. I can never understand it when I see someone driving a convertible Porsche or Mercedes with the top up on a beautiful day. It may not seem like it, but having a hardtop that comes up and down quickly makes a huge difference in your driving enjoyment.
Sweet!
Cool. Just COOL. It's a real world.
This was a race, first one to close the top wins!
Da sieht man mal wieder, nicht der Preis sondern die Qaulität ist massgebend! Sehr amüsantes Video, absolut der Wirklichkeit entsprechend......
awesome
Without roof
1st gallardo
2 corvette
3 911
4 mustang
5 lotus
6 mx5
bro stfu you’re not smart
exactly!
I love when Top Gear does a commercial
Too Cool! Proud owner of a 92.
Legend has it the lotus is still getting its top on.
Well played.
