    I've had my 2000 Miata for exactly 19 years. It's a daily driver and I assure you, it never gets old or monotonous. Due to the gearing, it's loud and high strung on interstate trips, but you take the bad with the good because of how fun it is. It's also surprisingly practical, something you wouldn't think unless you owned one. Even after two decades, this car flicks like a booger from a 5 year old's finger, and begs to be flogged hard like a masochist.

    Doug, I love watching all of your videos. I thought that I would give you a couple thoughts on the Miata. My wife and I bought a 93 Miata new in March of 93 for $16,400. It was the first time that we could afford a third car, and we've been having fun with it ever since. The Miata came in an A, B, and C package. We got the B package, which included power mirrors, but not power windows. We still have the business card of the salesman that sold it to us (he was a great guy....never had to see the manager). Our seats are a great cloth that has held up really well since new. I agree with so many of your comments, but I have a different take on a few.
    The car has 116 horsepower, and while its not fast, it was really not slow for the day and the price range. The car is a traditional sports car, where lots of people can drive it at its limit...and thats really what makes it fun. You have to remember that the tires are really narrow on the car, so it isn't hard to break loose. The stance of the car is low, and my 18 year old son comments that the car is also cut low. It doesn't have high doors or framing for side impact protection, and that gives you an amazing connection to everything around you...much like the generation of british sports cars before it.
    A few comments on the quirks and features. The Miata came with an ashtray in the middle, but Mazda sold different accessories to substitute for the ashtray. Mine actually had a dual cupholder substitute in a box in the trunk. The fuel filler release and the trunk release are in the center console because of theft. You have to think about the fact that in this cars era we weren't too far past when people would steal gas out of your car, so it was desirable that way. The headlights go up in the fixed position because they were trying to emulate the Austin Healy Bugeye Sprite, from which a few design cues on this car are from. The dual sunvisor is a practical method to get sunvisors to fit. The compression on my car is the same as it was when I bought it new, which is hard to believe (we drive the car a lot every summer). I haven't had to replace the clutch because the engine doesn't generate enough power to wear it out. The other fun fact is that for those of us that do these things ourselves, none of the work on this car is hard.
    Thank you for your videos. I hope that you have as much fun making them as I do watching them.

They are a real cool 1 finger operation, so unique at the time. All chrome and everything. It was my favourite quirk of the car. The later models put a standard 'lift open' operation like all other cars. The door handles on this model were unique, bespoke and a thing of beautiful engineering...

      After coming home from a year long Army deployment overseas in 2006 I decided it was my time to buy a brand new car. I looked at a 2006 Mustang and Corvette convertible. Both were nice, and quite frankly I was extremely disappointed in the Corvette. As a kid I always wanted one but it didn't live up to what I expected from a $50K car.
      I test drove the 2006 MX5 and fell in love. It only had 170 HP vs the corvette's 400 and the Mustang GT's 300, but it drove better than both of the others. Needless to say I bought it.

      Ive always heard good things about these cars,reliability and fun factor
      As a owner of a convertible and a previous owner of 2 other convertibles (not Miata's but the same applies) all i can tell anyone that wants to buy one, Miata or not, is this ....DON'T EVER buy a convertible if you dont have a place to put it... EVER, always remember this,a window is around 120 dollars installed,a convertible top? about 400 dollars just for the top,another 900 dollars to install it (most Convertibles)
      So......., if you live in a apartment and or you dont have a cool place to park your ride,dont buy one, do your self that favor and wait for a better time in your life when you have a nice place of your own,just some friendly advice because anytime you piss someone off (mailman,exgirlfriend, old use to be buddy,the local nutcase) that little top and a razor blade will have a meeting and you wont like it AT ALL, i should say your wallet wont like it, ha ha ha, if you can find a convertible with a hardtop thats the way to go but these tend to be very expensive. Convertibles are fun as hell but remember the things that come with owning one.

    I drive an NA quite a lot and enjoy the hell out of it every time.
    I recently sold my mk7 GTi (fantastic car), and now daily an NC Miata with the power hardtop. The Miata can be plenty practical depending on your lifestyle and no matter what speed you're going, it is always fun. I think that's the biggest difference between the BRZ and the Miata. The BRZ is fun if you can cane the hell out of it, but it's just eh if you have to do normal in town driving. The Miata it doesn't matter how fast you are or aren't going, it's still fun, and THEN you can put the top down too. 👍
    You know, I really didn't mess with Doug Demuro much at all.....but I clicked on the video anyway, and now that I've seen his face driving a Miata and looking genuinely happy (and at a loss for words for a second or two)...that dudes alright, he knows how to have fun, and he's a real person lol.

    The "sunglass holder" was removable and swappable with an ashtray, and a cup holder, I have the ashtray and the cupholder, and the jit to convert the ashtray into a nicer cup holder (the cup holder is useless unless you are in an automatic or highway cruising because the cup or bottle is in the way when shifting). In the trunk your example car is missing the blue rod that is the jack handle. That sound system is an upgrade, and that bass booster was not in the A,B, or C package Miatas. As an FYI the C package miatas did have power windows, power locks, and Cruse control, B packages had Air Conditioning, power mirrors and Power steering, A packages were stripped t the bone and had power nothing, The CD player was a dealer installed option on the A,B, and C cars, the special edition cars came with everything plus ABS, special colors, and included the top and a power antenna. I daily drove my 1993 Miata back in 2003 to 2004 through two New England winters, a set of snow tires made it a beast in the snow. I now use it as a weekend and lousy work day commuter (if work is going to suck the ride shouldn't). My 1993 has 175,000 miles on it and it needs wheel bearings but other than that it has been far from a money pit.

    I got the MX5 from the 2000 model year as my first own car and drove for 13 years in summer and winter. It never ever let me down except for a failed battery because of a harsh winter and parking it outside and not in the garage for a couple of nights. But besides that, it had all the original parts on it when I sold it in 2013. Still today, when I see a black MX5 on the road, I remember all the fun I had in it. The amazing engine, the easy to use roof, the perfect stick shift with its small shifter, the light back which was a hell lot of fun in the winter… So much good memories…

      @brian5o 6 лет назад +9

      Spencer 7445, the MX-5 is about balance, not speed and if only speed is important to you then yes, the MX-5 isn't the right car for you. You'd probably enjoy a Mazdaspeed3 a lot more than the Miata if speed is your thing.
      Also, it is easy to forget that technology in cars has really exploded since the 90s when this car was new and most new cars come from the factory these days with horsepower ratings that you would only find in performance cars back then. In the mid-90's I owned a 1988 Mustang LX 5.0 notchback which was a quick car back then and a good friend of mine owned a 1995 Miata. My Mustang may have been quicker but that did not make the Miata boring to drive. The Miata was great for what it was- literally a street-legal go-kart that you could have some fun in without getting yourself into too much trouble. I will also say that the Miata never felt slow by any means. It felt quick enough, at least for me, the shifter was a joy to operate- perhaps one of the best shifters and transmissions that I have ever had the pleasure to operate and the exhaust note really suited the car and was a joy to listen to.
      There have been 3 generations of Miata since the NA however I think that the NA will always be my favorite although the current ND is a Miata that I like almost as much as the original.

    I've had a '90 for two years. Doug is absolutely correct. At 5/7", I fit really well. The only thing that hurts is my left elbow... the armrest is so friggin' hard. It hates hills but it really does corner like it's on rails. It's a Lotus Elan/Triumph/MG that runs and runs. Feels like it's made of paper, but is super durable and easy to fix. And, it's got air conditioning....
