"I bought a stick shift, but now I'm tired of shifting" Yuri " Shuuuut-up!" Great reply!
you're not for manual gearboxes then...
Well, I have an NB miata with a six speed and the same rear end ratio... My complaint is this: First gear is too short, and 2nd gear doesn't quite get you to 60mph. Does it matter? Not a whole lot, but if you are going to compare 0-60 times, having to make a shift into 3rd gear just to make it to 60mph is kinda a bummer. Basically what everyone wishes they had is a standard Miata 5-speed gear ratio but with a taller 6th gear. If I recall the recipe for getting that is a 6 speed with a 3.3 gearset. I plan on doing something similar to that when I upgrade to the BMW 6 speed from kMiata.
@@slandon1977 I also have an NB and I could not care less that 2nd tops out at 55. You aren't going to impress ANYONE with a Miata's 0-60 even if 2nd was tall enough. It's far better to have it pull as hard as it can rather than unoptimized gearing for 0-60 time
You need to own both! Auto and manual! But I find myself driving manual more often though haha
All I can say is
"Zoom Zoom Zoooooom!!!" 🤠
This is one of the best Miatas: body kit, turbo, 6-speed and AM/FM 6-CD player.
I have a 2001 LS with all that.
@@mgarcia2445 not from factory. That's what make the msm so special
zZKEEPWICKEDZz the only thing this Mx-5 comes with that car such as the Pontiac GTO didn’t have is the turbo. The Miata is special, but not that special bud.
@@ctcdarkness are you really comparing a miata and a gto?
Mazda is such a good car company that deserves more respect, even for their regular cars like the 3 and 6 series.
finally someone says it! i bought my first 3 after driving my dad's and im not going to switch brands any time soon.
They are highly respected among car enthusiasts, but none of the Japanese brands get as much recognition for sportiness as others
As an owner of a Mazda 2 (Demio, 2008 Fiesta) and also have driven an 2000 MPV and a 2018 Mazda 3. All I can say it's that they're really good cars, the only thing is: That is horrible to do repairs on the V6 MPV. That thing is so
crammed inside that you have to dismantle the entire thing just to change spark plugs.
I totally agree! We have Mazda 3 here in Philippines, a 2015 model and it still runs like new. The fit and finish is tight, the interior is beautiful, and they even offer it with free 3yrs of PMS! Great value for money! The only thing i dont want is that there is no manual option for mazda models here in ph except for the manual mx5. But the handling and driving experience is great!
I agree! Mazdaspeed 3 owner here and I love it!!!
wow, that silky transition from the fiat to the mazda was really impressive editing.
Mom Sheriff doesn’t change the fact if it’s impressive
Keep it up with the classic cars!
Wish list for you guys:
Toyota MR2
Subaru Impreza 22B
Saab 9000
BMW E46 M3
Finally, the truth has been revealed: "If you get a Miata without an LSD, you're psycho."
I have a NB with no diff and it does try to kill you, but that's part of the fun.
I ordered a 2019 Sport--no limited slip diff. Didn't want to pay $4,000 more for that and a couple features I didn't care about.
DmcxDmc fun? You meant boring lol having no LSD on a rwd car is Kinda of dumb.. no burnouts, drifting/sliding etc at least any good ones that’s is
Ryan missing out LSD makes or breaks a car honestly
Oh i thought it was acid lmfao
OOOOOOHHHH MYY GOOOSH! I literally just entered the Miata world with the same car a week ago!! I love this caar! It's my first manual transmission car. I've been waiting for one of my favorite car reviewers to review it! I'm so glad you guys did it!
I love this channel for a simple reason. They love Mazda and Porsche.
Mazda and Porsche are the cousins from two different countries. Both are obsessed with making driver-oriented cars
Which generation of Miata is your favourite and why?

This comment was a week ago, but the video was only uploaded today?

I love my NB for sure, but I wouldnt mind a NC or ND, especially with the cupholders being basically small storage bins rather than being usable for cups.
Do a polestar V60 or S60
I am the loving owner of a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata; steel gray model. It's a magnificent roadster.
In the 3 yrs I've owned this car I've put over 70k miles including two extended road trips around Lake Champlain, up to Montreal, through the Adirondacks, over to Niagara Falls, and even did a few (controlled) laps at Watkins Glen. And many 100-200 mile day trips. It goes in the barn in Winter before the salt goes on the roads, and emerges in the Spring ready to zoom.
This car just wants to go. All it asks for is 93 octane gas, and Mobil 1 5w-30 every 5k miles.
I had to get rid of the 17" wheels. I couldn't avoid all the potholes.
I put on 15 x 7.5 Advanti wheels and shod them with Dunlop Direzza DZ 102 tires , 205-50-15R.
I also upgraded to a bigger, aluminum radiator, and very soon a nice, somewhat operetic, stainless steel muffler/tail pipe will be arriving FedEx.
I will drive this car until it dies or I do, and as it looks now, it will out-live me.
Thanks guys for the review. I have owned all four generations of miatas. Have 3 nb cars now including a pristine 04 mazdaspeed. Love them.
Personally, I like both the exterior and interior on the NB much better than the NA (we won't even mention the NC here). I like the ND too, but not $40K worth. I finally found a perfect 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata (with the grand touring package), and Jakub is absolutely right - it's pretty much the perfect Miata - totally worth double what I paid for my 2001 Miata LS a few years ago.
Hydraulic steering and no infotainment system...gotta love that!!
Not many people know this, but early NAs offered steering with no power assistance. I drove one and wish I had it in my ND.
The ND's electric steering is very good,ntjough. it's heavily assisted when going slow, and numb, but when you're motoring in the twisties it keeps you informed of the slip angles of the front wheels (and NOT about the pot holes), helping you to achieve a glorious four-wheer drift, as did the F1 cars in the early 1960s.
They need a whole new series of Mazdaspeed cars. i hate that they abandoned them, my Mazdaspeed 3 was a beast. Took me spending over $8 grand on my WRX to get it to the same 1/4 mile time my MPS3 had with just a downpipe, up pipe, intake, exhaust and flash tune. And my Mazda speed 3 had like 100 LESS HP, it's power band was just so big and acceleration so smooth.
A Mazdaspeed 6 on their current chassis, stiffer suspension, stickier tires and 350HP would be SO beast. And with the new MX-5 being an absolute CHAMP around corners, making a 200-250hp MPS variation would be SUCH an amazing sportscar. What are you DOING Mazda, you had the most underrated performance cars and you threw it all away
Whisky, Weed and whips Watson the reason was that the Mazdaspeed cars weren't profitable and Mazda can't afford to offer things they don't profit from.
agreed my dude... im still holding out for a new Mazdaspeed 3
It's not gonna happen sadly, Mazda executives have stated it outright in interviews :(
I wish, really, such great cars
It was a pleasure to watch! If you liked this car, you should get your hands on a Mazdaspeed 6 (Mazda 6 MPS).
You get the hydraulic steering, the amazing gearbox with a perfect shifting feel. The turbo lag is just as fun as in this car. I am so in love with fast Mazdas. They really know how to make fun cars.
Oh and the LSD comes with the 6 MPS too! ;)
One of my co-worker has one, and it is even more beautiful in person. He got lucky cause he bought his from an "old lady" who never rev it pass 4K RPM and only at 28K miles on it.
More old cars! More new cars! Honestly, I’d watch you guys reviewing anything. Love the banter.
I found out about you guys watching motoring tv one day and searched 'yuri and jakub' on Google when you had like 30k. You guys are growing to become the best review channel on RUclips!
Haha right on, thanks!
Just picked up a 2005. Only 53 were shipped in 2005 to Canada. Absolute best car I’ve ever driven
Just letting you know that there was another turbo MX5. Several years before the 'mazdaspeed' MX5 was released, Mazda Australia commissioned Prodrive to turbocharge 100 NB MX5s. The Mazda MX5 SP (what Mazda Aus called it) had 157kw (210hp) and 289nm (213ftlb) of torque. There is conjecture on whether this prompted Mazda Japan to turbocharge the NB and release the Mazda MX5 SE (as it was called outside North America).
Correct. Maybe one day we'll review Australian cars and talk about them
I came to this video and I hoped I would find this comment. Thank you from Australia.
The "Midnight Blue" from the 2003-2008 Mazda's was really beautiful as well. The metallic gleam was beautiful in the sun.
Your channel has the best opening of any channel. The music, the line and then your in it. No time wasted.
Please do the much less loved RX8 next! I'd love to hear what you guys think of it after driven the Rx7 and Mx5
Have a 2005 MX 5 Speed! Bought it for my wife. We garage it every winter in Minnesota and I'm 6'2" with a bad back. Driving is ok, riding is terrible but we LOVE the car! Got the Lava Orange which several people have commented on. "What color is THAT"? Keeping ours forever. We are 66 years old now and driving it around Lake Minnetonka in MN is wonderful on a summer evening...or a ride in the country on the twisty back roads! Down the Mississippi Great River Road is THE BEST EVER!!! Huge fan!
NB>NA, NB>NC & NB>ND. There was also an Aussie turbo NB that had 200hp called the SP that was super rare & even more so now as half have been written off in road rallys. They also over heated & were the same as stock in every other aspect. now worth $20-35000.
Guys I love this channel! I click each video expecting to only watch a couple minutes and end up staying the whole video
More used car reviews! Loving em! Could you guys try to get your hand on an Mk5 R32?
Would love to drive one of those
That’s a great car
Ok guys, now listen to that: the cliche corner in THIS video from THIS POINT OF VIEW from the rear and from THIS DISTANCE is SOOOO MUCH BETTER and MUCH MORE informative(!!) then any other cliche corner from inside of the car or from the front!!! Trust me! Totally different feeling!
Been driving my 04 titanium for 7 years since college and I still love the car. Just changed all the seals at 130000 miles.
Darn, I am just getting my new 2003 NB Miata set up. Nothing racy, just new brakes, a bit of clear coat repair, and new mats, etc. Now, you make me want to check out a MazdaSpeed turbo.
The internet doesn't hate the NB, that's the shithouse NC.
One online comparison that looked at all 4 generations at once picked the NC over all of them. I found that review fascinating and it kind of made sense.
NB is best, NC is a bar of soap
Hey guys, picked up a 92' base NA 2 years ago for $5K, low mileage (105K) no winters and well maintained...and it is red!. Most fun for your money that I could get. Plus dirt cheap to insure as a vintage car ($132 per year in QC...) You really cannot beat the smile vs money ratio of this car, makes it hard to justify trading for an ND...Richard D
I just got one of these a year ago. I get crap from a lot of friends that don't know cars, even those that do. When they sit in it though, they can't believe it's a miata cause it genuinely moves. Of course it's modified with Megasquirt ECU, similar to Big Enchilada that Flyin Miata sold
I own a 2005 MX-5 LS leather and 6 speed and love it. I added a tuned dual exhaust which aspirates the drive train. I also love the look and stance of the 2019 mx-5 with 2.0 liter with performance bump
Nice video! As an owner of a 2001 6-speed Miata for 6 years, it hurts to hear how much better the newest one is :'(. I'm not sure if THAT many people hate the second gen, but the Mazdaspeed Miata specifically isn't really fondly remembered to Miata people. Horrible turbo lag, meh horsepower and torque improvement, and not much faster. Plus they didn't use the then- new VVT engine with the turbo for some reason in this car. In Japan, the VVT engine had better flowing intake and exhaust manifolds that made 160ps/158hp. I personally prefer the n/a engine of this generation over the Mazdaspeed Miata. In fairness, good aftermarket turbo kits have very little lag. Stuff like roll bars and strurt tower bars make a huge difference in stiffness too. I recently moved deep into Houston and have never had more fun driving my car. Driving it in the city helps you understand how small Japanese sports cars are meant to be driven.
I'm _from the internet_ and I approve of this year Mazdaspeed Miata. Thumb's up. Oh, and Yuri definitely looks more Euro with his haircut. :-) Yeah, that was me on your live show yesterday.
They're right about the paint. Mazda does amazing paint in general, especially reds and silvery greys.
Miata Mavericks ... you gents were first to post ND2 vid, now this most excellent classic ... you're killing it.
ScottE5 this is a classic?????? What do you call a 65 Camaro?
I bought a 02 nb (not MSM) with 12k miles on it and the first thing I fixed were the cupholders. The spring mount on those break really easy, but it is a very easy $2 (or free in my case) fix. That will make the cupholders not so terrible :)
perfect timing, looking to buy a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata and 2 days later yall deliver this gem for me. Many thanks
There's a supercharged NB Miata for sale near me on Autotrader... so much want.
Great ending, Jakub doesn't even let Yuri review the stereo! Awesome video
I do agree with Jakub, this is the best Miata, lookswise and it has more power too. Loved the banter in this one. Used cars do not have that many buttons to press, so you have time to talk more about your impressions and playfully hate on each other - very fun to see. Shots in this one are magical again, captured the paint beautifully and excellent sound as well.
Thanks for posting this. The MSM has been my daily for over 10 years now - it's the perfect Bay Area commuter car.
U guys should definitely review a Mazdaspeed 3 ! I’ve been debating buying one
I'm swooning, two days in a week of Mazdas. I love this car, looked up used and found one for just under $9700 under 40k miles. 160 miles from me. Then there is the big neck wrenching stop, the Mrs. has to buy a new car first before I jump. Love the older car reviews, keep it up if you can.
Just get an mx5 and put a turbo on it its way cheaper than 9k and its basically plug and play.
Perfect timing! I learnt that this mazdaspeed existed yesterday and you posted today! I should get on Patreon though because I would want my box in a box test haha. Btw cliche corner is right by my house
HONDA RULES Where is your house?
We gave you the coordinates to his house in the RDX video
@@jasdil8806 I wouldn't like to reveal the location of cliche corner myself, or tell you where exactly I live. It's not too hard to figure out where it is though, I would tell you but then I would be betraying the straightpipers code
TheStraightPipes drone strike is on the way.
Had a 2004 grey Mazdaspeed. One of the best cars I owned. I put more miles on it than my new Z06. It was fun as hell, the shift quality and interior were twice as good as my Z06. Not super fast. But a great driving car for half the price of a Corvette.. it was totaled in an accident, I cried when I got home. Mazda makes really good cars. Wish Mazda would bring back the Mazdaspeed Miata. I would definitely buy another one
I just bought a MSM 4 days ago, I notice the negatives you mention but it's really not that hard to fix. First thing you do is ditch the stock ECU, once you have a better tune you can really open it up. From there the sky is the limit.
You guys should review an NC, it has aged surprisingly well, it does the same power as the turbo NB but with no turbo, 6 speed manual, and its really practical for hot/cold weather with the retractable hard top! Plus they’re bargains nowdays in the used car market I think is the best compromise and still under 2,500lbs!
I just got my 2004 with 38K....amazingly clean. Love the MSM!
How much?
I really enjoy these reviews of older, but still great, cars. And, being in the US, I smiled at the back and forth of the "Maazda" and "Mahzda" pronunciations. (I almost bought a 2015 Mazda but opted for the now-discontinued but much loved Mini Roadster.)
Stick with "Mahzda" . It's the go-to pronunciation.
Great video and I love the MSM too... I have four Miata's total right now, 2 MSMs; a 2005 Lava Orange w/ 38k miles, and a 2004 Velocity Red w/43k miles. I bought the VR first, but wanted the LO more, and eventually found one, so now the VR must be sold. :(
2 guys in a Miata:
*now this is perfect*
xD
Love the vids guys, great quality as always haha!
Maybe they don't realize this is a "chick car." 😉
you should know,people watch you,not for the specific cars you drive,but for your personalities and chemistry ,just like mighty car mods .
it doesn't always really matter what you guys drive.
older cars are super funny too.(omg the 90s cars are vintage ,i'll go cry for a bit now)
I just love all sports cars from Mazda.
This is my favorite miata ever, so thanks so much for making a vid on it!
Loving this old Mazda content, you guys!
Mazda does nail their red colours, I love my red 2!
7:10 as a miata owner... just wanna note that the gas thing doesnt matter since its upwards and u can reach from both sides... just a perk for us miata owners at the gas station.. dont have to wait or go in reverse... just pull the hose over.
i like how the cup holder accommodates for a handle. drive in the winter with the top down and enjoy a warm mug of hot chocolate
Another fantastic old Mazda review!!! This and the RX-7!! Brilliant! Honda S2000 next??
It's not aggressive or sexy but there's something about the NB that is very pleasing to my eye, I think it's one of the best looking vehicles, period
I had a 2005 black Mazdaspeed Miata and it was the funnest car I've ever owned! And I've had some decently high hp cars.
Turbo lag is the time between hitting the pedal and boost kicking in. What you are referring to is high turbo threshold (the turbo hits peak boost at high RPMs).
Hey guys I'm really digging the older car reviews! I loved the RX7 review! I think you should continue to do them. Can we get a turbo Supra & the last gen Prelude review??
DO NOT STOP MAKING MIATA VIDEOS, I NEVER GOT OVER MY EX GIRLFRIEND
I don't know how I didn't know about this channel until now. Great reviews! Keep up the good work!
I bought my 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata a couple years ago with only 20K miles on it for 8K....a steal. It now has just over 30k miles. All original.
The cupholder has a broken spring. My broke the same way. When working, it does a much better job keeping the lid closed.
How about more used car reviews? I'd like to see you get your hands on the Toyota MR2 in various gens. I had an '85 that I bought new in Germany when I was in the military and it was one of the most fun cars I've ever had.
I LOVE THIS CAR
Quick! Someone send me 10K! After this review I suddenly need this car! And I also have an urge to be blasphemous and install an Android infotainment just so Yuri can review it.
Great vid guys, I also love these classic/used reviews even if they don’t bring in as many views.
Why does this review say it was posted 2 weeks ago? The video was only posted today
One of their Patreon perks gets you early access to their vids as they finish editing them. The guys worked really hard this summer to film and edit a lot of their reviews so they could take two-ish week’s off, so we got about 4-6 videos released really early throughout the last two months!

NB miatas are best looking miatas. Fight me in the comments.
Sorry, no argument from me on that one, and I just bought an ND. I love the NB.
Um have u seen NA lol
Yes, everyone likes pop-up headlights including me but NA is bulbous and it's pop-ups are too big for the rest of the car. It's not really good looking. NB is way sharper but still very smooth lines.
Another challenger please!
I will not argue with you!! I own an NB and its better looking than NA
Baby vipers! I'm with you there and I own an NA. NA is more quirky, but I've always been a sucker, specifically for the mazdaspeed
Thanks a lot guys. You posted it, I appreciate it.
To add: There are cosmetically and mechanically 4 generations of NB:
NB1 (no bottom fogs, round eye line, yellow turn/hazard lights), NB1.5 (exact same as nb1 except has fogs here but the bezels are rounded to match)
NB2 (foglights with sharper bezels, sharper eye lines, taillights are a white ish pinkish red mix), and
MAZDASPEED (basically an NB2 with more aggressive lip plus rear diffuser)
LOL, Yuri is so cute when he does that shifting whine. Also, I'm sure he is a decent driver. Maybe not Jakub's level but I'm sure more than adequate.
Ya I’m just fine. Probably better than jakub because im more cautious
0:10 Oh, that rear is such a beauty. 😍
This is the best miata I have ever seen if imma be honest.
Thumbs up for reviewing old cars as well! You should review a 1995 Honda Civic LX sedan next.. because that was my very first car.
Love that your mixing in some used car reviews!
I know i am late, but the cupholder issue is due to a broken spring retainer clip, i have fixed a few before, takes 1 hole and metal wire and it will be fixed and staying shut unless you want to open it.
First car was 2010 mazda 3 hatch, now I have the speed3 2010, mazda is life. Absolutely the best car brand
While technically correct that it’s the only turbo miata, it is not however the only turbo mx5. Mazda Australia made a turbo NB called a “SP” and was significantly more powerful than the “SE” and it came out before the “SE”. Only 100 were made. And the SP is what influenced the SE
Pls do more and more used car reviews. You guys rock 🤘
Gaurav Kumar the reviews are awesome
I still wish for a comeback of the Mazdaspeed line. I would love to have a Mazdaspeed 2 and a Mazdaspeed ND.
You guys are my favorite car reviewers. Keep up the good work!
Yep the Mazda painter NAILS red ! Excellent job to that person !
Mazda Canada opened the vault!
The world needs you guys to drive NA and NC Miatas to complete the set
These guys do a miata every week
I'm not complaining though
I bought the 04 in silver.. loved it! Wish i still had it
I have a NB Miata but it's the normal one without the turbo. I drove every generation though and I may seem biased but I prefer the NB. Oh..and it has been my only car for the last 4 years.
You guys should really have a Miata in your outro video, since you like them so much.
You should remove the key fob anyway to reduce wear on the ignition tumblers.
I like the used car reviews. Keep up the good work guys!
Damn ! you guys keep uploading videos every two days or so ! And all of them have the same energy as if its the first video. 1:21 :D
I'm going to have to disagree with the gas gauge test...I think the point of the gas gauge icon with the hose on the right is so that you pull into a fueling station that matches the icon. The hose stretches from left to right so it can connect to the left side of the car. Love the videos! New subscriber :)
The hose on the fuel symbol is showing what side the hose on the pump has to be on the gas station so your gas cap is right next to it. :)
Doesn't always work
Almost never hahaha, but that's what i told myself and hey it works, at least in NB miatas lol.
Whenever I started a game on Gran turismo, I always started by buying a miata
