  • Experience the wind in your hair and the sun on your face with the 2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club ND2. In today's review, we take a first look at the latest iteration of Mazda's iconic sports car, which has been upgraded for even more driving excitement. This vehicle features a sleek, aerodynamic design with a new front grille and LED headlights, as well as updated suspension and steering for even better handling and performance. Under the hood, you'll find a 2.0-liter SKYACTIV-G engine that delivers 181 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque, making it a blast to drive on the open road. Inside, the MX-5 Miata Club ND2 offers a driver-focused cockpit with sporty bucket seats courtesy of the Brembo, Recaro, BBS Package, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a 7-inch infotainment display that includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Plus, with the Club trim, additional features such as a limited-slip differential and Bilstein dampers enhance the car's already impressive performance. Aside from an ISR Axleback Exhaust System, this Miata is completely stock. Check out the video for a closer look at this vehicle and see for yourself why the MX-5 Miata has been a fan favorite for over 30 years!

    I have owned two Camaros, starting in 1969, two Firebirds, a Fiero, that I bought for my wife, and, two Mustangs. including my 2003 Mach 1 that I still drive just for kicks. Also, I have a KIA Sportage Turbo that is surprisingly a driver's treat. However, once I bought my 2022 Mazda MX-5, Miata RF GT, I realized that now I get to experience the thrill of being in the world's best-selling, if not the best, most fun sports roadster. Its not a practical daily-use vehicle. However, it is a must have sports vehicle for those who want the thrill of driving a brilliant, perfectly balanced, peppy track-ready sports car on city street, country roads and the highways. If you love the thrill of driving, you will love the Miata.

    I think you nailed it. When I was test driving cars, this car just felt the most simple, the most analog, and made me feel the most like I was in a car from the late 90's/early 2000's (in the best way possible). No rev hang, great shifter, no gimmicks, a single button to turn of traction control, light and tossable, and a buttery, free-revving engine--I was sold. An exhaust and some suspension work to tighten it up, and it's as perfect of a canyon car as you can buy these days, especially for the price and how cheap consumables are for it.

    Excellent review. As a young man I owned 2 MGB's, a '64 and a '66. Raced the '64 and drove the '66 daily. The MX-5 takes me back to those days. My 1st MX-5 was the 2016 (automatic) due to my age I thought. Well, I soon got over that shit and bought a 2017 manual and really fell in love with this car. When the '19's came out with the 181 hp, I traded up to that and put about 80k miles on it, then a few weeks ago, traded up to the 2023 GT. I can't stay out of it! By the way, I bought a Racing Beat Power Pulse muffler for the 1st MX-5 and have had the same muffler, now on the 4th MX-5.

      Thanks for watching! I completely agree, these Miatas offer a close experience to what you would get with an old school British roadster.

    Have a 2016 Club soft top with the Brembo / BBS package since the 1st week of March 2017. Daily drive in 4 season weather as my winter tires sit stacked on a dolly in the garage. Its never been a weekend toy for me. Instead it has been thru some of the worst weather I've seen in 50 years of driving being reliable as any car I've owned in the past. The ND1 has better low end torque than the ND2 but loses its power at the top end so you have to shift gears to make it fly. Great car all around - exceeds my expectations. Easy to work on & modify also. Oil changes are a breeze with the right tools. Low cost to maintain & insure !

    The front suspension is aluminum upper and lower A-arms with aluminum upright, the rear is a steel tube five link with an aluminum upright. Great cars, mine has almost 93,000 miles and is driven year round in New Hampshire. I have a set of snow tires on their own rims for that. Mine is a 2016 Sport, the base model, the only modification has been Wilwood brakes front and rear from Flyin'Miata.

      Do the base trims such as yours come equipped with an LSD? If not, do you feel like it’s necessary with the ND generation Miata?

    Love these Malibu canyon roads, that's my favorite playground! Just bought a ND2 Grand Touring last week and can't wait to see how it behaves on Latigo/Stunt/Tuna... I'll hopefully take it next week if it's ready, otherwise i'll take my other super light toy :)

    • @AutoWisdom
      @AutoWisdom  Год назад +3

      The only reason I didn’t mention it is because the 124 has been out of production for a while now. 2020 was the final model year. But I should have brought up the shared platform that they use.

      Some twins are unequal as with these two. I've seen two Fiat types in my area. In talking to the owners at different times of the year, both have had engines problems during the first two years of ownership. I am now on my 4th MX-5 and have put between 45K miles and 80k on those 3. I had 78K miles on the 3rd, of which, I traded for this new one, a 2023 MX-5 GT. I've had it for about 3 weeks now and getting ready to hit 2K miles and can't stay out of it.
