    Okay, that` s enough.
    I`m thinking about buying an MX5 since 7 months - your clip brought me finally to my decission:
    I will go and sign the order tomorrow.
    Thank you.

      J, whether you should go with the GT or the Club depends on your priority. If it's only going to be driven on the street, & you value things like leather & the upgraded headlights, get the GT. If you're going to autocross or track, it's worth considering the Club & potentially the BBS/Brembo package. If you plan to drive in snow, either get the Club or consider adding the LSD to the GT after purchasing. If you need an automatic transmission, don't even consider the Club. The parts it has that the GT doesn't aren't included with the automatic. I'm really not sure why the Club automatic exists.

    "Is this the new Miata?" was exactly what I thought, when I first saw it on the streets. Later a forgot about it and when I saw the new RF I could not resist but test drive it. I agree: People look at it a lot and sometimes even compliment it at traffic lights. And that is nothing compared to how it feels driving it. I was not actually needing a new car but still, less than a few hours later that day I had ordered the new 2019 model and now, about four months have passed and it has finally arrived at the dealer to be prepared for me to take it next week. Can't wait to finally get it.

    When you take into consideration, the category the MX5 falls into, being two seater sports car, its virtually without fault.
    Small trunk or boot, is the accepted normality, limited interior is part of the driving dynamics of such a small roadster, but the current MX5 does everything so well.
    You have to pay considerably more, to own a car of similar purpose, and even then, the driving experience does not quite equal that of the MX5

    Nice video and a good presentation. But why the gear poking while driving the car in a straight line? 😌

    • @AutoAcademics
      @AutoAcademics  8 лет назад +1

      If, by gear poking, you mean shifting, it was probably at a time when Chris was attempting to highlight a specific point. Otherwise, it may have just been editing. Now that we think of it, Chris probably just loved shifting the gears in that car. That transmission is really nice. LOL We appreciate your comments, FrankypankyV8, as well as the kind words.

      inflatable2 Amazing I'm 6.1 and my brother is 6.3 we have one each admitted it's a tight fit for him but I have no problems in fact I have to have the seat one notch forward .
      Although ours are UK spec I'm fairly sure the leg room is the same as the US model. So not sure how you came to the forget it conclusion. That said if you are fat I would say forget it what ever height you are.
