*Want to learn how to MAKE MONEY buying and driving your ideal Miata?! -> bit.ly/FREEICSWORKSHOP* What car would you like to see featured on the next OVERDRIVE series?!
Honored to have our legendary roadster featured on your channel. Thanks to Garrett and team for taking the time to do a fun deep dive. Even though we may have already known these things, we hope some drivers were able to learn a little more about why Miata is always the answer.
Wow Mazda USA commented on your video. Incredible! I must admit that this was a fantastic video, very well put together and narration was excellent. I am on my 9th Miata! I have owed all generations including a 2004 Mazdaspeed. I just picked up my 2023 GSP Club with the Brembo, BBS, Recaro. Love it… The most smiles per miles $$$ can buy!
4.5 years ago I paid $1,500 for a CA NA with just over 100k miles, planed to keep it for couple summer months. Never sold it, and probably will never sell. Such a great car.
Tom Matano is an incredible designer, and a very humble man. I was fortunate enough to have met him in August of last year, where he signed my car. Mazda has some absolutely unique heritage in that car, I hope whatever the future holds for the Miata, it will be as grand as the NA was.
What's funny about the NC MX-5 is that despite it being the heaviest generation at 1,110kg (soft-top), it's somehow still lighter than the AP1 S2000, which weighs a whopping 164kg heavier (1,274kg). Also, the NC was the last generation to have hydraulic steering, and while it wasn't as good as the NA or NB, the nature of it being hydraulic means it has better feedback than an electric rack, which if you look on forums is one of the few complaints S2K owners have.
I had a mint 2004 mazdaspeed mx5, with tasteful flying miata mods was pushing 210 hp and 200 torque which was plenty for that car sadly I sold to help ex wife biggest regret of my life.
I got my 1st ND1 mx5 last week and I’m so addicted to upgrading everything available for it and driving it just for the heck of it all over. Can’t wait for summer😎🤘🏼
@lilblingking1491 I got lucky found my 2000 2.3 manual for 2600 only the interior is trash and it had a misfire. New sparkplug and coils are it runs smooth. I have a bunch of preventative maintenance I want to do because bmw. Only down fall is small aftermarket support
the only oem NA miata parts more valuable than a hard top are the mazdaspeed a-spec bodykits and the mazdaspeed bucket seats. i recently saw a pair of the mazdaspeed seats going for $4000 for a pair
@@IdealMediaChannel I love the exterior design of the NC Miata. Overall design looks cool, the proportion is "just right" to me and the NC Miata is the first Miata to feature a hard top retractable roof!! I don't care what people say about the weight. It's just 100lb more than the NB. The NC Miata has the most spacious interior compared to the others. Even though it's heavier than the NB, the engine did make up for it. And the another reason why I love the NC Miata is because the NC Miata is my first pick when I started to play the Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 6 arcade game! Oh and welcome to the Ideal Fam, Garrett! Love your commentaries!!
I would never buy one but I have fitted a lot of aftermarket parts to them, only the latest version tho. In that latest version I think the steering wheel is way too big.. if I actually owned one I'd be swapping that wheel for a smaller one ASAP. Oh and fitting a turbo to it..
Even on older versions, Im buying na NB soon, steering wheel swap is very high on my priority list of mods, I can barely fit and that huge steering wheel doesn't help.
I would just like to correct that this isn't a JDM car like he says in the beginning. These were very well intended to be sold in the US and were very successful in our market
I have a fantastic Miata 2.0 ND with some modifications, fantastic car, fun to drive with the naturally aspirated engine that pushes up to 7500 RPM, beautiful design, in just 1070KG you have everything you need,
I am legit considering picking up either an NB or NC Miata. I live in Utah, and we have a LOT of canyons here, so the potential is high for a canyon carver.
@@IdealMediaChannel If I can find one. They're not exactly common, and I don't think the NC Miata has a Mazdaspeed version. The NB Miata does, but they're rare.
The vinyl top on the 2010 mx5 is garbage. It will split at the pivot points or seams within 2 years. The guy that installed a replacement said it was made by Toyota. No matter what i used the second vinyl top split too. It did not leak but it looked cheap like the Bmw z3 plastic window
Even a brand new nd2 is affordable compared to the pricing of the na when it first came out when you count inflation. In a world of cars that seem to only get fatter and heavier with so much horsepower that you already breaking the law in 2nd gear ,Mazda was able to go lighter smaller with the added tech all while packaging it in a Front mid engine for that perfect 50/50 and faster with a higher redline than ever before 🤌 it's truly a masterpiece in today car enthusiast world

I didn't know about right wheel drive cars, must corner weird.

Good move
What about the left wheel?
I'm about halfway through building my exocet miata. Can't wait to finally get it on the road!

Beautiful story.. or rather an IDEAL story!

Its ok bro. I sold my 03 tacoma to keep the apartment me and my ex fiance had right before she left. I understand your pain.
I did the same with my 2000se. Always sad
I got my 1st ND1 mx5 last week and I’m so addicted to upgrading everything available for it and driving it just for the heck of it all over. Can’t wait for summer😎🤘🏼
Nice Vidéo Garret. I love this car and the NC is my favorite. Have a good day.
I have a 2003 LS with a hard top in garnet red. I love it. It is a step up from my red 1991.
This is THE cutest car ever in my opinion, she is my love❤❤❤
Welcome new guy at ideal cars
Couldn't find a cheap miata so I bought the German variant the z3
No way😂
@@lilblingking1491 it's the same car just faster and less happy
@@calvincngo I think they’re better cars overall. I can’t believe you couldn’t find a miata for less money than a z3!
@lilblingking1491 I got lucky found my 2000 2.3 manual for 2600 only the interior is trash and it had a misfire. New sparkplug and coils are it runs smooth. I have a bunch of preventative maintenance I want to do because bmw. Only down fall is small aftermarket support
Just be aware of the reliability though
Alas.... No mention of the wonderful "M" Editions....
Ideal media makes this car 100 times better 🔥🔥
Appreciate the kind words!
the only oem NA miata parts more valuable than a hard top are the mazdaspeed a-spec bodykits and the mazdaspeed bucket seats. i recently saw a pair of the mazdaspeed seats going for $4000 for a pair
I had an nc briefly loved it till the engine blew up (preexsisting issue i wasnt told about refunded as undrr warrenty)
0:39 Should warn people about the jump scare
My dream car
I smile everyday I drive my na Miata 😊
SAME
OK but how often do you make them wink ?
Woooot! Go Garrett!!!
VERY GOOD MIATA VIDEO ! COVERS A LOT !
Great video with lots of info ! Love it !
Love those older miata's
As a forged boosted NA miata owner I support this lol peace n love fam keep it rad stay safe and build on l8z famz
There was a real hardtop miata. Very limited and super rare.
After this vid, the acronym for Miata should be FUN. Go Garrett
Buddy you forgot the 2004 and 2005 mazdaspeed Miata. They were not always naturally aspirated.
I have great hopes for garret
Or should I say ideal hopes for garret
it is the awnser
idc if it dosnt work for it XD
NB SUPERIORITY!!!!!
This was entertaining. Now I only want a Miata! The host Garrett has good vibes! I dig it!
Me too
NC Miata is my favourite 😆
Why's that?!

His eyes are scary
I want the NC because very few wants it.
Them eyes 😅
I have a 2015 nc miata it is not a boat by any mean the hate the nc's get is laughable 😂 its a fantastic car and its my personal favorite generation
I would never buy one but I have fitted a lot of aftermarket parts to them, only the latest version tho. In that latest version I think the steering wheel is way too big.. if I actually owned one I'd be swapping that wheel for a smaller one ASAP. Oh and fitting a turbo to it..
62 yrs old. Best car I have ever owned. Goes great with a pickup. I will own a Miata to the end of my driving days.
Even on older versions, Im buying na NB soon, steering wheel swap is very high on my priority list of mods, I can barely fit and that huge steering wheel doesn't help.
Look a video without an ad shilling something.
nice video
Right wheel drive roadster?
Ok. 🤔
Haha, he's the new guy
That irked me bad 🤣

Mazdaspeed.... :)
@@IdealMediaChannel If I can find one. They're not exactly common, and I don't think the NC Miata has a Mazdaspeed version. The NB Miata does, but they're rare.
Is garry blind? dem eyes though
I prefer the nb to the na but both of them are nice
whys that?
put some respect on the nc
Miatas are fun but not always the answer. They have become way overpriced. I will stick with my BMW Z4 3.0si. 😎
The vinyl top on the 2010 mx5 is garbage. It will split at the pivot points or seams within 2 years. The guy that installed a replacement said it was made by Toyota. No matter what i used the second vinyl top split too. It did not leak but it looked cheap like the Bmw z3 plastic window
this guys face really bothers me... he looks like a vampire
Right wheel, thought it was rear wheel drive? 🤔
It's just them hating on front wheel drive cars.🙄
Ur eyes are scary bro
You could put a vine boom sound after every few sentences you speak lol
Haha glad you liked it!
My dream car for making me happy
Always the answer...
Do a vid on the z31 300zx! They're so under rated lol
Ohhh just you wait!!
Yes!
Right wheeled drive 💁🏼♂️
Yo yo yo
Yooo
Second
First in our book!
I disliked video because of this new lences guy😁
I hate Garrett 🤦🏿♂️
Gat out of IDEAL, GARRETT!
