- My review of the ND2 generation MX5 Miata RF Grand Touring. Is this car still just as good with a 6 speed auto?

I lost it at "Hi, I'm Scotty Kilmer's daughter" 😂🤣😂
Those two should make a video collaboration!!
Getting the auto version is like eating a candy bar with the wrapper still on it.
Sarah, you should do a tool showcase, on the stuff your using, loving the lift you have.
PS... the Scotty Kilmer reference had me LMFAO.
😂😂😂 Either it actually has a decent sized trunk, or Sarah was a contortionist in her early days.
I guess, it might not be as fun but it do be faster.
@@mrpotat680 right but at the end of the day it's an MX-5.
" what I really like about my slow car is it's a little bit faster but nowhere near as fun"
People who order an MX-5 with an automatic should probably be institutionalized.
@@mrpotat680 the fun to me is in the drive and handling which is still the same
Am not getting the beansO’meter, a rate of 1.5 of 5 possible beans, makes it a terrible car, in fact, 2.5 beans make a car mediocre, yes, not really fantastic, more grey than shiny, so, is there any chance to talk to us about the beans metric? T.i.a.
Remembering when this model first came out in 1989, the auto press had a cargasm. Here was a roadster that captured the charm and fun of the old European roadsters from the days of old but with reliable Japanese mechanicals and modern tech. In the old days, you could not drive a classic roadster 50 miles without spare parts, a rosary bead and a prayer book. The miata was the car that saved the open roadster from near extinction.
Yes and 30 years later the Miata continues to be the only affordable roadster. (The Fiat version doesn’t count.) To put it another way, without Mazda, there would be no modern affordable roadster.
Well the British hated it. They thought it was a ugly Japanese initiation of their British roadster. Google the top gear reactions to the car, it does not age well lol
@@johntechwriter Some would say S2000, the mentioned MR2 and second hand Z3 and Z4 and probably the TT.
@@matthiasschuster9505 Only Z4 and TT are available today and they are not comparable. Neither offers a manual transmission.
Thats funny, I have a BMW Z4 with almost 200,000 miles on it. Daily driver. M54B30
My chiropractor recommended this car for my back. Now he keeps pestering me to borrow it.
So your medical insurance paid for it?
That's a good tip to convince my wife 😉
"This will be my last video ever now that I found out I have a daughter!" ~Scotty Kilmer
Thanks, I just bought a 2020 after watching this!
Congrats! 🎉
Its a mini Viper
Both my Miatas have the auto. Stuck in gridlock on the freeway, I want the auto. When I need someone else to ferry my car or they don't know how to shift a manual, I want the auto! When I am tired or just plain lazy, I need the auto. Stop putting down the automatic. It has it's place and it does a great service for those of us that need it or just plain want it. You want the manual...fine, just stop bashing the automatic.
The Auto in sport mode on tight twisty hilly roads is outstanding. As a daily driver its a very easy car to kick around..I doubt I would go back to a manual after owning this car..
This is my dilemma. It’ll be my daily car and i drive on highways with traffic and not just twisty roads on the weekend so idk what to do. I don’t want the auto to sap all the fun
@@ValFinale get a test drive in an auto 2.0 litre and try the sports switch out, it's impressive.
Dont forget too ring that bell lil miss Scotty kilmer
“So you’ll just basically be dehydrated...” (cute crooked smile)
Perfectly awkward !!! ❤️
Hahaha I was laughing so hard
Those heated seats would kill anybody with piles.
Love that smile 😊
This is the exact color I bought on my 2019 MX-5 RF Eternal Blue. I cannot fault anything on it. Before I bought it I did my research and every person that reviewed it said "This Car puts a SMILE on your Face". I'm still smiling.. :)
I bought my Miata March 31 2023.
It is a 2.0L 184HP Jet Black convertible
What the hell is this? Not interesting.
“Hi! I’m Scotty Kilmer’s daughter!” Lmao 😂
you mean son?
Robin, that’s Sarah’s line. Watch the video...
Say hi to your father 😀😀😀
@@Robin-ic7sy I see your intent
Mauricio Starosta 2020 club owner. Brembo bbs Recaro. Previous 2004 Mazdaspeed owner. I wish I bought the auto. Paddle shift not that bad. The car has no torque, Needs an auto. Constantly shifting. Wear your ass out. Drove both. Test drive was fun with stick. Real world and traffic and stop signs. Auto is better. Car needs a turbo. More torque. Probably sell it. Buy another corvette. Mazda needs to be be around 250 -300 hp. To be a 21st century car. Like my old Mazdaspeed better. Just my opinion
I purchased a new 2018 RF manual. I’ve owned lots of great cars (sorry not bragging) but my Miata is is absolutely the most fun you can have
for the money. I’m in love with this car!
Is this chick a comedian.. cuz that's the vibe
I don't know why, but I find it funny when Sarah stares into the camera, rambles a bit, and trails off mid thought.
There's a reason why the MX-5 is a benchmark vehicle. The car is equal parts engineered for performance and fun. A reward to who drives it.
“They don’t make honey, they just make... death” 😂😂😂 love the review btw 😄
lol Combination of cuteness and geekness perfectly blended. I give this channel 3 beans
Wow, kudos Sarah for a very fair and fun review of the admittedly less fun auto version - for those who just need an auto, this tells them what they need to know. And - no other reviewer that I have seen mentioned the more aggressive final drive....! Garage science indeed....
Miata guys everywhere, "Yup, told you it's that good."
Mazda auto transmissions, despite only having 6spds are very good, one of the quickest shifting torque converter autos around by far. Proving that more gears are neither necessary or more fun. That said, your right, the 6spd manual would always be my choice as well. Outstanding review of a legendary automobile.
MX5's are great fun ,had my 91 5 speed for 20 years, never sell her now
SAY IT WITH ME: *pop up up-and-down headliiiiihgts pop up-up-and-down headliiiiights*
Tom H Say it with me. Disembowels pedestrians and will never pass 21st century design laws. Get over it.
Disembowels pedestrians? WTF? Seriously?????
DinoCat That’s why nobody does pop up headlights anymore. You can’t make them comply with pedestrian safety requirements. Sadly, they are from another era.
Richard Houlton Interesting.... luckily I have an S13 240sx with pop-up headlights, and a NA Miata, that’s good enough for me hahaha
That is one of the best modern engines bays I’ve seen. Such little plastic compared to most other cars.
5:00 Wait... who is Scotty Kilmer and why am I laughing at this?!
This is the first video I've seen of you and I'm already fan 😁👍
C'mon Sarah Kilmer your in Phoenix Arizona those seat warmers will cook your arse to well done. I like mine rare ! That is why my 2016 Club does not have any seat warmers. Their cloth too so any butt sweat will be lovingly soaked up in them. I thought my trunk was small but you once again proved to me just how big a ND trunk really is TY !
I have the 2018 RF AT in blue! Just an awesome car ! Yes, get Apple CarPlay!
Little Sarah must be too busy now miss her in your car reviews🙁
Michael Berry little Sarah is too fun on the videos
You call yourself weird a lot but you aren't really weird. Interesting yes, intriguing a little, but weird no. Dont call it weird, call it being Sarah! You are awesome the way you are.
jeez ur sooo cute ,my god why hasnt some one married her yer,shes perfect
MrChris1316 I’d rather be alone than w/ an idiot for the sake of being in a relationship. Lol
She is pretty easy on the eyes. 😍
This channel is severely undersubscribed.
Choosing an A/T for MX 5 is a mortal sin Great review BTW
Elaborate. I have an automatic 95 M Edition, it’s been an amazing car, it’s been great I would definitely get an automatic ND.
@@dinocat7490 Fine I always respect individual preference
Bong Lim not necessarily a sin, my wife has always liked the Miata for the looks and it’s a convertible, she’s not into cars at all. I have an automatic 30th anniversary on order for her. If it was for me, the Miata would definitely be manual
People have all the right to be mediocre drivers and chose automatics.
I am 6'2'' and will not fit in this car.
Great job content wise but not sure how long you're gonna keep going with the "I'm kinda dumb" routine. Time to drop it maybe? But hey, you do you. Who am I to say anything … other than being your target audience as a RUclips viewer, car enthusiast, and miata owner.
Had a nd1 RF and swapped to nd2 softtop.. dropping 110lb really makes a difference in acceleration feel, as well as less wind noise with roof down. Considering I roll w roof down nearly all the time (weather permitting) I just use a bucket of sunblock and a boonie cap in a feeble attempt to not die of skin cancer... totally worth it :D
Aurora design makes a seat drop kit now that brings the seat 1.5" down. I'm 5'9" so I fit in pretty much everything, but I'm eyeballing that drop kit since I'd rather feel like I'm in the car vs on it. I imagine its a game changer for anyone over 5'10.
Nice bit of info on the soft vs RF. I'll try both, but already leaning towards the soft top! Did you end up doing lowering brackets? How was it?
I have the Abarth 124 and I’m 5’11” and love the fit of the car - except when my wife drives it and I forget to reset the seat before getting in and then it is torture getting in. I was looking at the RF when I bought the Abarth, the Miata is nice but I felt like the Abarth just suited me better.
Another awesome review, Sarah! I just love your awkward humor! Now I wanna go get some chips and salsa...
@7:26-7:36
Ah. The Enterprise A through D. Got it.
Save manuals!!!!!
Mazda needs to make a coupe already. I want a roof, less weight, and luggage space. I don't give a shit about a retractable fastback.
I have a 2017 rf launch edition with a 6mt... Even though its the 155hp version im going to keep this car forever. It handles incredible, is quicker than most cars and i get almost 40mpg on the highway. I love this car. The redish nappa leather is beautiful too with the machine gray metallic paint color. Next upgrades i get for it will be a posi and an edelbrock supercharger so it reminds me more of my old 2004 mazdaspeed mx-5.
The styling of the older cars were better... they trying to over-compensate for being a cute small car by making it look like a UFC fighter with a mouth-guard on this one.
I totally disagree. I think the new front end design is off the hook!
Your awkwardly funny. Hahaha
Nice! you have a crew now? No, dont stop, dont ever stop.
I bought the automatic RF in 2016... Never again. I hated myself after 6 months and 3 months later I was at the dealership to negotiate a trade. They agreed and with only a minor loss I bought a softtop manual (2000cc) and now life is shiny again...
Did you hate the automatic part or RF part?
Alexander Huang the automatic. This car is meant to be driven with a manual transmission. It's 1 of the best manuals you can get in a car. The RF is not bad, in fact I'd love if Mazda made a coupe! The car just excudes driving pleasure.
great move soft top only way to go
@@KB-Riderwithabeard I would love the manual. But I live in southern California where traffic is constantly bumper to bumper. I would get so frustrated having to stay in 1st and 2nd gear. With automatic I can just rev and brake as much as I want.
Double FotyFo just drive really slowly on first gear
Great video. I'm going to show this to my 16yo daughter, you seem to share the same style of humor
I saw one of these in person today and loved it! I circled back to show my son and the blue just popped! Th color is corthy of a Porsche PTS IMO.
Haha your humor cracks it with me all the time :D
And welcome to the team, Kayla! Good job cameraing :)
I like your wierd humor.
7:24 so the next generation of Miata will be the NE, electric Miata guys!!??? I see what Miata is doing
Fiat 124 is the NE, Abarth 124 is NF. I also thought NE for electric would be perfect and I still see it coming. With the Wankel as range extender as in the MX 30.
What cars have achieved 3 Beans or more?
Maybe it needs cooled seats
Super annoying reviewer and review ..... had to stop watching 😩
Cool Car, wrong Color and nice Girl... It is so different to my 25 year old Toyota Paseo Cabrio, but I change to a beautiful red MX 5 RF this year, and... for sure it is different
At least we know we can fit a 5,11,, woman in the trunk. 😂 Seriously though, I was able to fit a whole cart full of groceries in the trunk by doing some tetris-ing of the food.
You may not “ruin it”, but it is a slightly “diminished” MX5 with a slush box.
Did a good job blocking it at the beginning and the end, but just let it hang out on your shoulder at 6:00.
Also, you might have just ruined chips and salsa for me.
You are hilarious! I like it. 😁😁😁
An automatic Miata? Boooo, Boooooo, that should not be allowed.
so tall and so cute
1:17 - 1:24...BEST PART!
Kyla...2 Words...Stripper Heels! Scotty Kilmer's Daughter...CLASSIC!
Too many dry fucking jokes ruined the review. Also not being sexist but i found out only a handful of girls are able to deliver a great car reviews.
Wait, this channel now has three cute intelligent young women?
Yeah, good thing scottie's daughter decided to join in.
You do that stuff because it makes me laugh uncontrollably at work then people want to know what's wrong with me
Put the original Miata body over the new chassis and you’ll have the ultimate Miata.
The power to weight ratio is much like a 2000-2005 Toyota Celica GTS and that was a legitimate quick car so that is prob why this one is so quick and I think this one has about 100 lbs less to it and is rear wheel drive.
You should have more subscribers
Exodus I don’t clickbait hard enough lol
What is the color of this car? I saw one in person yesterday and fell in love!
Lol, had to ceramic coat that small painted part under the a-pillar since you mentioned it. Robots !
Lol x2! That was your funniest review ever. I mean your jokes, of course. Nice!
A better simile for you:
Buying a Miata in an automatic is like buying an expensive french wine but drinking it out of a spill-resistant plastic sippy cup.
Good content and a relevant review but don’t try too hard to be funny with silent drop off moments every 10 secs. It’s funny a couple times but becomes annoying after 6 or 7 in less than 3 minutes of video.
AUTOMATIC???? That should be illegal for an MX5
I am also 5'11" and feel very cramped in these things, seatback is not at a good angle for comfort.
both Android Auto and Apple Car play should be there. just plug in your phone.
Should of reviewed this vehicle in a bikini.
Not sure how you would make the MX 5 fit in a bikini though?
Should *have*, not should *of*. Come on, Johnnie, you can do better.
What does a car have to do for you to give it a 5 🌯🌯🌯🌯🌯 review. I can't find the bean emoji so I used burritos because they probably have beans in them?
🌯 is a Döner Kebap or a Gyros Pita, for sure no Burrito icon
@@norolemodel2883 A Döner is actually round.
@@matthiasschuster9505 der für auf die Hand sieht doch wohl so aus wie das icon, oder?
Everytime I get into a car someone else was driving I am basically tongue kissing the steering wheel cause I’m so close. How the hell do non tall people drive haha?!
Beautiful young lady
Wow
I would believe you were Scotty Kilmer's daughter.
Yay Kyla!
Sarah, I would love to see you drive a Honda S2000.
Lol at the Scotty Kilmer's daughter reference.
I recently found your channel. Your channel has become one of my favorites. Your highly entertaining and your car knowledge and enthusiasm so impressive. Keep up the good work.
I’m leasing the 2019 Miata RF in red! I love it!
You can do the firmware update and get airplay and google auto :-)
Great video! Your lab coat needs a pocket protector. XD
Is something wrong with your left foot, that you can't stand flat?
Great review, wish you had shown us more of Kyla, what a babe.
The colour is gorgeous. Too bad all here are either white, grey or red
Fuck me I just got a new car like legit on Saturday.. I knew I shoulda looked into the new miata.. but no my gf thinks there ugly..haha.. I've always loved miata's tho
jeremy r never buy a vehicle based on the opinions of another, even a loved one.
What I have read, This new Maxda is one of the most reliable sport cars you can buy, We have a older one, 2012 and it's been problem free, But the new body style and the retractible roof is Awesome!! Mazda Is really doing Great things with all there Cars, since they broke away from Ford Motor company.
2020 MX-5 RF GT Manual Eternal Blue till death do we part!
Looks nice! Glad you found another person to help out. I have never understood.though why they dont offer a higher end trim with more power and/or a turbo. I also dont understand the current asking price. It seems like it shouldn't be more than 25k.
I kinda get they are going for a car that you can actually use all the power it has and throw it around safely.......but I dunno everyone claims how much they miss the S2000.....to me it seems like Mazda could snag that audience by just adding a turbo.
How much power do you think the car could handle before it starts to drive like a different animal? For me though it might not matter. I'm 6 ft 2 so seeing you get in it......yea I get kinda claustrophobic just looking at it. Standing near one of the older ones it seems like i would be able to lift it off the ground by myself. I'm looking at the new Mazda3 pretty hard though for real.
only GT gets the speakers in the headrest if im not mistaken
