“Except it would be built in Japan so it would actually work.” Gold.
It's a pretty common thing to say about the miata actually
@@francisj4058 Cars in general, really.

@@francisj4058 No. Cars in general*. Few makers are properly reliable anymore, with most of them being Japanese.
@@squidikka true
I love Miata owners. The are some of the best bunch. Not one to be braggy, showy or pretentious like some other car owners. They genuinely love their Miatas and drive them with pure enjoyment. Bravo!
La Das thanks 🙏🏼 I agree!!
Yeeeeeeeeep!
I like to give other inferior miata owners a hard time (I have the best gen, NB) but the fact of it is, even the ugly heavy NC is a great car.
Not a fan of them, at all. There's some twirled mustache hipster who drives one wearing a fedora who tried to race my Z06. It was a stanced NA but had nothing else done to it. Not sure what he thought would happen, but he could not keep up either in the corners or the straights. Funniest little clown I've ever seen. It's all well and good people like Miatas, but lol they're so slow and tiny. I had an old Buick that was faster than any Miata (yeah of course it wouldn't handle as good)...
Shinstu, Im sorry you bought a POS American car.
Miatas looks so happy, just like anyone who drives them they have a smile on their face
Yes!
Preach
Happy = Gay Indeed.
@@rodmunch69 glad you found a thesaurus in your middle school library
Can confirm
This really is one of the few cars that people say is fun and actually is. Whenever the roof is down, I look up and just smile. And it's always great to see another Miata of any generation and their driver waving at you on the road and driving alongside you as you go. Truly one of the cars and community made
I owned a '93 Rx7 a few years back. At one point, I was getting my engine rebuild and a friend let me borrow his '95? Miata while mine was in the shop. Despite having laughable power compared to my street-ported twin turbo, that Miata was a ton of fun to drive. It was nowhere near as fast as my Rx7, but I honestly think the Miata was more fun to drive in many ways.
"New phone who dis" was the best punchline ever!
I liked the one about (paraphrased) "this is the only rear end play I'll get"
😂😂😂😂
I was expecting, "Engagement's off."
That totally made my day xD
It's a punch to English language.
Every time I see a Miata it reminds me of the scene where the two Miatas flashed Lightning McQueen in Cars
It's reminds me of Super Troopers 😁
@@soulsnatcher5408 YOU BOYS LIKE MEXICO!! Love it

Christian Grey omg, mia+tia = miatia = miata. Mind is blown
@@MW2fabian better late than never.
I drove in anger (autocross course) the first gen ND right after driving my 91 NA. They do, as you point out, feel and react to imputs exactly the same. I could not believe how Mazda had accomplished such thing!

The paint on the na miata here is literally amazing 10/10 bring back that color, Mazda.
As the owner of a BRG NA6, and a Montego Blue Mica NA8 - meh. Once I heard it called "Smurf Blue", and that stuck.
Isaw a red one .. damn too sexy
Jim Boulter. I've just installed my newly rebuilt engine on my blue 1991 Miata about 2 months ago & is now ready for the paint job. I already purchased a gray half gallon of paint to paint it myself but I am now seriously considering painting it in orange just like the new anniversary Miata. I'm actually surprised that the first generation NA Miatas didn't come in orange since it's such a roadster color.
It's probably the most rear play I'll get this year 7:05 Nice
Mazda does have a color currently that's similar to that, and probably inspired by the color on the NA. It's called Eternal Blue, I'd argue it's a similar shade, but now it's just metallic.
Homie said “Semen Blue” and I lost it
Makes you wonder what "homie" caught from his last "ho" LOL
He said Seaman Blue lmao
Portapottie blue.
@@Affalterbach1967 You mean portaloo? Sounds better and funnier an portapotty. Why do North Americans say "portapotty" when construction workers aren't babies?
@@automation7295 cuz we don’t say loo. And to be honest we call them portashitters
I went from muscle cars to fwd civics (ctr) to wrx's & now I drive a NB miata.. Funest car I've driven.
Crazy Right?!!!! as if something does not seem to fit, but it does :)
I love miata but WRX more
Hi, I know its been 8 months since you wrote this comment, but i really expect your reply. I currently own a 2006 wrx, but i dont use it as much (I dont daily drive) so its just sitting there. Im thinking of getting an NA miata, and actually work on it, not mod it, but keep it running, and drive it around for fun or for meets. Do yo think the WRX-Miata swap is a good choice ?
I've seen one ej20 swap miata on YT & l dont know how much work it took to swap it? . It'd go K20/24 miata . still a awd miata sure sounds sweet 😎
@@mannybananas1322 Woow, that was a fast reply. Thanks for the insight, even though i think you didnt got me right (knowing english as second language sometimes is really tough when it comes to technical terms). What i really meant was not an engine swap (my bad), but to sell the WRX and buy a NA Miata and keeping it stock (with the 1.6 or 1.8 engine) as i guess you did but instead with an NB. Sorry for the confusion.
my dad had a first gen miata while i was growing up, we always called it the little blue car. Seeing such a mint condition example of it was nostalgic, we lost the car to a wreck a few years ago (noone was hurt). Thanks for the memories!
If your 'dad' drove a Miata, it's very unlikely he's your father since those people don't like women. You should ask your mom which one of your 'uncles' is really your father, and ask why she's been lying to you.

I bought a 99 Miata like 7 years ago and used it as a fun daily beater. I still have it and am now finally modifying the suspension, refreshing all the bushings to poly, new soft top, etc. It feels so much more planted and a little bit more serious feeling now. Next on the list is some lightweight 15x8 wheels and maybe a new paint job one of these days.
How is that NA ONLY $5k?! It's so clean! Would've easily cost €10k here. I'm still looking for one as my first car (torn between NA and NB), so many people I know treat driving as a chore, as something that you NEED to do. I want an MX-5 because I WANT to drive it, go out for a night drive in the hills and enjoy it.

I literally read that as he was saying that like I also did that with someone else comment, what is my timing
I hope he got his rear played this yeR
Monkeypox is a huge issue in the Miata driving community.
I bought my ND in June and honestly, I think it was probably the best decision I've made in my adult life. I genuinely feel bad for the naysayers of these cars because they don't know what they're missing. They're so much fun and make you feel so alive and if you're lucky enough to have a local Miata community like I do then being a part of that is also a blast. Even the NC which even people within the Miata community sometimes rag on is a super underrated and extremely fun car with tons of character and great reliability.
Which bath house do you all meet up at?
“Most rear play I’ll get this year”. 😂 The English dude is hilarious.
The music is perfect.😂😂late 80's early 90's vibes af!💯

You don't drive a Miata, you wear it like a glove.
I'll never get used to people calling it a Miata. Mine was a Japanese import, mx5 Eunos. Fully kitted out and beautiful.
or a condom? and enjoy.
@@JohnnyZenith MX5 Eunos? Come on man, it's the Eunos Roadster, Eunos is the brand
JohnnyZenith I know them only as Miatas. MX-5 throws me off. Hahaha.
Tell me about it. I’m 5’10 185lb, and my NB has a fixed racing seat. There is no graceful way to get in and out lol
I just had my first car, a Mazda 3 of 2008 and I actually fell in love with Mazda's cars. They all seems to be so enjoyable and reliable, and they are so beautiful !
Lol , buy an na, you’ll never stop smiling
Let me guess, you used to be a man, but now tell everyone you're a woman.
I loved my Mazda 6 1.8 TS 2012 until the electric steering rack failed, £1,500 to have repaired!!
Excellent video. It perfectly encapsulates all the reasons I love mine and will never sell it. It's the car that made me love cars, and has forever changed the course of my life for the better.
I've owned 3 miatas. Currently in an e39 BMW 540i. Now I'm debating selling it and buying another Miata. THANKS GUYS.
Promethevs please don’t sell your 540i. Especially if it is an m sport. If you do please make sure it goes to a buyer who won’t trash it. They’re becoming harder and harder to find in good shape
@@codymachado I'm mostly joking haha. It is an m-sport with the 6 speed manual. I've been pretty happy with it so far, although the PO didn't take that good care of it.

I Bought a 1st Generation Miata 1996 and i am the happiest Person to be alive. It is my first car and it is already my favorite
I bought my first NA back in January. This year has been the most fun I've had with any car lol.
Lots of trips to interstate rest stops I'm guessing.
The thumbnail looks like two happy best mates who's cars are also happy best mates
The new miata looks happy and the old miata looks like it was just violated lol
That's so wholesomee
This makes me miss my NA so much. i can see the legitimate excitement they get driving it and i know exactly how they feel. RIP my Yukiko
What happened to her?
@@btmeant578 She wasn't in the best shape when i got her but i drove her for years. I didn't have the money to deal with the issues she had like: bad soft top in a state that rains a bunch, no ac so i had to drive with the windows down in the rain so my windows wouldn't fog( got splashed by 2 different cars the same day once on what was only a 7 minute drive home from work. ), randomly wouldn't start sometimes, headlights wouldn't go up and down and eventually went haywire( had to unplug the motors in the up position), the list goes on... but when she wouldn't start one day, I was kind of over the pit falls knowing i was too broke at the time to fix them any time soon so i honestly didn't put in the effort i should have to find the problem and sold her for practically nothing. turns out it was just the battery.... he literally bought one the same day and drove her home. I would have kept her if i had done a little more research to learn that a battery could still be the issue even if the car wouldn't start with a jump but i wrote it off as not a battery issue. anyway, i never reported that i sold the car and we got a towing notice in the mail about a year later. looks like she just completely broke down and the dude that bought her just abandoned her somewhere.
雪子 or 幸子 ？
This review helped me in deciding to go for an ND2 , thankfully there was a 30th AE available at my local dealership. It wasn't sold yet and I fell in love with it. Haven't regretted my purchase since. Keep on doing what you're doing; your car reviews are well thought out , funny and the production value is off the charts.
*mom walks into room* video: "Its semen blue"

Killer intro! I'm going to do that next time my girl texts something absurd 😂
Miata over the woman any day 🤣🤣🤣
So much to say about the Miata. First I have a 99, I have also driven every gen and even most sub gen’s (na, nb1, nb2, NC1,2&3, nd1&2,). Every gen of Miata is fun to drive, there is such a variation to choose from with no wrong answers. I am grateful they exist and to some extent not fully appreciated so the price is reasonable (even though prices have rose drastically recently). I was born into the car world as my dad raced and I grew up in the pit. My first car was a 79 280zx and my second car was a 76 280z. I have owned 30 cars and most of them manual. I have driven well over 1,000 cars and I have two cars that are my benchmark. In first is the 981 Cayman GTS PDK that I raced around SpeedVegas, precision is the word that best describes the 981 Caymam GTS PDK. Anything I asked of it in hairpin corners it would do with each corner entry speed able to be increased. Then you have that flat 6 sound singing in your ear to redline and it becomes addicting to drive flat out. In second is my NB1 Miata, with a hard dog roll bar, cheap tires that have low limits and easy breakaway that is very progressive, stock plus suspension, 5 speed manual that is a joy to shift , lsd , hydraulic steering rack with great feedback and weighs only 2,299lbs. This NB1 is FUN at any speed. Thank you gents for some of the best automotive content on KZhead.
Great review! As an owner of a 1997 NA (purchased new in '97) it was great to see a comparison by two reviewers who obviously love Miatas as much as I and many others do. I may buy an ND, but I will never sell my NA. Oh, and mine, being a well-equipped NA, has many of the features you said weren't in the NA such as power windows, etc. But as you said, any Miata is a great sports car. Thanks!
Such passion in this vid. Great review guys!
Amazing car, amazing review, and I love your choice of music for this video. One thing I want to mention is that the NA you're driving is a PERFECT example; few, if any, are in that condition, and if you want something reliably fun, much much safer, has more comfort features, and IMO looks much better, the ND is a no brainer. The car looks incredible. Great job bringing this amazing comparison to us!
Your enthusiasm for cars and driving is incredibly contagious. Thank you!
Great video... I really enjoyed that... thanks! I'm 54 years old and bought a flawless completely stock 43k-mile 2000 SE (NB1) two years ago. It now has over 90k miles on it (which is still nothing for a 19-yr-old car)! You could say I enjoy driving it! LOL! It's still stock with the exception of adjustable Koni Sport dampers and a Racing Beat front sway bar to tighten up the handling just a bit. I'm also in my second season of autocross with it - and it is perfect for that! I've owned far faster V8-powered muscle cars and far more luxurious/comfortable cars, but none of them were anywhere near as much FUN as the Miata. I drive it every single day and it never fails to put a smile on my face. I've been tempted recently to upgrade to a new ND2 for the modern amenities and additional power & comfort - and to reward Mazda for continuing to build this car, but I just can't bear the thought of getting rid of the NB. It just has so much... soul! This video reinforces my reluctance to sell it, but I still can't stop thinking about the ND2. Maybe I'll keep the NB1 AND buy an ND2! LOL
"You get to play with the rear. It's probably the most rear play I'll get all year." I totally understand, bro.
Gotta love how both James and Thomas 'winked' the lights as soon as they started driving the NA
I drove my buddies NA 5 years ago summer between highschool and college. I had never driven a rear wheel drive sports car before and I ended up doing a 180 with it (thankfully in the middle of the road so neither us nor the car was hurt). That experience was what set me on my journey to make me qualified to own my Mustang GT PP1 today!
I’ve owned my ‘18 ND GT for about 18 months now. It’s my daily driver, and out of about a dozen cars I’ve owned and daily driven, the Miata is my favorite, hands-down. I watched this video a few months ago but didn’t subscribe back then, and quickly forgot about this video. I’m glad I rediscovered it to day, after subscribing to the channel in the last week. Please keep up the great work, gentlemen!
Great line to end a great video. You guys captured the spirit of the car and injected it into your viewers.
Fantastic video guys! Great filming/editing as usual, top banter too xD
I hit the like button before I even watched the video! What's better than a Mazda Miata review......two Miata's in the same review. Well done guys!!
You guys have the best and innovative intro of all the other channels... Keep it on guys Love From 🇮🇳
I am an NA owner on a budget and I dont think that an ND would give me $40K worth more fun...;-))
1.6 car or 1.8 car
2005 Mazdaspeed MX-5 turbo, at 1/3 the price.
Mod an NB for 30k and die in a few days with 400hp. Best death ever
To be fair they are almost the same price where i live.. 6k for a totaled miata lol
That's the anniversary edition. A new ND Miata starts at 27K
What an amazing video. I felt the joy of driving a Miata from watching this. And you guys just made a bunch of people buy older Miatas I bet.
Headlights go up, headlights go down. I bought my beater '91 Miata five years ago and have never had more fun driving a car in my 40+ years of driving. Awesome video, guys!
Their joy and enthusiasm is infectious and makes me more optimistic to have any model Miata in the future... But probably still not as my primary daily
It's just interesting that both people grinned like children in the NA. And both had very serious facial expressions in the ND. That level of joy/fun is the truest form of motoring.
You guys are better than Grand Tour and invoking old Top Gear. Keep it up.
True.
lol, lets not get carried away now lad
old top gear 😫
Driving my NA is such a great time every time I get into the car. Its genuinely like driving a road legal gokart. I love miatas so damn much
Still coming back to watch this again and again.
Happy to be on Mazda Delearship and work as a Technician. I love driving this ND MX-5 after the service is done. 😍

@@davidmurray1361 I do some test drive after the service or repair. It's actually an after repair QC test drive
Meanwhile at Regular Car Reviews: “Track day bro!”
One of the best car reviews I have seen in awhile.
Just bought a 2020 ND RF Grand Touring, I absolutely love it, and this video made me even happier with my purchase.
The difference between a cabriolet and a roadster is that a cabriolet is a normal car that can open its top in nice weather. The MX5 is a roadster, an open car that you close only in the rain. Nice test!!!!!!! You discribed precisely my feeling when I 'm driving my NA

Great review men. My wife had a 2005 Miata which we equipped with winter tires. It was a blast to drive during the winter. Cheers.
I don’t understand why you guys don’t have 2 million subscribers!! The best auto vlog!!!!
I drive a 1990 Miata and I just love it. They are so much fun, its my all year round car. I also love that 30 anniversary one...Love that orange colour
Miata Mk 1 = Pure, Perfect. Zero electronic aids. Super light, Super simple. Automotive Zen And look at those door handles!⚡️
12:22 "Orange you glad you bought the 30th anniversary edition" Best line in any Throttle House video ever
How did I not watch this a year ago? Love the ND1/2, but the NB is a great place to be. Love the NA and the popups. New or old... Depends on priorities and wrenching ability and desire.
Very cool! I recognize the roads that you guys filmed on. I've been driving those roads in my MR2 for the last 10 years. Would love to stumble upon you guys filming out there sometime. Great video by the way.
Thanks buddy! Give us a wave if you do
I'm really glad this video was on my recommended
I love my 1990 NA. Gutless on the hills, but a joy to drive. Been to Mexico with it. Fantastic drive.
Just picked up my first Miata, a Soul Red ND1 and I am in love. It's the best car I've ever owned or even driven.
that paint on the NA is absolutely stunning
Another thing that's really cool about the Miata is its fuel efficiency. It's one of few RWD sports cars that would also be economical to daily drive, which is quite rare.
I had fun watching this vid. Great job guys. Personally I’ve got an NB. 😊
For the first time in my life after watching this beautifully produced video I want a Miata.
The intro and seamen blue had me in tears, great vid TH... British Racing Green > Soul Red Crystal > Canary Yellow > Mariner/seamen blue > 30 AE Orange > all other stock ND2 colors
Did you miss the "morning glory" reference-? There are more uh, prizes in there. :o
The cars in the thumbnail looks like that extrovert laughing his ass off as his introvert friend awkwardly laughs with him
the other thing i think is worth mentioning is that now that means many more generations will have the opportunity to own and enjoy their own miata thats not too far off from the original and i think thats just awesome, cant wait to have my own some day
I will own this car soon. I can see myself driving countryside with this car. Amongst all other reviewers, you both are my favorite.
your guys produce better conten then those with 10 times your subscribers!!! keep up the good work!!
Really making me regret cancelling my spot on the anniversary edition wait list... That orange looks even better than the soul red of my 2016
I was going through old Throttle House videos and found this. I own an NA and a friend owns the 30th anniversary Edition. I absolutely would never trade mine for his.
Thumbs up for that intro alone, I love you guys :)
My wife sold her red '90 MX5 several yrs ago. Regretted it all this time. She recently bought a red '19 RF Grand Touring. Now, all that regret is gone. Would have gotten the 30th anniversary version if it weren't for the color. Thanks for the comparison. It's spot on.
I also sold mine and regretted it all these years! Bought another last summer and I'm sooooo happy!
I'm glad I watched this video. 😁 it tells me something very important, save money, keep our 97. which we absolutely LOVE 😊😊
Luv this!! I owned an NA in the late 90's...been pining for another ever since I sold it! This is the year! 😎😂🤣
Fair comparison. I'm keeping my stock NA until I die. Hopefully that's a while away … Just discovered the Momo steering wheel under the cover after 2 years ownership in ignorance. She just keeps on giving. Wonderful cars.
With the advancements in HIV medication, that might be a long time.
@@rodmunch69 Thanks for such a clear insight on your intellectual level.
@@MatthewJohnCrittenden God bless.
The intro is GREAT. Two guys about to take a ride in a Miata and one has actually promised his beard a ring!
Had a friend back in the day with a new NA she drove me around in. So much fun. I have test driven these in the past. A bit tight for my 5'11 frame, and more lean than I prefer. So an MR2-S got the nod. With mid- rear engine placement and at only 2,195 lbs. it just was sharper. And fit better. But if you fit in a Miata you can't go wrong. And you certainly can't go wrong watching any Throttle House videos!
I just love how genuinely happy both of them are driving the Miatas haha
I traded in a NB Miata for my forever-dream car a Porsche 911 997.1. Yes it's a better "car" in all metrics. But as a "fun toy", it just isn't as good as a Miata. If you don't care about performance and all you care about is "taking a drive to go nowhere" and go in back roads because just for the fun on connecting with your environment, an engine and 4 wheels, nothing - nothing beats a Miata for that. I know for a fact I will return to a Miata in a few years, as my kid grow older. It's just that good of smile generator. Buy a Miata if you care about having fun on the road. It's just that good.
100% true, I used to drive a nissan 300zx, went for a test drive in the new miata since they upped the power and I was BLOWNNN AWAY. Sweet talked the dealer into letting my drive alone, less than a week later I was driving a 30ae home - I found one the original buyer canceled because he couldn't fit into it
Brother, you sound exactly like 99.9% of the fanboys and what you say is the usual mantra, but its not real. Miata is not a good car, its a good Miata, full stop. There is no performance, no comfort and all the old rust boxes are falling apart and they are mainly owned by people who can not afford other cars. For me sports car is about emotions and about connection with the environment especially in a roadster. But Miata gives you zero emotions, from outside the looks are really a joke - no one ever said its a good looking car, thus so much aftermarket. From inside its uncomfortable, unspacious and its hard to find a good driving position inside. Bottom line Miata is oversized go cart, which is can be fun at certain moment and certain place but in general its useless as you really cant have a proper experience in it, you really cant go on a proper long road trip in Miata and experience the awesome backgrounds(if they are not behind your house) because sitting in this shitbox for longer than 5hours will just cripple you for rest of your life if you will start thinking about crashing in it than you are in a deep depression as there is no protection and crash in this little death trap means instant death. Last but not least you will not go for a proper road trip in Miata because you bought it mainly as you dont have cash for a better car, thus its a shitbox and you know it would brake somewhere. So as a go cart for driving around your house, yes, but thats gets old very quickly. I have recently start go for a longer road trips mainly to Alps and I have to tell you, thats the real car experience for me, 'living-driving' in the car for hours but yet not being crippled and enjoying it even on a straight road, driving fast on a highway, being able to see great sceneries and when you came across nice back road or maintain road being able to enjoy it. That's for me the ultimate driving experience for me and Miata is simply not made for this. Miata is a cheap quick fix, but not a real solution ;) Keep the Porsche brother, its a car, not a go kart ;)
@@Aluzcz complains about fanboys, behaves exactly like one... good job. Maybe you're just the miserable one here trying to make people who have fun miserable too eh?
This video was a love letter to the Miata and I loved every second of it. ❤️
ive owned Na for almost 20 yrs, so much fun, couple of drivetrain mods and one of only few body kits produced. love it. id have hard time justifying the extra cost for a new one, but if i already wouldbt have Na id go for Nd2
Not finished watching but I already know I want the NA Miata. Always did as a wee lad....and still do.
