What cars do you want to see us review this summer?

I'm 70 years old going on 30 just got a new 2022 snowflake white Gt loving it so far never to old but stay in shape tough getting in and out .

I watched countless hours of vids before picking up my 22 GT RF yesterday. Here I am, still watching vids. This car is so fun.

[Anamnesis]

I own this car (a Soul Red Club very similar to the one shown) and I cannot believe you climbed into the trunk and shut the lid. I would die of claustrophobia in seconds assuming I could even get in there. Well played. 🤣

Just purchased a Grand Touring black on black soft top manual. Absolutely stunned with how much I love this car. I DAILY THIS CAR TOO. It’s definitely a sacrifice but I love leaving work everyday. Priceless.

Also I went with the soft top because the RF felt more like a targa, which to me, didn’t give me enough of a convertible feel. Also no power top to give issues or extra weight. So much equipment too. Loaded car. LOVE IT.

Design wise, I actually think this model is near perfection. It’s aggressive and sporty but still classic to stand the test of time. Shoot, it still looks fresh to me. Only area I would redesign are those tail lights. They’ve just never felt tied into the rest of the design to me. Ya, the front air vents mirror the taillight shape but meh. I think my only real desire for the next iteration to come would be a touch more accommodation for us taller folk. At 6’2, I was excited to see someone like Doug DeMuro fit, being 6’4 but eh ya…his legs were jammed up to the steering wheel and I don’t think mine would fare too much better 😕

You can move the cup holder into that slot. It's not a phone holder. :)

Enjoyed your video. I am a new ND GT owner. I have a few comments for you. The GT spec does come with wireless Apple CarPlay, not sure about the version you were driving. The slot at the side that you tried to put your phone into is actually a slot for the moveable cupholders at your elbow. The passenger can simply pull one out and place it there if needed. The lightness in the seat you mentioned is true in that they are not fully upholstered and overly padded seats like in many cars. To save weight, Mazda created a sort of hammock-like webbing structure in the seats, so I think they're quite supportive, but super light. There is also a knob on the side of the seat that you can turn to raise the front of the seat. The steering is also fully adjustable, telescopic and up or down.

Love your energy while reviewing cars. Really good video also. Keep it up!👍

I’ve had a 2016 Miata club for a year now and I have to stay that it has made me life 10 times more enjoyable

“I am not gonna name the brand of the (sucky) tires…”
Five minutes later: “You get these fancy Bridgestone tires…”

[blurayffan]

Perfect summer car. Yes the info system is a little dated- who cares- the sound quality is excellent when I'm blasting tunes. It's all about the fun and driving experience and this car has it in spades. This design still looks fresh today years after it's introduction. Greetings from Alicante, Spain.

9:40 is an alternative spot for the right-side cupholder. Duh. Do some homework first! I am an owner BTW. There's extra storage behind each seat, pull the backrest forward and you'll see. Ideal for all the small stuff you want to have onboard, but won't need/use often. And that hatefull lane departure warning - just switch it off. The car remembers, so you won't need to switch it off every drive - like in a BMW (own experience).

[WoozieGuy]

This needs to be my first budget dream car because I never purchased and owned a car at all before so this car calls for me.

[Sabundy]

Mazda makes beautiful little sports cars

[Sideways_Singh]

The tires are perfect, they let u have fun and easily kick the tail out, with stickier tires it isnt as fun, I've tried it. The most fun car u can buy right now and the rf looks incredibly good with the bbs option, lowered with spacers, like a little exotic.

[diavimusic]

There's a tad more storage than it appears - there are storage compartments behind each seat as well. Nice for storing things that you want to have with you, but that you don't need to access quickly.

[emanuelferreira]

Phone holder? Its for the cup holder lol

[Ivo.m]

There is also some storage space behind both seats ☝️😃

The club trim does not have rain sensing wipers or auto high beams. I'm wondering what you meant by "not the new grill" at 5:45. It's called KPS, not torque vectoring. 11.9 gallons to be exact. Apple car play is wireless.
