Bought an ND in 2018 as my "fun" car, ended up selling my daily and using my Miata for everything. 178k miles later... not a single time it let me down. I've ben flogging this car for the past 6 years, including track days few times a year, and absolutely 0 issues. I even do my own maintenance now since it's so easy to work in this thing. Highly recommend.

Central console is also different - with leather stitching. It was hard plastic in previous NDs.
You can see it at 4:00

You said automatic but I think it i because in nearly all your videos, you are showing a vehicle with an automatic. It is so routine, that you said it in this video. An easy mistake most people would make. Great videos, I like them all

The more I look into the Miata, the more I like it. With this car, it's like a Porsche, it's all about "Smiles per Mile"!!

You said it was a 6 speed automatic but I see a manual transmission😮

I drive a MX 5 RD from 2022 since almost two years now and I did not regret it one single day. I love this car. 🫶🙂

After trying the ND2 I traded my GR86 for ND3, it's just more fun on the street😍

I challenge anyone to name a competitor to this car in the same price bracket. Real fuel real manual with three pedals real analog gauges real hand brake real fuel real original roadster concept platform. 😊

Whoo... More gray for the mostly grayscale lineup.

[LostStylus]

oh my, why did they have to change the keyfob from nd2 :(( it was perfect

[enriquevaldeza]

Owning a Miata doesn´t mean you sacrifice storage or passengers... you compromise. 😉

I have the 2023 and everything is the same except the headlights and brake lights are the same shape but blinks differently.. ...Jealous of the lights I have a manual also but my top has the black color

I still remember when Turbo Look 911's were $38K, new off the lot.

Does the 2024 RF model come in 1.5 litre?

[hertzair]

Play this at .75 speed and it will be comprehensible

[davidcarroll]

Where's the ignition stop button?

[kevinc.]

The buffeting at highway speeds is unbearable.

Disappointed that Ben didn't cover any difference/changes for thr ND3. Tell me more about the new LSD, adaptive cruise, new infotainment, etc...

[DarkstarDarth]

I get asked about my ND1 grand touring more in one month than 20yrs of driving german sports cars, just amazing fun.

Honestly the new wheels don't look great. I wish they would have kept the same wheels as before.
