I've owned one for 2 years now, and i absolutely love it. I commute to work every day on a curvy road and there is no better car than this for it, you come to work more happy automatically because it's such a joy to drive. It's the perfect first car for young people who don't need more space!

I love my NB2 Miata.
It is my first car and even still have it.
I'm 5'9" and fit perfectly on my Miata.
They are so much fun.
Im planning to keep mine forever.

The NB – hands down – has the most sensual design language.

I had a silver NB and remember thinking it had a lot of similarities to the Jaguar XK8.

The NA is adorable, the NC is a puffy (but still cute) thing, and the ND’s face is the closest car I’ve ever seen that looks like Smudge the Cat.

The tail of the ND is cool but – and I agree – the face is definitely too aggressive for a Miata.

Also, the ND should have full LED lighting.

Keep up the great work! 🙌

Literally pretty much bought this exact car today..I'm 5'6 but other than that everything you described driving it, I was feeling. it felt so good to feel everything. It was like sensory magic. Im in love with it already. One thing I'll say is this is the best clutch I've ever felt in my life period. Mine has a bigger ducktail that looks oem? Not sure what's up there. It looks awesome tho.

@4:02 Thanks! Now I can't unsee it too. I can't believe I've never noticed that before.

Since high school me and my friend have owned 4 miatas. Back then they were great for us because they were even cheaper than what you see today. We kept motors and good parts and basically have a small miata club at this point. These cars are so good at doing anything you want. Keep it stock and enjoy it plenty or you can build it up and the car handles the extra power very nicely. On reliability, my friend’s NA once had a really bad misfire issue, had no choice but to limp the car a few miles to the mechanic, and found out the car was running on just 2 little cylinders and still wouldn’t let him down. It has since been fixed and the motor is still healthy, unless she’s bleeding out the miata wont ever let you down.

I have this exact NB! 2003 SE, I love it

The photo at 1:37 shows two NB1’s. They did have an option for foglights.

got my drivers license a little more than 2 years ago, bought an nb and been more than happy with it ever since! i just love it and i wouldn't want to give it away anymore

I am on my fifth Miata now and agree NB2 is the best looker. smooth lines and just enough character frontend. interior is also classy designed. like to see next gen with similar design language with latest skyactive 2.0 and bring back the glovebox and I will be in line for my sixth Miata.

I've had 2 NAs and an NB. I made my own redesign of the front and rear bumper covers and console. I would still be driving my modded '90 today but some psycho torched it. Looking for another.

The NB reminds me more of the Italian roadsters. It has a cute little boat tail like the Fiat Spider. The NA bears a clear resemblance to the Lotus Elan. I have an ND and I love the raised fenders which makes it seem like a vintage Ferrari.

I’ve kept my NBFL 100% OEM since I drove it off the showroom floor here in Australia in 2003. It was the absolute perfect for me in 2003, and it still is some 21 years later.

Just bought mine with 37000 miles for £2000 and am extremely happy with it! I can't believe more people don't have these cars, they are an absolute dream to drive

[BlakeMcCringleberry]

The ND is such a huge improvement in this lineage, but I hope the next one is, like you said, a little bit happier.

[RoxanneBarbelo]

I love the organic connection I get from the NB. I bought a 2002 Special Edition a little over a year ago for daily use and I like it more than my project car (89 Ford Sierra Xr4ti). It's like playing Mario Kart every time I drive it. It is one of the slowest cars I've owned but I don't mind because it is just so exciting to drive the lack of horsepower doesn't matter much. It is enjoyable and very satisfying in its stock form but gives you a great platform to modify and is capable of doing so much more than being just a simple roadster.

I am the caretaker of a 1999 Miata NB1. The body cladding was available on the NB1. Was part of the Leather Package. I am the Caretaker. The car was purchased new by my Mother. She was 78 years old. This car was her identity.

6'0" ND2 owner here. Fit-wise, you might try angling the seatback more upright while (possibly) sliding the seat further back. Looks like the seatback is too relaxed, judging by the air gap behind your head.

Awesome video. Say hi to Aurora for me.

I have a 2001 6 speed NB with hard s suspension. I’m a car guy who has 3 wildly different sports cars. One is a turbo sedan and the other supercharged V8 coupe and are newer. The Miata is by far my favorite one to drive if I just want driving bliss.

[fboness]

The guy who did the styling on the NB, also did the styling of the Dodge Viper. You can see the subtle similarities.
