$40,000 Mazda MX-5 vs $5,000 MX-5 // 30th Anniversary Meets NA Miata

Do you buy a New 2019 30th Anniversary Miata? Or do you buy a really used one? This is the question we hope to answer today when we spend some time in Mazda Canada's heritage 1990 NA and compare it to the special edition 30th Anniversary ND!

“Except it would be built in Japan so it would actually work.” Gold.

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!

[zerixor]

Miatas looks so happy, just like anyone who drives them they have a smile on their face

[FallenArtemie]

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

Every time I see a Miata it reminds me of the scene where the two Miatas flashed Lightning McQueen in Cars

It's probably the most rear play I'll get this year 7:05












Nice

I went from muscle cars to fwd civics (ctr) to wrx's & now I drive a NB miata.. Funest car I've driven.

[drewcummings]

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!

[JBoulter]

The paint on the na miata here is literally amazing 10/10 bring back that color, Mazda.

[Post_Leako]

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.

"New phone who dis" was the best punchline ever!

[pshhyeahh]

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.

Perfectly balanced. As all things should be

[ramandiezo]

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 !

[alexturnqest]

The music is perfect.😂😂late 80's early 90's vibes af!💯

[frvits]

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.

[Vapid_Idiot]

I've owned 3 miatas. Currently in an e39 BMW 540i. Now I'm debating selling it and buying another Miata.


THANKS GUYS.

[dil]

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.

[ZZZRaven]

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
