I like the top comment but, If your considered to have and english car people will think you've got cash so we've taken your woman and we've left you at the starting line, US cars do have big powerful engines but they are designed to carry americans now 20,000 hp is now one horse. 39 of the cylinders contain refills of cola. 20 crackpipes ha that makes me laugh is it really for the foundation? and the flamethrower is a windproof lighter for the pipes.
@tokyocityrat i live in a country that's known for being cold, and it goes past 100°F in the summer. just goes to show that you can't judge a book by it's cover...
Trying not to sound like a typical utube pretend it all but here goes...I got to drive 2 rounds in the Lotus Cup (now Mini Cup) here in Australia (B grade that is - A grade raced Exiges) in a Elise for winning a state title in karting (did rubbish in the 2 rounds nothing came of it but had fun!). I now have a MX-5 NB and in my (not as founded as most people with track time) opinion the Elise is a better car. BUT it costs 4 times as much on the used car market, and it is not 4 time a better car!
@gnarkillkicksass If u look for mid-engine sports car look for Toyota mr-2 after 2000 - it has same engine as Lotus elise - toyota's 2zz-ge. Some parts are of course different, elise is supercharged, mr2 not, but u can get almost elise for good money. I had old mr2 and it was great car, but i would stay with mx-5 beacasue of its classic FR and it allows u to drift. Drifting in mid engine car is hard, but it gives lot of fun because its oversteering all the time.
@eszloeszlo The MR2 I've heard is a sweet machine, can't beat mid engine for hard core corner carving but I heard they have cooling issues and something like 20 litres of coolant to move from the front of the car to the back hence the pumps are often flat out. But either way I'd love to have a go at one.
& STAND UP TO THE ISRAEL/AMERICA PACT OVER PALESTINE!
Palestinians have to live on only 15% of regular supplies DUE TO THE ILLEGAL ISRAELI BLAOCKADE WHICH HAS STOOD FOR DECADES. Or are we just another U.S. lap dog state now?
This is actually very interesting simply because when Mazda was designing the Miata, they actually bought a few Lotus Elan's for "research & development". The similarities are very apparent between the two cars, despite being decades apart.
Holy shite, Brits have no shame. Every possible rationalization given to 'inferior' design as a purposeful fancy. Now watch him bash a 300SRT or Corvette as "rubbish", implying any American who would admire them for their honest quality as oafs. But the roundabout giving the British credit for a Japanese design is breathtaking.
I prefer German cars myself, but I think a good example of this hypocricy is how Jeremy says he hates every American car ever made... untill he sees a Ford GT. Then you need the combined strength of Richard and May to make him pull his *little john* out of the tailpipe.
@Engage777 The Japanese designers were given the brief to design a version of a British roadster and they took their cue DIRECTLY from the Lotus Elan! If you didn't know that then you shouldn't be commenting on sports cars.Jeremy's point was that the British originated the idea of the small, affordable well designed,fun roadster.WHICH THEY DID!!
@coolsdon Bullshit. I was commenting on the British psyche...it makes no fucking difference what the product is; the Brits, hailing their long-past colonial crimes will find a way to thread ownership into anything,everything in the world they wish. Right? Even S&M is a British idea.
PS. Your crush on "Jeremy" is embarrassing for you.
@Engage777 No you weren't commenting on the British psyhce at all,you were making the point that Jeremy Clarkson was stating an untruth about the history behind the MX5 which I succintly put you right on.As with every other, not very bright yank, you don't have the grace to acknowledge when you're in the wrong.Would it be that Jags, Astons,Minis,LandroversRange Rovers,Bentleys,Lotus' Rolls etc sell around the world when NO ONE buys US cars other than,well,Americans? It's that 'J' word ain't it?
@coolsdon Read the copy, dolt: "Holy shite, Brits have no shame" was my FIRST comment. Can you fathom that my analysis results from numerous, like observations about conceited British?

@Engage777 What an astonishing thing for an American to say. I was on the Glenn Beck website the other day (can't help it, it's a kind of rubbernecking) and he claimed Americans invented the computer, the light bulb, the motion picture, tv, electricity and the car. It's all lies. They actually invented none of them. They were all invented by Europeans, most of them by British people. Look them up on wikipedia. Now that *was* invented by an American.
@Engage777 - It is so obvious you have just looked for something with British in the title on the BBC so you slag of Britain. I can not think how you could be a more obvious troll. If you watch American TV they are going to big up America and I am sure the same is true everywhere in the world - what is wrong with that? I would also add that Britain has 60 million people holding every ethnicity, life style and ideology you can image so to group them all together is just infantile.
@WillShakespeare2007 Fuck off. Your empire is dead, your culture is dead, and 60 million Brits are just walking dead waiting for their grandkids to serve tea to their Pakistani overlords in two generations. You know it. I know it, and everyone on the planet knows it.

Looks like the Miata's a tried and true simple formula, but I'm a bit surprised Clarkson wasn't asking for more power while driving it. When Jaguar gave him an XKR with "only" 420hp, he said he's wished it had more....I guess faster isn't always better in clarkson's book....
Clarkson is funny to the max! Sure broke out of the British TV host mold, him. I just wish he could see past America's problems, and just shut up about us. Or is that a facade? :P
I love British Supercars and Sportcars!!! Mini, Mclaren, Aston, Jag, Bentley, Noble, Rolls-Royce, Lotus, Caterham, Healey, Ginetta, Ford (British), Ariel, Land Rover, Mg, Quaife, Triumph, Austin, Morris, AC, Ascari, Vauxhall, Caparo, Westfield, Daimler, De Lorean, Radical... The list goes like for ever!!!
the best british sports car its a japonese car that just says it all about british sports cars lolololol funny how british teach japoneses to make cars and then they do it so much better than british lololol
@MrCheeseface1000 go drive your british sport car with a gear box from a truck and engines that past 5 years are "dead" of power i bet all british sports cars owners have a mechanic friend lolol
I'm sick of republican ads, make you lose 10 IQ points every time you see one. Eventually, then, you'll become one yoursefl. Perhaps that's their grand master plan...
No car tells your sexual status. If you want a car with "balls" become a big obnoxious American.. and move to... Texas... and buy a Dodge Ram. A Miata would probably beat it.
It does not need an electric roof, it would only add weight. The tops on those are so well designed it takes almost no effort to reach behind you at a stop light and put the top up. Of course unlike the British equivalent, they did not leak, they did not have Lucas electricals, so they did not catch on fire and no British Leyland involvement (or lack there of).

@HD2009Muscle He's not saying it's a British car you fool! Listen to what he says. The formula of which the car is made is very much British in the way Britain made sports-cars!
@Zenkchi99 Watch your tongue kid. All people know that Clarkson is biased and he thinks everyting good in the world is British, but since you're Britsh too I can't argue. I like topgear, but I half the things they say is BS. use your own head "fool" and learn to think for yourself.
@HD2009Muscle Clarkson was actually onto a good point with his comment about the Miata being "British". You should read my comment for a brief explanation.
the only problem is that you can't think of a good 20th century british sports cars triumph stag marcos aston martin db5 lotus elan mg/rover Jensen heally tvr the hatcback killed the british sports car thumbs up if you want some millionares to buy back the british car manufacteur and make them in britain
@knowsall101 no i am 6 foot 3 inches so i cannot even begin to try to fit that little thing,they do have alot of power for their size but reguardless of that kinda gay.I will stick with my r33...
It isn't... but it's based on one and Mazda has never hidden the fact, that the MX-5 from the start was supposed to be Japanese version of the classic Lotus Elan.
The MX-5 is the quintessential sports car. HOWEVER,and this may be just an American phenomena... its gay. Not in a pejorative fashion as in "that bad tv show is SO ghey". No, I mean that a disproportionate amount of gay people own one. Again, might be U.S. thing. Here, few heterosexual men seem to want one, despite it's refined and sporty ride. Women and gay men though LOVE them though. Just an observation on my part, no offense to the gay community.
@trancedsailor As I said, a few straight men do want one. Autophiles know it to be a timeless roadster. My point is that, for reasons I myself can not fathom, the majority of men I see driving one also have a rainbow or Lambda bumper sticker on the vehicle. I reiterate this is not any kind reflection on anyone's lifestyle, it is merely an observation on my part. In fact, if someone would like to explain to me why this is, I'd be happy to listen.
really??? thats such a shame. I feel bad for all the people who care too much, because they are seriously missing out on the great fun this car has to offer for such a reasonable price.
I know mazda is trying really hard to make this car to appeal to more masculine customers and you can tell by the newer generations and facelifts of this car. I'm sure one day it'll eventually appeal to you, and hopefully they'll still keep it's original recipe.
Guys out here consider their cars an extension of their masculinity. They dont want a fast, light, finely crafted little beeper. Guys want something big, heavy, scary, and loud so they can both attract mates and scare off rival males. They want a 20,000 hp 40 cylinder engine in an M1 Abrams with 20 pipes that shoot fire so far out the back it torches cars behind it and noise that cracks every foundation in a 3mi radius complete with the working cannon that's also a flame thrower.
@bewaver Yes, there would be a small set for holding the 66oz super glug mtn. dew made to change a healthy person into a morbidly obese diabetic after one cup. and a set of 2 large freon cooled brackets in the back for holding beer kegs. Of course Abrams would say they're only for "transporting" and that they are not responsible if drivers/passengers decide to have a drink while on the road.
@lnwswollow Actually, I never liked those 4cyl bumblebees or those lumbering bare big block elephants called "muscle cars". I want something that uses a large engine built for racing in a car that can actually go around corners and has a sleek and sophisticated look. I My ideal would be a twin turbo Mercedes SL600 or the new Audi R8. And fire comes out the pipes when the engine is hot and very rich.
@MrStig691 Let me make something clear: Yes, that is what Americans want, except for me. Weight is not conducive to speed. I think a fine example of how to make a fast car can be seen in the Bristol fighter T. My car is a Nissan Z32, my dream car is a Gumpert Apollo Race, and I bet a Miata roadster would be a fun little thing to zip around in. I hate big lumbering "muscle" cars. that run away with their skirts held high at the sight of a turn like a teenage girl at the sight of a mouse.
@MrStig691 Although, honestly, if I had that much money I would'nt get either of those cars. I would build myself a DR 107 "One Design" and fit it with a 200+hp Lycoming TIO360 engine and an automatic prop. Not even a veyron would get close to what that can do.
@Losi52 Although Ford is American, the GT40 project is British. if you don't believe me, check wikipedia and search for the GT40, then read the history section.
Not hating, that's not me. I'm just stating facts about a lot of people in this country. Nobody brings up Bmw's and benz' crappy reliability but people always harp on american car's interiors? There are many well engineered cars that get imported to this country. How much of that is actually used? I've been to europe when I was in the military so I go by what i've seen.
btw-when i said shitty econoboxes, I was talking about ALL econoboxes, not just europe's. There great for the city and necessary today, but I can't stand them!
@42ph, a fool of myself? ru serious captain planet? The fact is, their reality is not ours. This country cannot run on little boxes you can barely carry luggage in. It's so funny when these conversations come up, people bring up european cars that only a few can afford. Sure, they are great cars, but many are niche cars. As far as design goes, I think our interiors are way behind but our exteriors have been pretty good.
The best selling car in the USA for the last 10 years is Japnese, 2nd best? Also Japanese... And as for European cars, America buys more German and Italian cars than Germany or Italy do! However no one in Europe or Japan buys American cars. Figure that one out...
Also don't confuse Jeremy Clarkson with everyone in Britain (a common US mistake), the MX5 is well known as a hairdressers car. And finally some trivia for you, this clip is 10 years old.
@ImHereToAnnoyYou Actually, I do get it. 1)How many american cars actually go overseas because of these trade laws?. Not many. 2) Americans buy german and italian cars because of the brand name, just like everything else. 3) as far as best selling cars, there's no accounting for taste!!!LOL. I guess they like crappy styling and sticking gas pedals!!LOL
1) American laws are far more strict about importing cars into the US, many things must be changed like additional indicators front and rear etc. It's not the other way round. Almost every US car launched here doesn't sell.
2) Americans buy European cars because they like them, there is no trickery involved. They test both and choose for themselves.
3) Taste is subjective of course, but good engineering? not so much...
4) Don't hate on an entire continent, it'll only make you bitter!
sooo... The best british sports car is made in japan. I wouldn't brag about that. Do the british make sports cars for the common man any more? It's so funny when these guys dog out American cars (and others) when the brits make shit for cars. All there favorites are from germany and italy. Has anyone been to europe? Most of the population drives shitty econoboxes.
The main reason why most american car companies have major financial and economical reasons is because they are out of touch with any modern car design trend for the last 20 or so years.
Thost "econoboxes" you are taling about drive better and more ecologically - thats GOOD.
Don't get me wrong, I lived in Detroit and hugely enjoyed driving cadillacs, chevys and jeeps (oh yeah) - but dont go on about european cars being shitty ...
how can jeremy fit in an mx 5 im 6 foot 3 and 17 so pretty nimble and i have to play tetris to get in

It does not need an electric roof, it would only add weight. The tops on those are so well designed it takes almost no effort to reach behind you at a stop light and put the top up. Of course unlike the British equivalent, they did not leak, they did not have Lucas electricals, so they did not catch on fire and no British Leyland involvement (or lack there of).

The MX-5 is the quintessential sports car. HOWEVER,and this may be just an American phenomena... its gay. Not in a pejorative fashion as in "that bad tv show is SO ghey". No, I mean that a disproportionate amount of gay people own one. Again, might be U.S. thing. Here, few heterosexual men seem to want one, despite it's refined and sporty ride. Women and gay men though LOVE them though. Just an observation on my part, no offense to the gay community.

I reiterate this is not any kind reflection on anyone's lifestyle, it is merely an observation on my part. In fact, if someone would like to explain to me why this is, I'd be happy to listen.

I know mazda is trying really hard to make this car to appeal to more masculine customers and you can tell by the newer generations and facelifts of this car. I'm sure one day it'll eventually appeal to you, and hopefully they'll still keep it's original recipe.

Guys out here consider their cars an extension of their masculinity. They dont want a fast, light, finely crafted little beeper. Guys want something big, heavy, scary, and loud so they can both attract mates and scare off rival males. They want a 20,000 hp 40 cylinder engine in an M1 Abrams with 20 pipes that shoot fire so far out the back it torches cars behind it and noise that cracks every foundation in a 3mi radius complete with the working cannon that's also a flame thrower.

@MrStig691 Let me make something clear: Yes, that is what Americans want, except for me. Weight is not conducive to speed. I think a fine example of how to make a fast car can be seen in the Bristol fighter T. My car is a Nissan Z32, my dream car is a Gumpert Apollo Race, and I bet a Miata roadster would be a fun little thing to zip around in. I hate big lumbering "muscle" cars. that run away with their skirts held high at the sight of a turn like a teenage girl at the sight of a mouse.

Not hating, that's not me. I'm just stating facts about a lot of people in this country. Nobody brings up Bmw's and benz' crappy reliability but people always harp on american car's interiors? There are many well engineered cars that get imported to this country. How much of that is actually used? I've been to europe when I was in the military so I go by what i've seen.

donnis618 2 years ago
@42ph, a fool of myself? ru serious captain planet? The fact is, their reality is not ours. This country cannot run on little boxes you can barely carry luggage in. It's so funny when these conversations come up, people bring up european cars that only a few can afford. Sure, they are great cars, but many are niche cars. As far as design goes, I think our interiors are way behind but our exteriors have been pretty good.
donnis618 2 years ago
@donnis618
haha, you just don't get it.
The best selling car in the USA for the last 10 years is Japnese, 2nd best? Also Japanese... And as for European cars, America buys more German and Italian cars than Germany or Italy do! However no one in Europe or Japan buys American cars. Figure that one out...
Also don't confuse Jeremy Clarkson with everyone in Britain (a common US mistake), the MX5 is well known as a hairdressers car. And finally some trivia for you, this clip is 10 years old.
ImHereToAnnoyYou 2 years ago
@ImHereToAnnoyYou Actually, I do get it. 1)How many american cars actually go overseas because of these trade laws?. Not many. 2) Americans buy german and italian cars because of the brand name, just like everything else. 3) as far as best selling cars, there's no accounting for taste!!!LOL. I guess they like crappy styling and sticking gas pedals!!LOL
donnis618 2 years ago
1) American laws are far more strict about importing cars into the US, many things must be changed like additional indicators front and rear etc. It's not the other way round. Almost every US car launched here doesn't sell.
2) Americans buy European cars because they like them, there is no trickery involved. They test both and choose for themselves.
3) Taste is subjective of course, but good engineering? not so much...
4) Don't hate on an entire continent, it'll only make you bitter!
ImHereToAnnoyYou 2 years ago
sooo... The best british sports car is made in japan. I wouldn't brag about that. Do the british make sports cars for the common man any more? It's so funny when these guys dog out American cars (and others) when the brits make shit for cars. All there favorites are from germany and italy. Has anyone been to europe? Most of the population drives shitty econoboxes.
donnis618 2 years ago
The main reason why most american car companies have major financial and economical reasons is because they are out of touch with any modern car design trend for the last 20 or so years.
Thost "econoboxes" you are taling about drive better and more ecologically - thats GOOD.
Don't get me wrong, I lived in Detroit and hugely enjoyed driving cadillacs, chevys and jeeps (oh yeah) - but dont go on about european cars being shitty ...
dont make a fool of yourself!
