  • ive never driven an mx5. but i want to own one. thats because this is the only review ive EVER come across which says something negative about its driving and handling! o dear...

  • this is the 3rd gen you cunt!!!!!

  • wow this is the shitiest car reviewer i have ever seen he knows nothing about cars and probably watched top gear and copied the one and only jeremy clarkson well what do you expect from a channel named "4 car" this guy will never be good as clarkson oh and nice shirt barney lol. i have found a great review on youtube just search:carbuyer mazda mx5. very informative video. btw its carbuyer not car buyer.

  • another guy trying to be Jeremy Clarkson. BE ORIGINAL.

  • The MX5 raison d`etre are its low limits balanced behaviour as well as its directness and agility to enable a driver to safely explore those limits. Thats why an MX5 at 60-80Km/h on a tight winding road is a whole lotta fun. At those speeds in a 911, Impreza or Z you will be bored. Of course at illegal speeds say 120-140km/h the latter come into their own and the MX5's shortcomings become obvious. With the state of traffic and speed limits youll always have more opportunities for fun in the MX5.

  • If you look at the instrument panel shot at 3:30, the tachometer is at 2,000 RPM and the speedometer is at... 0 MPH! (Or 0 KPH). Is that a parked shot, with the engine revved up, edited in, or does the new car have a defective speedometer??!!

  • who is this idiot? he knows that he knows nothing!!

  • "the old car felt quite heavy"

    except for the fact that it was one of the lightest cars ever produced.

  • How can it have an 'amazing chassis' but be vague? what a retard,get a real job and leave the road tests to clarkson:P

  • yup - he's an arse (not an ass unless you think he's a donkey)

    Manual (mk1) vs Auto(mk3.5).... yeah ... obvious comparison.... NOT>

    Btw, chappie, have you won Wimbledon yet?.... ;)

  • I laughed my way through the first few minutes of this video then realised this guy was being serious. What a useless review!! Where on earth did you find that auto mx5 and how can you possibly justify comparing it to a manual of 20 years ago? Holy cow, idiots and their webcams.

    You're shit and you know you are :)

  • A beard long hair a purple and green shirt some beat ass nikes and jeans. Damn you guys over there don't have any style and you don't know a good car when you see it

  • what a num nut. if the mx5 was so 'num' and 'vague' please tell me how it changed the game for small roadsters.and became the biggest selling ever. as it wasn't its 0/60 times or top speed.

  • dude......fuck u........yea i like the 1990s better but ur dumb

  • Numb steering? It is a manual rack, that's the most feedback you can get.

  • What a chode.

  • oh my god HE IS SUCH AN ASS*OLE !! HE DOESNT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT CARS HE'S SUCH A LOSER !! THE MX5 IS THE GREATEST ROADSTER OF ALL TIMES !! OMG !! WHAT THE HELL IS HE'S SAYING !!

    HES SUCH AN IDIOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTTTT !!

  • This moron talks about the chassis and thats it.

  • I had a NB, now i own a NC. this guy is an idiot

  • This is a horrible reviewer. Why are you comparing the original with a NC auto....

  • As a driver of both Mk1 and Mk2 MX-5, I can only say that this review is retarded...

  • a Mk1 MX-5 having vague steering feel - flat tyres? or is this guy just a mad Cun(i)t

  • This guy is a moron, for a start the MX5 has always been available with an automatic option, why not test the manual, i don't find my NA model lacks feel, i've owned the NA and NB models and driven the NC, it's horses for courses but the NA is the purest of them all, more a roadster in the true 60s spirit, which was what Mazda were after in the first place.

  • Channel 4 needs to fire this prick, he just seems to annoy me and his opinions are so fucking random.

  • y ur parents buy automatic? and y u no upgrade your stock 95 pos? lol

  • Who is this guy?

    You are sooo gay.

    From Cyprus with love

  • Well... Listening to this guy... I'm not sure what a "Mahzda" is, or a "Honder S2000"...

  • @MrGingerade he's british/english.... saying they dont speak english correctly would be ignorant, considering they kinda invented the language.

  • The old one has a dent in the door.

  • This guy sucks. Manual's are always better for a roadster. My dad just baught a Mazda Miata MX5 2008 today, and it's a Manual. It's a manual because he know's manuals faster, and add's alot of personality to the car.

  • what a fuckin idiot. comparing an auto to a manual?! absolute stroker.

  • This guy is fucking retarted its a really nice car He does not know anything

  • This guy is too much of a douche to drive that blue beauty

  • 24 000th view :-) This guy is very strange - both cars are excellent roadsters

  • The sttering is nnumb and vague...guessing he doesn't drive a RWD often, think hes confusing the power going through the wheels for steering feel

  • "FUCKIN IDIOT"

  • This guy is an idiot.

  • Why would you say Mazda ruined the MX5? They turned it from a girly little car to something sexy, bigger and still maintains the same wonderful handling and reliability. Who cares if they introduced an automatic, the automatic is still hella fun to drive.

  • dude your a fucking retard, get the fuck out of here

  • If he says they've lost the plot with the auto he's forgetting that the mx5 eunos na was available with a auto in japan

  • Geez, my grandma's 1988 camry (manual) is probably more fun to drive than any auto. How can you compare an auto and a manual?

  • JezenThomas. This guy isn't an idiot, he's a f-----g retard. I was driving an MX5 before before this moron had pubic hair.

    T.R.I.B

  • All new mazdas looks like they are smiling

  • At 1:21 he is breaking the law by driving with his windscreen wipers on without turning on the headlights. And he thought I wouldn't notice!

  • god this guys an idiot, even though i agree the older is better. I would take my 97 na over the nc any day. plus what the heck is 3.5 generation? The nc is the 3rd gen of miata, there is no nd yet

  • dumbass

  • The mx-5 is a legend, that guy is not and never will be ...

  • haters gonna hate - this video is spot on - the guy is right the old miata is better - too bad so many 'car enthusiasts' today are just fan-boys... just liking what they own 'becasue'... I love the miata - I test drove a new one and said no thanks - feels like a garbage truck compared to the old NA

  • Completely idiotic moron. The one problem with Youtube is that it gives any uneducated idiot a voice and lets them pretend to be an expert just because they can speak to a camera and drive a car. Comments like numb and vague steering proves that this person is either on novocaine or is trying to get more hits by being provocative. However he contradicted himself when he said that he had car could be steered by throttle. This is can't be done with vague steering.

  • @salmannazirshami Well, I guess he should apologize to have a different opinion of everyone... Just so you know, Chris Harris, who is a well known and respected car tester don't like the MX5 at all.

  • @Duron13 Everyone has a right to their opinion, however these people are claiming to be journalists. Part of a journalist code of ethics is to seperate opinion from fact. What these guys are trying to do is blatantly transparent. They are trying to gain fame/notoriety by being controversial for the sake of it. If there was any truth to it they would be celebrated. The reality is that their comments are stupid in the extreme such as when they claim that the MX5 steering is not precise.

  • @Duron13 The so called journalist Chris Harris is the same. He is trying to be a Jeremy Clarkson by using hyperbole and exaggeration. The truth is that even Jeremy Clarkson is more an entertainer than a real journalist but at least he is consistent and does do some objective testing. Also he is the original not a wannabe.

  • @salmannazirshami Or maybe, just maybe, he has his own opinion since he don't have to agree to everybody just because people like the MX5.

    And Clarkson while being a good entertainer -also I think he made his time- is by far the less consistent person I've ever see.

    He can tell you X car is awesome and some times later explain to you why it's a piece of shit. So, no, he's not a journalist, let alone a good one.

  • @Duron13 He is welcome to his opinion and to publicly express it as you and I are. In fact I'll go as far to say that people like that make the world more interesting.. My point was journalists should attempt to be objective and factual and need to be honest about what is a personal bias and opinion. As consumers of any media we need to be a bit more demanding even of Youtube videos. BTW, I agree Clarkson is more clown than journalist.

  • Completely idiotic moron. The one problem with Youtube is that it gives any uneducated idiot a voice and lets them pretend to be an expert just because they can speak to a camera and drive a car.

  • "instead of calling it the fourth generation" ...it is the 3rd generation idiot

  • But he is the biggest twat ever

  • Sorry mate !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hope this clueless idiot doesn't do car reviews anymore.

  • numb and vague? Is this guy high and not paying attention?

    I'm sorry I'm a road tester too and have driven both cars back to back, they offer very nearly the same level of feedback.

    Has this guy considered that the NA MX5 runs on 60-profile tyres on those original rims whereas the NC runs on 45-profile?

  • gay.

    

  • Hope this guy gets cancer

  • @MrRaggamuffinrambo dont ever wish that on anyone buddy thats not cool no matter how much of a kunt they are

  • Whey test the automatic -- a Miata must be driven with a manny tranny.

  • just be thankful that they offer a manual, sadly they are disappearing.

  • What an idiot!!

    He talked about "4th generation" - which he wouldn't say ...

    Erm ... it IS NOT the 4th generation - it's just a facelift of the 3rd gen.

    And by the way: You can order it also with manual transmission - and it's still a GREAT CAR!

  • This guy is fucking fucking idiot..you better shut the fuck up!!!!

  • what an idiot. Why would you bother testing an AUTOMATIC! and then compare them.

  • @Folks that said no feel in the steering...uhhh yup, pretty much. My NC's steering is the tightest, most responsive, and gives the most feedback of any car I've ever driven that cost <$30,000USD.

  • what the hell is with the barney shirt?

    oh, and he has no idea of what he's talking about : )

  • NO FEEL IN THE STEERING OF AN NA MIATA!!!????!!!

  • hmm automatics were available on the NB also..

    Or did you forget that it went NA, NB then NC.. Not NA to NC

  • This person is a total moron. From his comments he obviously does not know anything about steering wheel feel. The words numb and vague do not apply to the MX-5 steering. I am afraid this is all about shock tactics to get people to react to this. Its about hits not about credibility.

  • this guy is an asshole!!

  • what were they thiking using this guy, blimey.....dull or what.

    An auto is great in anything as some people just want to drive not thrash their way through the streets or where ever.

  • sure he is doing drugs, look at his face. idiot!!!

  • wtf wanker this guy sucks penis

  • why is he reviewing an auto anyways? Does anyone buy the auto anyways?

  • @minibus1351 women

  • what a dick 

  • the only way they ruined it is by adding that stupid smiling grill. this is the best yet.

  • this guy is a retard....who the hell gave him a JOB to review cars..less grip then a modern car????

  • @brutabuss Hahaha I agree! It actually pissed me off a little since I have a 1990 NA6 Mx5.... I've driven quite a few mx5's and I can honestly say this guy is talking crap. I do agree the auto is a bit unnecessary given it's a sports car, but the lack of grip in corners... lol

  • Old Miata hands down.. the reason for me to dislike the new one.. It is more refined, its quieter, it has more trunk space,it has more cheap plastic in the interior, It has unfortunate (smiley face Mazda) styling, it doesn't have folding headlights, it has a folding hardtop. To me less is more.

    But don't get me wrong I still love the new ones... I just wouldn't buy one with any options or Egad! an AUTOMATIC! at that point I would rather walk !

  • I have a 2009 MX- 5 and this guy offends me! ha

  • @celica6000 I have a 1990 and this guy offends me!!

  • If you hate the car so much, why are you reviewing it?

    You are the ONLY critic that does not like the Miata/MX 5. Even Top Gear, who is arguably the hardest of critics loves this car.

  • What a retard...

  • he also said the NA is all original but the steering wheel is aftermarket......... dont know how many of you noticed this.

  • Vicky butler also prefear the old one youtube.com/watch?v=d7WflvYSO1­A&feature=related

  • @ma6netho you do know thats the steering wheel that euro cars came with right?

  • Ive not driven an MX5 but ive heard nothing but postive comments about the old MX5 except from him

  • I have driven both the NC is good for freeway cruising the NA is better for fun/racing.

  • The only NUMB and Vague one here mate is YOU...

    HOW can you HONESTLY compare an AUTO to a MANUAL??...

    Compare a NC Manual to your NA Manual...I know which one is the better car..

    BTW..The NC is still the 3RD Generation, Only the British call it a 3.5.

    The ND 4th (4.0) Generation will be coming in 2013.

  • I have a 1990 MX5. I can say from an educated perspective that this guy is a fuckin' idiot.

  • @JezenThomas stop cussing do you own a miata have you driven both or just shooting off your ignorant mouth!!

  • He actually found fault with the steering in the 1st gen car? Is he fucking serious?

  • He only liked the old car and said it was "more fun" bcuz it's a old worthless peice of shit compare to the new one.. he talks from his ass and not from his brain.. Usually, the older it is the more fun it is fucking it up.. I clearly say the new one is better

  • @Demineralize And I would imagine that your Granny's 87 Buick Skylark looks pretty good to you about now :-P

    Loving the new one and hating the old one.. I really don't get it! ....the cars are very similar!

    You also have to give Mazda credit for building the first one the way they did or there wouldn't be a 3rd generation! Sorry but as far as I am concerned ,"I like the new one......I love the old one!"

  • @ignatzRat No sorry my friend I have a Audi S6 Bi Turbo with the LED headlights.. Got it for my 18th birthday... That's a down payment on your house & your girlfriend my friend.. :3

  • @Demineralize Personality lessons would have been a better gift for your 18th birthday...I or maybe Mom and Dad thought that was a waste of cash!

  • @ignatzRat Hey.. Bro I am going way faster than you.. So won't you and your fucking toy car Mazda go fuck yourselfs.. lol.. And sing: HOT WHEELS!! LEEAD THE WAY!! Lmfao!!

  • @Demineralize Yawn!

  • I respect the opinion of this mans review. Each individual defines "fun" in a different way. I owned a Generation 2 Miata for two years. Just recently purchased a 2010 GT with hard top. To me it's more fun. It's more refined, it's more powerful. It's "MORE" without losing what's made the miata so successful in all these years.

    To each his own, I suppose.

  • I dont think he said "ruined", I think he said Renew It.

  • as long as they stiff offer it in tru manual then who gives a fuck.

  • Grow up 4car, take out the power steering for a direct steering. And this car IS the definition of roadster, if you don't like the original, then you don't like Roadsters.

  • Mazda have "Ruined the MX-5" with an Automatic Transmission, well my friend it is an OPTION, NOT STANDARD. Mazda did this to appease those who want an MX-5 but want an Auto...NOTHING more and Nothing less.

    And PLEASE while the MKI NA MX-5 was...I repeat WAS, a fabulous Roadster there it finishes, because the latest NC MKII is Light Years ahead of the first MX-5 particularly in SAFETY and Equipment, this is the best MX-5 made.

  • So how do you improve steering feel on mk1 MX-5's? Or any car with non-electric assisted steering??

  • cuz a lot of people nowadays DON'T know how to drive manual or too lazy to drive stick.. :( which is stupid cuz stick is the way to go lol

  • Who is this guy? "Mazda have ruined the MX-5." Why, because they offer an automatic for the UK market? The vast, vast majority of people will go for the manual anyway, so why test the automatic and talk about it as if it's the only transmission available? And he contradicts himself at the end by saying the Mk1 offers a "more involving experience" when he's just slagged it off for having no steering feel!
