2007 Mazda MX-5 Miata PRHT vs. Original

Nice job. Great sounding engine. Thumbs up to Mazda.

hey good job on the video. did you guys try to film it like Top Gear? I mean no criticism at all but some of the shots look like shots Top Gear would take/do. good job tho

This video is dead on! I have a 99 Mazda Miata that I bought with 91K miles on it for $7800, and I will run that car into the ground before I get rid of it!!! It is one of the best inexpensive sports cars on the market. The thing people always tell me besides saying I'm gay since I have one, is that it's only a 1.8L I4, but who cares when the car only weighs 1800 lbs. The thing I LOVE about it is that all you have to do is give it gas on a wet road and it drifts like a mother f$&%$er! Cheers!

I'd have like to see those autoX tests done on a dry day when the cars could have gone all out. I'm assuming they ran in the wet so that the suspension negatives of the NC wouldn't be so pronounced.

Actually, we filmed the segment in the wet simply because we're based in Seattle. There are only 2 months of the year that are reliably dry.

Ah. Got it. Thanks for the response.:)

could you tell me what wheels and tyres he has on the original mx5. i want some for mine!

what is it about convertibles that fasinates me?

be a good street car this PRHT, the PRHT is just pimp

I'd say it's a guys car. (Just go to any autocross on Sunday) To make this comparison really interesting; throw a 2005 Mazdaspeed into the mix. I've had Porsches Alfas, a Ferrari and a couple Lotus cars. The original Miata is the closest thing to an Elan. Only thing is the Miata is reliable. I have a '92 with very low miles and I would have to say it is not only a great sports car, but a great car! A boxster is a chick car - not an MX 5.
