Prepare for a comparison between the new 2024 ND3 Miata and Subaru BRZ tS. We discussed the changes, engineering, and set lap times on our spec Bridgestone Potenza Sports. This last-generation affordable sports car is still desirable. Which would you choose: Civic Type R, GR Corolla, Nissan Z, Ford Mustang, Golf R, or Elantra N?

  • We are lucky to still be able to purchase cheap light rwd 2 door cars. Thank you Mazda, Toyota, and Subaru.
  • @jdarms27
    Lol. Dave Coleman talking from the infotainment screen was a nice touch.
  • I got my ND3 club a couple of months ago. I'm finding myself surprised that I don't care at all what tracks faster or what else is out there. This is as fun as driving gets, at any price.
  • @paulpellico3797
    basically, for me, the miata is my safe motorcycle experience. in the olden days, when i wasn't aware of my mortality, i used to ride and slide on my 350 honda. but the last ripped skinned leg made me give this trill up.
  • @dawnpoint
    Mazda's transparency and rationale of engineering are why I've chosen the MX5 above all my other dream cars. Never mind the giggle-inducing way it drives.
  • @tailsneon556
    As someone who has a 2019 ND2 RF Club and a 2024 ND3 RF Club on factory order this video hits home at the perfect time.
  • @RinIwata-br1vz
    I'm buying the RF Miata, the car will live outside so that's why I'm choosing the RF over the soft top. Thank you savagegeeese for helping me decide!!! Love you guys!
  • @Anamnesis
    I don’t even care how much power my ND has. I got it because the top goes down in three seconds with just one hand. 😎
  • @sapphireracing
    Big thank you to Dave Coleman for being so transparent and clear on the chassis engineering changes for the ND3.
  • @karltaht2370
    I love the technical details from Mazda. They really clearly know what they are trying to build for and find ways to achieve that within a limited budget.
  • @kevinclapson
    Basically the most accessible track toy vs the most practical enthusiast car. Great video as always.
  • @svgPhoenix
    I love the creative solution to what I assume was horrible webcam resolution in the interview segment
  • @GrandPotatoe
    That subtle "running in the 90s" song playing in the car is a nice touch.
  • @anAmishGuy
    I agree with Mark. These cars are nice enough, but c'mon, it's 2024. Where's the track comparison of the true drivers' cars, the $100,000, 6000-lb crossover EVs?
  • @JHONNYR98
    Sweet, a break from the mediocre crossovers. Love all the reviews regardless
  • @QLPJosh
    When I think STI, the first thing we think of is the STI start button and gauge cover. Those things are synonymous with the STI brand, and my 4 stacks are sitting idle in my account ready to pounce at any moment.
  • @QLPJosh
    Some days start not so great. Today is not one of those days.
  • @markobrien3278
    Always great to hear from Dave Coleman, who is so forthcoming on Mazda’s thought process. Well done, Mark and Jack, from an NC1 Sport owner (2006).

    🎶 I know who I want to take me home 🎶 Bought a BRZ last year, love it to death. If I didn't need fold-down rear seats, I'd have a soft-top ND. Both such amazing cars.
