A great video for our reference. As i own one of the rivals; the MR2 (mk3) roadster. Facelift 6 speed model. Stock the 1. 8L does 138hp. The current weight is about 1020kg. It has long gearing tho as UK model.
Then i added air intake bolt ons, exhaust bolt ons + an ECU remap by Unichip. Premium fuel. Millers cfs engine oil.
Its running at around 160hp now. I got a 15. 22sec at santapod. (Same time as a 192hp BMW E30 M3 i beleive)
And I think if you did similar mods on the mk2 MX5, it could also get a much better time. Mid 15s at least

Owned a NA, used a NB as a rental when the NA was in the shop, bought a NC because i wanted more luxery and now with fuel prices i want a ND.
But i feel like the NA is the hero car, the NB is the build car, the NC is the track car, and the ND is the best modern car. But the roof opening in closing can be done in like 10 seconds you guys need to practice: D

smh at Brits still calling the NA/NB/NC/ND mk1/2/3/4. It's not a Golf or a WW1 tank, Matt, the generations are not called mk anything. Literally no one in the world outside of the UK calls them that.

Probably the best episode of carwow I've seen so far.
Absolutely enjoyed this, the banter between the 4 of you was hilarious.
Just need to do a car tour episode and we'll be on to a winner.

Brilliant video. Awesome to see Mat thrashing my NB in this video! What a great day! Is the video with mine Vs Mats and the BBR coming out soon? Can't believe you never heard of Skippinish. Hahaha!

The roof test was a reference to the roadster drag race, which was the McLaren roadster, the Mercedes amg roadster, the Audi R8 roadster and the BMW I8 with yanni and Professor green

This was better than any Top Gear races, the drivers all had a really good laugh, and we got to see all the gens of the Mazda MX-5! Carwow is the best! Keep it up, Matt and the team!

The NC looks much better than the girly NB. The NA is of course the nicest. Althought the ND looks good too. But this special model is of course not a fair play with that 184hp.

Great video, roof race was the best though!
However the Mk3 PRHT and the Mk4 RF are always forgotten in the mx5 challenges. would have been good to add them

The MK3 here is the worst looking yes, but Mazda significantly improved it after the face-lift.
The mk3. 5 sport tech is one of the best looking MX5s IMO

please next every rx generation
even with the rx8 both the 190 and 232 hp version try to find a good compression engine for realistic results.

Impressive the modern nd still just over 1000kg. I would have thought they ballooned up more.
The mk2 & 4 are the best looking imo. That nc. oof

There's just something satisfying about manhandling that stiff rod with your hand, some even come with decorative caps & in many shapes.

AS good as it is, I can't like the ND. Looks like a toy car and isn't unique as Fiat use the chasis too. For me, the NC is the best overall

That ND is finally competitive with the S2000 from 2000. And at a reasonable price. Doesn't sound great but hey, can't win them all.
