It also has all the extras with bose, navi, bt etc.

Will definitely try one out. Only issue is I am tall and didn't really fit in the NC. Let's hope I fit in the ND.

From what I can gather, you can red line the ND at lower gears on the street and still get to keep your license, unlike most p cars.

great car.
Good to hear people with GT3 have the MX5. I guess I am not that crazy to look at one to complement my pedestrian C2S.

People need to drive to understand this car. It is very light. 160HP but calculate power to weight ratio. The steering is phenomenal. I don't know if the new one has electric steering,but mine is superb. It needs a good alignment and tires because it understeers at the limit. At least the NB does...
The engine revs and revs and revs all day without hiccup. You need to keep the revs up at all times,it has no torque down low.
You can take 90 degrees turns at 30 MPH without touching the brakes. LOL!
The chassis is perfect and it has a 50/50 weight distribution.
The manual box is absolutely great!
Just put the top down and you will drive for miles with a smile on your face.
It's the only car Mazda makes that I've ever considered.

local SM champ. he took me for a ride at TH, NEVER touched his brakes, WOT just about everywhere. we were on pavement, on berm, on dirt, mirrors TOUCHING walls. i just dont have that kind of talent. but if i can drive like that, i would have dumped my RS long ago. but i need the 500hp to keep up with his spec miata.
