2007 Mazda MX-5 Miata PRHT Road Test by Edmunds’ Inside Line
You might have thought, as we did, that the world’s most perfect, tidy, eminently usable folding soft top didn’t need to be replaced by a power-operated folding hardtop. Particularly in a simple, elemental car like the Mazda MX-5 Miata, the inevitable added weight and complexity could dull its reflexes and blur its focus. Don’t worry.
@coolerdude44 you obviously know nothing about the weight of an ls1 and the resulting performance increase from doing the swap.
@Tjmomma2 me 2
1:01 The vid screenshot had me thinking that was a spoiler
70 pounds is not bad. Get a skinny girlfriend or loose some weight and you you can get the same perfomance.
nice car!
mx5 is a great car reliable & cheap to own & good gas milage I love it as much I love my rx8 check “rx8 mx5 my sport rides”
@coolerdude44 Some high powered engines are actually super light, GM LS engines come to mind.
@GutarPianoDrumGuy i have a 1990 model, insurance isnt too bad
Great Video
wow, I am looking into buying one, I knew some good stuff, I REALLY did NOT know top down takes 12 seconds, when he said that I litterally blasted a huge sticky load in my pants. why? because even the $70,000 corvette takes 18 seconds,
Hard tops add so much in security as well! That’s huge in todays society with all the unwanteds around.
@peepow123 yeah im 16 too even though my profile says in 40.. something.. but dang.. nice car!
@peepow123 I’m looking into this as my first car as well. Is the insurance higher for this car?
@peepow123 good for you but can i ask how much do you pay for insurance because im planning to do the same
@rainofthepast Personally I prefer the S2000. Still a close second in the miata
@peepow123 I just tell them most men are stupid
@ylism What account are you speaking of?
@justduck1313 I am glad to see your account has been closed. Bye
miata= best womens car ever!
@lawrencelugar7777 I’m 6’3″ mostly leg, I grew out of go carts when I was around 14 so the Miata…..not really gonna work. Not sure what a red American but I’m not insecure. Wife, great career, house, and a kid on the way. You?…..ah thats right your profile says your psycho. Is this self diagnosed or an intimidation thing?
You must be one of those insecure, red Americans.
You’re about all power, no handling or overall quality though.
@lawrencelugar7777 Your an idiot or your boyfriend forced you to do it….either way I feel sorry for you.
BEST roadster EVER!!
Lol, the plastic hardtop breaks and collapses… Poor choice of words!
@bgiber the mx5 doesn’t need more power, 0-60 in 6.9 seconds is pretty quick. and anyway, the car’s not about power it’s about balance.
doing a more powerful version would be going against what this car was designed to do, and it would just become a 370z wannabe.
