Key Points

Color Palette

• The color options are not very exciting for such a fun car
• Zircon Sand is new for 2023, but Soul Red is considered the best color

Space and Fit

• Not spacious enough for everyone; limited to people around 5'11" to 6'2"
• Entering the car can be uncomfortable; taller individuals may struggle
• Passenger side is cramped due to a bulge (subwoofer or transmission)
• Cup holder placements are inconvenient, especially with a passenger

Key Fob Issues

• Problems with the key fob not being recognized sometimes
• Requires multiple presses to function
• Remote start available only via the app for automatic versions

Bulbs

• Incandescent bulbs used; prefers LEDs for a 2024 model

Automatic Climate Control

• Fan speed on auto setting always blows at maximum
• Does not slow down, making manual adjustment necessary

Volume Rocker

• Cheap feeling and poorly positioned
• Often mutes music by mistake when trying to adjust volume or skip tracks

Soft Top Noise

• Soft top is loud, especially on highways
• RF version is quieter; Club trim is the loudest
• Necessitates louder phone conversations and music

Summary

• Despite the flaws, the Miata is still the most fun car driven by Q
• No deal breakers; all issues are manageable
• Encourages viewers to consider these points before purchasing

Final Thoughts

• Open invitation for viewers to share their dislikes about the Miata
• Acknowledgment of taller individuals unable to fit in the car
