Which NC Miata is right for you? Everything I learned while buying my NC MX-5

If you have your mind made up, or are just curious about buying a third generation Miata, this video is an amalgamation of everything I learned while shopping for mine. My hope is to compile as much useful information as possible in one place for those who are unsure about which NC Miata is right for them. I’m sure I missed quite a few things to know, so please drop them in the comments for all the perspective buyers and Miata enthusiasts! Quick disclaimer, these nuances are specific to the US market, and will likely not 100% align with the rest of the world.
