The biggest downgrade of our generation
I’ve officially made the BIGGEST downgrade of our generation… or have I? After owning a 2023 BMW M2, I’ve switched to a 2013 Mazda MX-5 (Miata)—a car with way less power, tech, and luxury. But is this the best move I’ve made? In this video, I break down the decision, take the MX-5 for a first drive, and discuss future mods! 🔹 Why I Sold the BMW M2 Let’s be real—owning a high-performance car like the G87 BMW M2 is amazing, but the costs add up FAST. Tires, brakes, insurance… it’s all expensive. The Mazda MX-5 is the opposite: cheap to run, lightweight, and delivers guilt-free fun every time you hit the road! 🔹 Mazda MX-5 Walkaround & Features We check out the 2013 MX-5 NC and its key features, like the limited-slip differential (LSD), roof-down driving experience, and the simple, lightweight design that makes it an enthusiast’s dream. 🔹 First Drive – The Feel of REAL Driving Compared to the M2’s tech-heavy setup, the MX-5 offers hydraulic steering, a proper manual transmission, and a mechanical feel that modern cars just don’t have. I’ll talk about how it drives, the pros and cons, and whether this “downgrade” is actually an upgrade. 🔹 Future Mod Plans for the MX-5 This car won’t stay stock for long! I’ve got plans for: More power – Intake, tune, maybe even forced induction? Exhaust system – Louder, more character! Suspension upgrades – Coilovers, chassis bracing, and better handling New paint & interior refresh – Bringing it back to life If you love Mazda MX-5 mods, budget sports cars, and driving for pure fun, hit that LIKE & SUBSCRIBE button!
