Had an NB for 10 years Loved it!
Comment from : Doug Harding


Questionable taste
Hate the fact that when anyone drives a miata, you can see down to their butt crack
Comment from : Questionable taste


Dana Williams
One thing I can say about BMW, is when they get the model right, that look lasts for decades The Z3 and Z4 are old cars but STILL look great and could have come out last year If I didnt know better, you could not convince me those BMW Z's are 20+ years old

Bruce Topping
god I wish I fit into the Miata or the Boxster I like being a tall dude, most of the time, but this is one of those times it flat out sucks

Something wrong with that 1zz in the MR2
Comment from : Christian

The MR two is the lightest of the bunch Mid engine Least amount of cargo space keeps away people you don’t want around It is literally a toy Tires matter You can lower it a little bit if you want but you don’t need to Don’t add a bunch of body kit Crap and look like oh boy racer you’re just adding weight A cone air filter is a must The one in the video they complained about the sound of it had a crappy exhaust system Color matters yellow is amazing Black is amazing Red doesn’t look bad and there are some greens and blues that are rare They only made 37,000 of these things in the course of its life They made that many Corvettes in 2001 You’ll have something a little bit scarce and you won’t see yourself coming and going You don’t need two hundred horsepower when you don’t weigh 3500 pounds

That GM is the prettiest car of the lot and with the turbo version is the best of them all

Take a Miata, throw in a 37 Duratec, and pass everything :D
Comment from : WordMan


Andres Rodriguez
I have an 08 350z, best thing ever I love the car Good power good handling Throw on some coilover suspension and some sticky tires and you have a high revving 300hp street monster

Comment from : stringsnare


TomozukiII
I think Nissan still looks tremendously good The overall shape looks like those drawn concept cars out of the paper Same goes for Solstice Germans have always been a bit more reserved when it comes to styling
Comment from : TomozukiII


Jacob Vandenberg
Can I get one
Comment from : Jacob Vandenberg


Samantha Gaboo
I just researched through state of Texas and Oklahoma, hard to grab a "clean" one of any of these cars under 8 But I have a couple leads Also made me inclube NBs, I was only really looking at NC
Comment from : Samantha Gaboo


Samantha Gaboo
Just the video I needed, exactly my price range and what I'm looking for, convertible, 2 seater, manual

RussianRick
I bought a cheap EOS 20T for my daughter and I am feeling a lot of their sentiments It is so much fun to have a little sports car where you can put the top down Having the folding hard top is fantastic I've come close to almost buying a 28 Z3, and I still hope one of those is in my future, but my fun driver right now is a motorcycle
Comment from : RussianRick


XrayBravo
I love my 2003 Boxster S I would only get rid of it for another Boxster I am sold on the Boxster for the rest of my life
Comment from : XrayBravo


Leo Lion
All with the exception of the Miata, are money pits
Comment from : Leo Lion


Richard Zarate
so who knows what road they are at?
Comment from : Richard Zarate


Kang Zau
Cannot speak for Mazda but only one car on the list has designated their car has Classic status and hence parts supply available, not that Stuttgart parts are cheap but the fact that OEM is available, is very important for ownership
Comment from : Kang Zau


M Hyde
I know this video is a year old But is refreshing to watch a car video not geared towards making the car have some insane power number Well done
Comment from : M Hyde


Chris Miles
8 under 8000 On the cars you featured Do you know where the horse power test was taken ? At the drive shaft Or at the differential ? Thank you
Comment from : Chris Miles


No Name

Comment from : Andrew Blewski


kraenk12
Using a 15-20K Boxster as a ‚winner‘ seems kinda weird This car does NOT cost 8000$
Comment from : kraenk12


Bernd Liesenfeld
love it! My wife and I ran a first generation Boxster S for about 9 years ('05 to '14), including through one baby and only had to get rid of it due to baby 2 With the airbag deactivate you can have a kid in the front where they want to be, and a stroller folded into the rear trunk while still driving a sports car In fact, we found that being near a kid was more relaxing for both kid and parent, and she loved the sound and the sky Over about 9 years and almost 100k miles it needed a fuel pump, water pump, plugs, and an occasional exhaust weld, and Oxygen sensor, as well as one new convertible top (FL is hard on everything) Using a non-dealer specialist it was surprisingly reasonable to run, and was loads of fun So our real-life experience was entirely positive and surprisingly affordable (in context of what starts as a 50-80k car)br
Comment from : Bernd Liesenfeld


Lewis
Why no S2000? Hopefully they are not expensive bc I want one… it’s a Honda after all!
Comment from : Lewis


Igor
Ugh went with the Solstice non-turbo try it again with the GXP turbo-version
Comment from : Igor


Seth Ellis
Very entertaining video guys Thanks I was surprised you didn't pick the Z3 to go through as you both raved about it the whole time My dad's first gen Miata is the only one I've driven and it's so fun, but the top of the wind shield is right at my eye line! And when will the S2000 drop to less than 10k? :(
Comment from : Seth Ellis


Rob Hood
Obviously these guys know nothing about the MR2 and its tendency to destroy engines due to precats breaking down Toyota reliability my ass
Comment from : Rob Hood


markriobr
Want to see who got the cars
Comment from : markriobr


Vic C
We all know that with all of these cars, it isn’t the purchase price, but the maintenance and the expected cost of repairs that matter With that in mind, the Boxster, Z3, Z4 and the Benz are nice, but …
Comment from : Vic C


Shigeo
That feeling when you buy 350z 2006 year for 35000$ because of the f*cking taxes here >_> i don't even want to say how much the price for z4 or porshe

You might sneer but the Chevy Cobalt SS is on par with Miata in performance and more horsepower in the supercharged version

Comment from : Joey M

Makelikeatree
Traded the Chrysler Sebring for a NB Miata Traded the Miata for a Jaguar XKR Traded the Jag for an Infinity G37 Traded the infinity for another NB Miata underpowered? Sure Slow off the line? Yep But it is a bulletproof 6 speed go-kart that never fails to make me smile when I drive
Comment from : Makelikeatree


Sam
This needs an update I’m looking for a cheap fun car to learn manual The prices have gone through the roof I see a branded title MR2 for auction already over $8k with 6 days left

Comment from : Monte K


Sco0t Rot0R
The Mazda Miata NC is such a better and more roomy interior car than the NB I test drove and NB and being 6'3" tall, it was like wedging myself into a sardine can! Too small, and my knee was literally 1/2" from the dash Not a nice experienceBUT, when I test drove the NC, it was about 2" more roomy all around, giving me plenty of space I fit great My head never touches the ceiling, nor do my knees even come close to the dash And, IT HAS A TILT STEERING WHEELgiving it even more room and ease of entry/exit The NB isn't available with a tilt wheel With 170hp, it's way more peppy than the NB or NA, and it handles like a dream! It only weighs a few pounds more A 2004 NB weighs 2447lbs, with 142hp and the 2006 NC weighs in at 2498lbs with 170hp They can easily be had for your $8000 price range too I think you would have liked the NC Miata, which came out in 2006, a whole lot better! I sure do

I am glad I got the 2005 350Z because my interior looks in WAAAAY better shape than that 2007 130K miles and still fun to drive
Comment from : Matthew John Vu


treeskier802
Where in the world are they finding cars for the prices they are saying they can be bought for? I can’t find any of these cars at these prices I’m curious what sort of mileage is on the odometer for these
Comment from : treeskier802


og asap
Y’all are the first to say the 350z styling “didn’t age well” and “looks old”
Comment from : og asap


miladoro
Should have gone for the Saturn Sky Redline- that car will supply your 'want' feeling! Turbo 260+ HP and loads of torque with that great handling and super looks Looks like a Ferrari Monza!
Comment from : miladoro


Doug jones
you should have reviewed the saturn sky red line it would kick all the other cars

The up keep and maintenance on these cars will drain your bank account
Comment from : Angel Diaz


Michael Long
Last spring, I bought a 2005 SLK350 To be honest, it was a letdown from the start Interior felt CHEAP (like think 2 seat Sebring), handled rather poorly even after I replaced a LOT of suspension components with OEM, steering was rather lifeless, for a 7 speed automatic it got rather abysmal gas mileage (I mean I wouldn't expect much, but it was awful), ride was harsh, and all the cheap crappy plastics rattled like CRAZY Last fall, I ended up trading it for a 1999 Boxster with a BAD bad clutch (wouldn't even move!) and man, let me tell you, I don't think there's a better decision I could have made It's built FAR better, the steering is ridiculously good, gets better fuel mileage, surprisingly easy to work on (all kinds of access panels and the transmission was shockingly easy to drop and put back), the handling and balance are so good that I'm afraid to find its limit yet it rides far better There are a few drawbacks, though The stereo is awful (the SLK had the Harmon/Kardon system and it was great), needs a 6th ratio, and while I don't care many complain that it's slow So IMO, the Boxster wins hands down between it and the SLK
Comment from : Michael Long


zzzingrol
I love how most of these cars where once in the $36k+ or more price range are now less than $8k
Comment from : zzzingrol


Bellwether Trucking
The key factor for me would be the size of the aftermarket (for cheapness of upgrades) and second most important to me would be popularity (for ease of resale, if I needed to sell it quickly), will it sell quick?
Comment from : Bellwether Trucking


NOT SURE
It's a shame that All of these cars are too small for me I've been inside all of them
Comment from : NOT SURE


Janne Kiljunen
"Mercedes build quality" says the man with hydraulic fluids all over! 😆I'd honestly stay away from BMW or Mercedes Benz unless you do the research, check out the car really well somewhere you can lift it up and see it from underneath and do your due diligence It might be cheap to buy but really expensive to maintain Personally I'm more into Japanese/Korean cars because they are generally more robust and cheaper to maintain, yet can be equally fun
Comment from : Janne Kiljunen


Jim Miller
I wish you'd have used the Solstice GXP instead of the base
Comment from : Jim Miller


David Wilson
Old BMWs are NOT cheap, no mater what the purchase price is The constant repairs are not cheap
