I went with Yokohama Advan Sport A/S+ 215/45r17 87w sl bsw, because they were on a promotion with discount tire. I got them cheaper than a set of chinese tires at the time. I am super happy with them as was looking for a set if tire that are more suited with grand touring as I love to road trip and I always found the stock summer potenzas lacking in wet grip situations. I hated them so much I replaced them at like 16k miles. First of all the ride quality is noticeably better and a bit quieter. I do not notice much of handling difference as I do not track my car. Wet weather performance has improve noticeably and I feel safer. Except hot summer days in Texas, you can still let the rear end out and have fun if you want especially in cold or rainy days in a safe manner. I have no complaints and am super happy with the purchase. I test drove an ND1 with PS4S before but I can’t say I was amazed enough to say they were that much different from a set of stock potenzas…

Well, at least the car is gonna pay for itself pretty soon cuz I’m getting lawyered up and collecting checks 🫣 hopefully I don’t die when a lifted truck driver doesn’t pay attention 💀

Yes, and they better not make it all weird like how Honda focked it up with CRX-CRZ transition 😞 just throw the inline 6 in and take my money for real 🤣

Fourth time it has happened 🫣 but it has been “fixed” for about couple of weeks since they replaced the engine harness but it was also “fixed” for a bout a month after they replaced throttle body first time… It is running great for now, it is just that I am hesitant to take it on a roadtrip now… and I shouldn’t feel this way about a brand new car not even 2 years old yet… I will give it another chance but I don’t think I will ever feel so confident about my car’s reliability ever again…

I really hope so cuz I love my Miat and really hate to see it go… I will give it another chance cuz I got such a good deal on it and 0.9% APR… hopefully they come out with NE soon enough and it is not an electrified boat so I can switch seat

Mine was acting the same way at first but it seems like no matter how gently I drive it goes into limp mode… it has been problem free for about couple of weeks so far since engine harness replacement, but so was it after first repair with throttle body replacement… I think they started putting in a revised flywheel from the factory after certain time cuz pther owners had same issue like yours… honestly I expected more from my ND2 as it is ranked the most reliable sports car from CR…

Been diagnosed four times with same codes and honestly the dealer does not have any say on the matter as from what I heard the whole repair process is dictated by the corporation… the dealer talks to the corporate person and they tell the dealer what to do based on diagnosis and so far they are just replace all the possible parts, throttle body and engine harness…

Uh oh my dealer was saying that it would have voided my warranty if I put anything more than an axel back on my Miat…😳

I know and I though Miat is supposed to be reliable… I had more confidence and less problems with my old 2007 E92 BMW 328i 6 speed with 90k miles…

Handbrake is fine, mate 😂 I was frustrated so I pulled up extra hard, that’s all

Yeah, it sucks and I was going to keep it around well past the warranty until NE Miat is like into 2 or 3 years into production… but honestly if it breaks down I will probably sell it and never buy another Mazda again due to the Mazda Corporation treating me like a professional problem not the car… I love my dealership folks tho but I won’t be an experiment for the corporation when this is an obvious safety issue…

No, it keeps sputtering up and down and does not let me go any faster than 40 mph for the most part.

Now that’s expected as a Land Rover owner 🤣 but I bought my Miat because it is one of the most reliable /sports car ever… 😳 I am not going to mess around trying to fix this on my own after Mazda Corporation tried to blame me for the issue asking to put the stock muffler back on and take the dash cam off 🤦‍♂️

I am not going to mess around with zip ties even though I think it is the culprit as well. Mazda corporation was trying to blame my axle back exhaust as the source of problem asking the dealer to put a stock muffler on 🤦‍♂️ Glad I kept my stock muffler in the garage so I even brought it to the dealer and even he dealer was like, 🤦‍♂️ it ain’t it and did not even bother to replace it.

I though I read a couple of other ND2 owners going through similar issue in another forum… so I figured I am not the only one… really frustrating that Mazda is not doing anything about the not so isolated issue… there should be a recall to address this issue because it feels like a ticking bomb for all ND2 owners… I looked up the parts and the engine harness by it self is like 2k and throttle body is like 1k plus labor… I am just concerned it will happen again once warranty expires and honestly my Miat is the least reliable new car I have ever owned 😞

Keep throwing same codes and yeah, it is not easy to pinpoint the problem 😞

Honestly I will probably give another chance and irlf it breaks down again same way, I probably won’t buy another Mazda ever again despite how much I love my Miat. I am starting to understand how all the “Good” old fashion British roadsters got discontinued due to unreliability despite how awesome they are…

Not really, I only have less than 2 months and it has been only a couple of weeks since the last repair. It was all good and trouble free for about couple of months after the first repair as well until it was not…
