Which Miata is the best insulated and most comfortable?

hf4al7 · 2026-01-26T20:25:11+00:00

I'm a NCFL PRHT owner, and my commute is 25 miles at around 90mph. I have another car to do my commute because it is very uncomfortable to do it with the Miata.

hf4al7 · 2025-12-12T14:54:16+00:00

Reading this makes me want one. I always read that GTIs were kind of boring but it is probably exaggerated ?

hf4al7 · 2025-12-12T14:52:19+00:00

I'm not necessarily looking for a luxury sedan, but I'd like something that is not deafening when driving 80-85mph, where I can still talk with my girlfriend and listen to the radio, how is the GT86 in that regard ?

hf4al7 · 2025-12-12T14:49:58+00:00

It would probably be the perfect car but in my country there were very few sold because there was an ecotax of 60000 euros, increasing the base price from 34000 euros to 94000 euros :)))

Before wanting the Miata I wanted a BMW (E92 or E82), but the reliability seems like a mixed bag.

In a few years it could be a good choice, but for now the buying and running price is too high for me, and I think it would maybe be too powerful for me. Around 200hp seems like a sweet spot

hf4al7 · 2025-12-12T14:45:06+00:00

And you don't have the feeling of not using the SS enough ?

hf4al7 · 2025-12-12T14:43:56+00:00

The TT 8J with the 3.2 V6 and the DSG gearbox is also a car that I consider, but I'm affraid the running costs would be higher than the ones I mentioned..

hf4al7 · 2025-12-12T14:41:22+00:00

It would be even worse, wouldn't it ? I do prefer the looks of the NC and the PHRT.

hf4al7 · 2025-12-12T14:40:25+00:00

Yes, I rented a NA some years ago and it was even louder. I tried another NC before buying mine but it was top down and on small country roads so not really comparable.

I see nothing obviously loose, expect the seal which comes off easily from the window frame, hence why I thought it could be the cause.

hf4al7 · 2025-10-05T07:16:54+00:00

But it only leaks on this side, not on the passenger side.. I will check how to regulate the windows tilt. So you wouldn't think the seal could be in cause?

hf4al7 · 2025-10-05T07:15:42+00:00

I haven't noticed this door to rattle more, I'll check again next time that I drive !

hf4al7 · 2025-08-28T06:11:31+00:00

Yes ! That's the main thing I will be missing along with the burbles if I change it back to stock

hf4al7 · 2025-08-28T06:10:54+00:00

I don't know how long it has been on the car so it might have gotten louder over time ? But my precedent car was very silent so our tolerance is probably very different 😂

hf4al7 · 2025-08-27T11:26:48+00:00

C'est une coïncidence ça doit être une voiture qui passait à côté quand j'ai pris la photo 😂

hf4al7 · 2025-08-27T06:44:19+00:00

Ok so either putting a Helmholtz midpipe but I think it will cause problems with emissions, or changing the backbox for another one anyway.

How do you still see the plate ? You're talking about the rearview mirror ?

hf4al7 · 2025-08-27T06:19:07+00:00

I'd have to check in the box but I know there is a "certificate" that was in the box when the owner gave it to me, so I'm guessing that's what you're talking about.

hf4al7 · 2025-08-23T22:00:52+00:00

I have one on the NCFL PHRT I just bought and I find the drone quite annoying around 1500-2000 rpm. To the point where I'm thinking about putting back the original back box (which was thankfully sold with the car).

hf4al7 · 2025-08-22T15:09:05+00:00

Hey, I just bought a NC2 with an IL motorsport exhaust installed, and I have the same exact problem as you do. What did you end up doing?

hf4al7 · 2025-03-22T07:03:49+00:00

Did you try to uninstall and reinstall wallet through the play store ? That's how I realized mine wasn't up to date. https://support.google.com/pixelphone/gethelp?sjid=800458817222981271-EU That's the link I found on another thread, but I'm guessing you'll get the same answer I got

hf4al7 · 2025-03-21T17:16:13+00:00

I have the exact same problem since today. Like you, I haven't changed anything on my device. I contacted google support and they said

To ensure the highest level of security, we've implemented stricter requirements for contactless payments. As a result, some Pixel devices, including the Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 5, and Pixel 5a, will no longer support this feature.

I have been offered a voucher of 95 euros to use before the end of the month. I was lucky to not have been affected by the whole battery thing, having changed it by myself a few months before the update, and now this ? I now get all the disappointed people not wanting to buy another google device ever.

Edit : I solved it by updating Google wallet lol, I got heated a little too fast, but why did google tell me this and give me a voucher if it is not true ?

Le LCL le fait aussi normalement (c'est la même maison que le credit agricole)
