The 2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata is more than the sum of its parts

The 2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata brings out pure, joyous nostalgia.

If I look back at the cars that have come through for review over the last fourteen plus years, just about every other year, a Miata/MX-5 makes its way onto the schedule. While that is never a bad thing, at this point, what new is there to say about the MX-5? Miata Is Always The…

Last Call: Monster Truck Miata
|
This week I gave you guys the Woodie Bronco and the Modern Foxbody but what about the monster truck Miata!? This beast is so funny that it actually works.

Add a supercharger to your Miata and… go slower?

Friend of Hooniverse Jason Fenske is supercharging his ND Miata. We showed you the install video recently. Jason and his buddy Charles (the Humble Mechanic) installed the supercharger, flashed the ECU, and now Jason is driving his souped-up, more powerful, faster Miata… except it’s not faster. Somehow, it’s now slower. Before the install, Jason performed…
