1,5 for me. I live in Denmark and at sea level the 1,5 pulls just fine - and revs a lot better than the first 2,0 ..

And you don't want speeding tickets in Denmark (very costly) or even possibly lose your car 😁 (when driving +100% over the speed limit)

Unutterably superb motor with so much charisma. I do love the extra shove of the new 2.0, but the 1.5 is just as appealing to me for different reasons.

I wish we got the option in the US. I love the ND2 engine, it has such a great powerband and sounds amazing with the right exhaust. It's the perfect amount of power for daily driving in the US. On backroads though, it's nearly too much power...you hit 80mph+ pretty easily. The ND2 is properly quick. You can probably enjoy all of the 1.5L by comparison. A 1.5L with a tune would probably be the sweet spot for daily driving & canyon carving.

@@NDEEZMiata Which is the point, but sadly almost everyone is focused on specs and power, and it kills such cars, everything else became lame to drive and is dangerously fast with next to no feel at all. I wish Mazda made a 2+2 based off MX-5 that would be sized like Toyota 86. It would perfect daily toy to enjoy. If they made it a liftback or maybe even "shooting brake"(wagon/hatchback coupe) then even more so.

It's slower but more enjoyable they say. That revviness is charming and little engines at the front are lighter thus better balanced, so I think it works in Britain for drivers who appreciate that.😀

I have the 1.5 and on the UK’s windy country roads it’s plenty powerful enough and handles well. I’ve driven the new Supra on the same roads and it’s impossible to safely use the power of that car.

I have a slightly modified 99 Miata and I love it but I someday want to own a new one but I just wish Mazda would make an option for power hungry Americans. I’ve owned a 475 hp 2018 mustang. A 250 hp Miata would be incredible.

Every time i get a new car i look at the mx5 and never get it, the thing stopping me at the minute is....i want the beefier noise of the 2l, but then they massively improved the 2l in 2019, but they're twice what i was going to pay for the original 1.5. But most people who drive both, prefer the 1.5
