I can't believe it's been 10 years since the ND....I'm getting old.

I like the wheel offset on this! You two may not like it, but that doesn’t mean EVERYONE feels that way.

I have a 2025 Aero Grey RF with Brembo, BBS, Ricaro and the aero package. Absolutely beautiful!!! Love, love it!!!

The 1995 M Edition was Merlot Mica, which was a beautiful burgundy color.

The 2000 SE (Special Edition) the color was called Mahogany Mica. The color was very close to the Merlot Mica color, at least individually, I have never seen them sit next to each other.

I have a 2023 Soul Red RF Club with the Brembo/Recaro/BBS package, I bought her brand new from a local dealership.

I plan to keep her till the day I quit breathing.

I have owned many small sports cars, and I have never ever said the cabin area was too tight. I always see a sports car as a legal go-kart. I have driven the MG, MGB, Spitfire, TR6, 240Z, Celica, Mustang, Duster 340, BRZ, and all varieties of MX-5. plus. I just bought myself a new 2026 ND3 Soul Red Metallic 6-speed standard with limited-slip differential and Bilstein shocks. Love the cockpit. LOL. I am 71 years old and getting in and out of the cabin as easily as I did in the MG Midget back in the 60's. Great video, guys.

I can’t believe the transmission is still a major liability 11 years later.

Nice to see some "Always Inspired" on the channel. Tom said he had some anxiety over the unveiling of the ND, in part because its the only generation he had nothing to do with but he spoke highly of it.

I still wish the ND came out in the bright red of its predecessors.

p.s. I thought Artisan red would put me to sleep until I saw it in person- very classy

Great to see some ND content on your channel. As an owner of a 2022 ND ST in Soul Crystal Red the styling has aged extremely well in my view. I am not a fan of the RF as it is not a true convertible, more of a targa type. The KPC on the 2022 does help with body roll very well.

My NC1 is a limited edition with 15 sold new in NZ. It's based on the JDM Blaze Edition and similar to the Z-sport in the UK. The colour is similar to this ND 35th and is called Black Cherry/Radiant Ebony colour code 28W.

The slight inset of the wheels, is mainly to stop road crap flying up the sides of the car. I put 20mm spacers on my nc 2 a few weeks after I brought it. John in the uk 🇬🇧

Guys thank you very much for the review of that beautiful ND, I enjoyed the video & you know what I thought?) it's time to widen the boundaries - not only Levin & Trueno are timeless!!🤘😎

It's a shame this model was never available in Germany (Europe?). This color combination looks so elegant.

Beautiful drivers collector car! This last anniversary will skyrocket in price

It reminds me of my old '95 M-Edition Merlot Mica.

@flyfishaholic 5 months ago

I agree with you on the wheels, I got the BBS recaro package and STILL upgraded to 9” Apex wheels. Completely changes the stance even with stock Bilsteins

6:01 Both NA and NB have that color, on the NA it was with the 95 M and with the NB it was the 00 Special Edition, I actually own a 00 SE and its a beautiful color
