Harsh or fair?
Harsh or fair?
I've only ever had a brief drive in an MX-5 once but I thought it was quite a decent little car to drive, it's not my thing and I doubt I'd buy one but this seems a little harsh (and the comments seem to agree).........

They are cheap to run unlike the MR2 turbo and of course if you crash one its cheap to repair!!

My wife had one before we had kids. It was great to chuck round corners. The boot wasn't big enough for all the hairdressing equipment though..........

The mex is slow compared to some other cars out there but for the fun factor its great. Sounds like pure evil when you give it some beans and handles like on rails. Im yet to start sorting out the braces/roll bars etc but with the geo done and lowered slightly its so much fun to drive.

Everyone is welcome to their opinions and i know people don't like them. Personally i love mine to bits, never felt this way over the lexus, don't get me wrong i loved the lexus but just wasn't a great driving car.

I've owned an mx5 (standard 1.6 version) and never had so much fun behind the wheel, while they are not the quickest sports car they are great to drive especialy on the B roads (here in the sw there are alot of B roads), I think they are a great affordable sports car. (that is if you are not over 6ft tall).
