..., he haggled over a discount and fair play he stuck to his guns. But i still came away with something, A 1.8i MX5, Seperate detachable hard top, CD player, Alloy Wheels and Metallic paint all for under £18,000. The car also comes with 3 years warranty, roadside assistance and a anti perforation warranty. Also a great plus was the servoice intervals of 9,000 miles/ 1 year. The car has a top speed approaching 130 mph, and although not the quickest from 0-60 mph it was lower than the MG rover and far more comfortable than the MR2. For information im 6'3" and fit in as snug as a bug. Dont buy it if you play golf as the boot is too small. So to sum up if you want a value for money sports car i would reccomend the MX5 1.8i. 1.6i is fun but the slightly bigger engine makes far more fun HEHE.... Read review

The cabin is surprisingly warm and waterproof and the rear parcelshelf behind the driver can store more luggage than expected. The boot is small, but much larger than the new shape MR2 or the MGF. The plus points of the MX5 are obviously its driving experience. This car handles extremely well. The 1.6 engine is no power house but because you can carry more speed through the corners it always feels like you are going much faster than you are. I added a strut brace and a set of alloys and it improved on the already great handling. It is quite economical. I regularly get nearly 400 miles per tank of petrol. Petrol cost is about £30 to fill (at present prices). Not sure what the mpg is but it has... Read review
