I have owned a 'J' Reg MX6 for the past 12 months..65,000 on the clock, no noisy engine, no rattling, a nice interior and boy does it go!!!!! I find a previous opinion from a member quite unbelievable...I can only think he has been very unlucky. Mine has been to the garage once and only for a service. The MX6 was introduced and immediately Ford brought in the Probe as its competition. No match ! The MX6 outperforms and outshines the Probe by far.

Now here is a review i have been saving!.
I bought my 15 year old MazdaMX-5 convertible 6 months ago now, and i have been thinking very hard of what to write here. I decided to start with this...
No review of this car can possible be negative, its just positive in every way.
My MX-5 is the 1.6i Convertible, i bought it stock and have added a few bits on, but il review it firstly, as it was stock, how easy it was to upgrade, and what it is like now..
I actually travelled 100 miles up to London after bidding for the car on ebay, i thought it was a steal at only £900.
For this i got the car as it was, with no CD player or speakers...but it did have power steering (life saver)! The sunroof was new and everything worked fine, including the air conditioning.
So i drove it home at a steady 70mph with no troubles, not even straining ...

Advantages: Fantastic driving experience, cheap to maintain Disadvantages: not very practical
I have now been the proud owner of two MazdaMX-5's and I have to say they have been the most reliable and joyous cars that I have owned thus far.
Do not be fooled by thinking this is a typical hair dressers car, It's NOT! This really is a proper sports car which offers all the frills of a porsche for a fraction of the cost. The MX-5 has near perfect weight distribution combined with rear wheel drive which offers sublime handling and is regarded by many as being one of the best handling cars in the world.
You can pick one of these beauty's up very cheap now, and my advice would be to wait for winter to kick in as you will see some excellent examples pop up for less than a thousand pound. In my opinion you can have just as much fun in the mk1 MX-5 as you can the mk2 and pick them up for a lot cheaper too. The styling on the mk1 is a bit ...

Ciao members have rated this car review on average: helpful Review of Mazda MX-5 1.6i
Advantages: Speed, looks, handling. Disadvantages: dealers, power.
I recently purchased a new mazdamx5 1.6i from italy. I found the whole affair very long winded but the result was the best vehicle i have ever owned or driven. It handles perfectly especially with the optional limited slip diff. It could do with having a wee bit more power and a power hood, loosing a couple of pounds would also be an advantage. The leather hugs you in place and the brushed alluminium fasia reminds you of what a beutifull car it is to drive. The bonnet bulge remings you that there are 108 horses under there. Depreciation is slow and fuel bills arent exactly high for this performance car. Silver is definatly the colour to go for but black comes a close secound. This car can be used as a trackday car but is also refined enough to take to the shops or drive around town, the perfect compromise. Dealers in this ...
