...Now here is a review i have been saving!. I bought my 15 year old Mazda MX-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... Read review

Advantages: Speed, looks, handling.
Disadvantages: dealers, power.

...I recently purchased a new mazda mx5 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.

Advantages: Great driving experience, fun & fast!
Disadvantages: none really...only 2 seats but that's part of the charm!

...My partner has a Mx-5, the 1.8i version. It is in British racing green & is a 1996 model so we have the 'pop-up' headlights, a feature which gives the car its individuality. Due to safety concerns, these are not featured on new models which is a shame. We have had the car for 2 1/2 years. it has given no trouble at MOT & has never let us down. We have put almost 30000 miles on it, trouble free. We have invested in a second hand hard-top to preserve the soft top, as it is showing very slight 'cracking' on the passenger side. The hard top is great in winter & as it is white, gives our car a distinctive look. We were going to get it sprayed but everyone says it looks good as it is. The soft top has never leaked & it easy to operate. Now....the driving experience. My own cars have been fairly standard hatchback/saloon cars... Read review
