blitz supra Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Mazda seem to go from stength to strength with the MX5 The new hard top is a very pretty car, Shame they still haven't put a decent engine in , and that hard top looks great so you get the best both worlds The interior is straight out of the RX8 so veryretro and the front is much prettier too, Bit steep at £21000 though when you think you can get a decent RX8 starting at that money, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I'd still love one of the first MX5s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eunos Roasters are a great buy now and so cheap and you get leather and Air con, A great little 2 seater summer fun car, You can see why the MX 5 has become the best selling small convertable of all time, Mazda just seem to keep getting it right and not spoiling the original formula. Shame they didn't put the rotary in it, Have seen this done before and it makes a corker although a little lively small 2 seater, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Black Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I think it looks a lot less feminine than previous models, shame about the engine tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 shame about the engine tho. Missing the point of the MX5 if you think the engine is a let down Owned a MK1 for 3.5 yrs now (2 of them) and both have been the 1.6 Eunos, the engine is just perfect for what the MX5 is designed for, chucking the hood down and throwing it about the B roads Appreciate you can chuck a turbo or FI it but spoils it IMO Brilliant wee cars and for very little money you can have a hell of a lot of fun.

No don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking it ... far from it, the MX5is a cracking little car, My mate Turbo'd his, Just a shame they have not moved on with the engine and offer sometime a little different as a special, Anyone who has owned a MX5 will say what great fun they are to drive.... my god the Accessories you can buy for them too ... i'd be bankrupt in a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daston Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 My old man was trying to get me to get one instead of going the Twin turbo route, all I could see is my mates faces when I said "hey guys got me an MX5" think I would be stoned to death.

Thorin Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 New ones have 2L engine now don't they? Should be a bit more torque which they could do with IMO. Don't know how tunable the new engines are though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
