Advantages: Looks great

Disadvantages: Boot size

I love my MX-5. It's the first car I've ever owned that leaves me with a smile on my face when I get out of it even if I've been stuck in a traffic jam. Believe it or not, mine's actually a company car - so I don't have any problems with insurance etc. The only bad points that I'm aware of are as follows :
1) Limited boot-space ( even if you remove the spare wheel ).
2) Uncomfortable seats for long journeys.
3) Roof can leak.
4) On older models the plastic rear screen scrathes easily and can lead to being unable to spot the police car following you !
5) Eats exhaust pipes ( 5 in 4 years ) though I've been told that this a peculiarity of my particular car. Odd that Mazda changed the design of the exhaust recently though, or am I just being cynical ?

Good points are :
1) It just looks f***ing great.
2) From 0-60 there isn't an awful lot than can catch it.
3) Girls love it.
4) Predictable when pushed hard into corners.
5) Fantastic value for money.
