I owned my 1.8i Mazda MX-5 (Mark 2.5 model) for two and half years, but sold it last year when the price of petrol went through the roof. I have to say that it's the best car I've ever owned. Exterior The Mark 2 MX-5 is, in my (slightly biased) opinion, the best looking MX-5 of them all. The newer version (Mark 3), ... Read the complete review

~~~~~~~~~ Background ~~~~~~~~~ We bought a Mazda MX5 as our first ever car in January 2003. Bizarre time to be buying a soft-top car, you might think, but actually quite good from an economic point of view – you'll be one of only a few people looking at these sorts of cars in the ...

The MX5 is the first sports car I have ever owned. I have had several hot hatches (Golf turbo, Puma 1.7), but nothing like this. I did some research before making the purchase, and test drove similar cars such as the Toyota MR2 and Rover MGF. In the end, I chose the MX5 because it offered good performance, plenty of choice on ... Read the complete review

I've been driving my MX5 for over a year and a half now. It's not the fastest car around, neither is it the flashiest or most comfortable. What it is is a good-looking, cheap to run, no worries, fun car. I really don't understand why everybody doesn't buy one. Well, I do. There's some common gripes about ... Read the complete review

I've owned my 1998 new-shape MX-5 1.8i for over a year now so I feel I've gotten over the euphoria that seems to come over anybody who owns a roadster for the first time. Like many people, I lusted over an MX-5 more than a TVR or a Boxster because its great looks and handling don't have a monster price tag to ... Read the complete review

I got one of these as soon as they came out a couple of years ago - managed to jump the waiting list a bit. Being in central London and having a car that nobody had seen before (new model) in June was great. Loads of people stared and a lot smiled. The car still looks great now there are loads of them on the road, but its one of those ... Read the complete review

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) ... Read the complete review

People often see the MX-5 as a sporty little number for the girls. Having spent the last week cruising around, hood down in a period of rare sunshine, I can say that this car is greaaatttt!!!!!!!!! It grips the road like a beauty and has a great little punchy engine that just bursts away at the lights. It also catches the eye and ... Read the complete review
