The MX-5 is a car that my partner and I have always wanted. So we took the plunge and bought a 5 year old, low mileage 2.0 Miyako folding hardtop roadster. After less than 6 months of ownership she doesn't want anything else. I am inclined to agree. Anyone who is considering buying one stop considering and just do it. Never has a car made me as happy when driving as the little Mazda. I've owned many great driving machines over the years. Alfas, Audis, BMWs, even a Mk1 Golf GTI, but none have been as engaging as the Mazda MX5. It is a truly fantastic drivers car. For those idiots who label it as a hairdressers car you have no idea what you're talking about. The Mazda MX5 is probably the purist form of a sports car money can buy. Perfect weight distribution, sublime steering and handling. A gear change sweeter than sugar and a fizzy engine that spurs you on. Sure you could spend thousands more on a BMW Z4 or a Porsche Boxster and you'll be going a lot faster but trust me you won't be having anymore fun. My other car is a fairly powerful BMW. I love it but when getting out of it and climbing into the MX5 the Beemer feels clumsy and cumbersome. The MX5 makes you feel part of the car. It makes the dullest of journeys exciting. I always judge a car by if it makes you want to go out and buy milk. Sounds crazy but bear with me. You could have a fridge full of the stuff but you just pop out for some more because it's an excuse to go for a drive. The MX5 isn't a practical car although it has a boot big enough for a small shopping trip or a weekend away. What the MX5 is, it's an excuse to enjoy the pleasure of driving an excuse to go out and explore just for the hell of it. It's what cars should be about and it proves you don't need to spend super car money to own a truly super car.
