The most beautiful car on the road today ! I'm on my fourth new one in 13 years , I always have the top down , and I'm coming up to 83 years of age . Yes , I could have kept my original one all those years ago , and it would be still fine .

@johntechwriter 4 года назад

To even mention that hideous Mini convertible in the same sentence as the gorgeous MX-5 is sacrilege.

@Corinthian44 3 года назад

Andrea Loi had the 1.5 icon special ND for three years still love it . The kiddie cars are hilarious at lights as they think it’s a requirement to prove their car is quicker . We all know that but I can guarantee they don’t have as much fun I’ve driven plenty of quick cars including lambos and and ferrari both great cars but no fun at legal speeds . The MX is even fun at 30 around mini roundabouts.

@BecauseMiata 5 лет назад

If you're going to get a new MX5, make sure you get the 2019 with 2.0L engine. They raised the horsepower significantly over last years model. You either love the car, or you hate it. I suspect that those who hate the car have never driven one. Yes, they are small and low to the ground...kind of like a big go-cart. Go-carts aren't fast, but they sure do put a smile on your face. Weather permitting...always drive with the top down...because Miata ;)

@Breadlocks 5 лет назад

Try before you buy. If you’re six feet tall or more it might be too tight. And while you’re at it, don’t gain any weight!

@kingtingz41 4 года назад

I had the 1.5 for over a year and 12,000 miles... I loved it! And I’ll certainly get another 👍🏼

@ArtVandelayOfficial Год назад

Yes the updated 2.0 added various forged internal parts and more aggressive cams and tune from the outgoing 1.5

Do you get a free BJ FROM HER WHEN BUY MX5

@leonardmills5003 4 года назад

There isn't a glove box because the centre storage box is the glove box. Is there no room for a jumper behind the seats? If you fold the seats forward, you will find extra storage bins. I have found only one RU-vid review that has notice this.

@floatingpeaks4584 4 года назад

I currently own a 18 plate mx5 2.0 sel nav. Great car but I dont trust it in the wet, had some scary moments lol. In the summer with the roof down, its wonderful, but when the lease runs out this aug I wont be renewing. A few factors, one being the Mazda customer service isnt as customer focused as bmw which is what I have always bought. I'll be going back to bmw and lease a bmw m240i, but now atleast as a petrol head I can tick the mx5 off the bucket list.

Great review. But does the performance and handling change or is it the same for the hardtop version?

@brentrockwood 4 года назад

The hardtop is a bit stiffer, and about 5% slower 0-60 due to it being about 5% heavier.

@m.goodpickle9609 4 года назад

I nearly bought a new Mx-5 because I had a Miata a few years back. I enjoyed the ride, but when I drove the Fiat 124 Spider, it was heads above in ride and styling. After 20,000 miles, I'm still very happy I made the switch!

@paulwarrington1966 3 года назад

What you don't know, if you don't know these cars, is if they are used all year round they rust to death just like the Mk1, 2 and 3 models... (unless you get it professionally treated). None of the reviews mention this. There are several centres around the UK that specialise on Mx5 repairs, welding, and rust proofing... Make sure if you get an Mx5 thats more than a few years old that you don't assume it's ok underneath and in the wheel arches. Plenty of stories and you tube video of these cars rusting badly and failing their Mot's after 5 or 6 years... Watch out.

The concept of this car is the perfect harmony between the driver and the car. I would like to recommend it to women who ride sports cars for the first time. Straightforward handling. Pleasant shift change. Lightweight and nimble driving. An exterior that you can love forever. You can see everything on the scenic winding road in the best weather.
