This car isn't about wrestling a monster, through turns and being relieved when you survive, I'm not trying to win a fight, its human being and machine working together.... Richard Hammond
I disagree. The MX 5...at least the manual, LSD version, can be an angry little wasp and a tail happy hooligan. By no means is it kingpin of the road, but it can certainly be a low level thug. Speaking from experience.
It can be whatever you want it to be, that’s why there has been such a massive aftermarket for all of these cars. You can keep it stock or turn it into a Lambo killer, that’s the beauty of it
Not to mention that the Japanese "re-invented" and "re-popularized" the dead british roadsters and literally make the word roadster from a british thing into a japanese thing.
The MX 5 can just sod off. Ive loved the looks of this car for decades. Ive heard people talk about how awesome it drives. So about 20 years ago I decided to one day buy one. So this year I needed a new car. I went to the Mazda Dealership and told them I want a MX5. What have you got? The salesman looks at me with a sort of pained expression on his face and asked me how tall I was. Its 2 metres or just over 6.5 feet. Long story short I cant actually fit behind the steering wheel. Bought a Mazda 3 instead.
Am I stupid, or does he say he went to Humberside to drive it? Doesn't look anything like Humberside to me. If so where is this? As it looks like Majorca to me
Somebody lent one of these to me about 15 years ago for a week in the Yorkshire Dales. It was the most fun car I ever drove. It wasn't quick, it wasn't comfortable, but it was FUN!
@@Nickoboss29 true. I've a 1999 and 2000 models that are restored to factory condition. The comments I've received from others are usually that they look better than the newer models. Those of course the "opinions" of others as well.
