2000 Mazda MX5 review from UK and Ireland
"Great fun to drive and lovely to look at"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
I love the MX5. The handling is superb and it looks wonderful. Great acceleration from stopped (traffic lights, etc) which is just what you need for getting away from lorries, young lads in Ford Escorts, etc.
With the new model they have improved the suspension, and therefore the comfort, the noise and just about everything else.
This is my 3rd MX5 - which I think says it all!
