1992 Mazda Eunos V-Spec review from UK and Ireland
"Lots of fun, great value and brilliant hood design"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far. I have only had this car for 2 weeks.
General comments?
I bought my Eunos import as it is better value for money compared to the British MX5's. I read many of the reviews on this website and decided it sounded reliable as well as fun!
How true these reviews were. This car is such a fun machine, with its low ride height and snug seats. The tan leather seats and wooden steering wheel and dash bring back memories of older classic cars, but the mechanicals are modern and robust.
The gear change (for those who appreciate such things) is just fantastic, and the steering is light and smooth. Quite a revelation after all my previous front wheel drive hatchbacks! A Very well balanced car.
The hood design is simplicity in itself, and one person can have the top down in half a minute. A brilliant design.
Even with the hood up this car is a little noisier on motorways, but it's not as bad as you may imagine. You honestly adjust to it after about 10 minutes. In any case, this car was designed to be driven with the top down and it shows when you drive it.
I have not had this car long enough to comment on reliability or dealer service.
The Eunos/MX5 is the sort of car that people admire without it being 'flashy'. Perfect for those of us who appreciate a good car, but don't want to be labelled as posey.
If like me you buy one as a result of a review like this, enjoy. Fully recommended.
