2004 Mazda MX5 Mazdaspeed review from North America
"Great sportscar for the money!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
Handling is GREAT. I keep up with my friend's 2002 M3 in the curves (although he eats my lunch in the longer straights. The car performs similar to a 944 I once had. It is very predictable and inspires a lot of confidence. I can powerslide through the corners and throttle steer with relative ease. It also recovers well from pushing it too hard.
