2006 Mazda MX5 3rd Generation review from Australia and New Zealand
"If you love fun cars, you need to buy one.. you won't regret it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None.
General comments?
I have always admired the MX-5 since its first release, and now have purchased my first MX-5 been the 2006 edt. I am extremely happy with the car, performance & comfort wise. I chose this car over the BMW 118i, 320i, Peugeot 407, and a few other luxury cars. I chose the MX-5 with leather pack, as I wanted a Sporty/Luxurious car to have fun with, and this car is certainly the way to go... I am so happy with my purchase and literally smile every time I jump in it for a drive.. The engine's performance is more than I expected as this thing hammers!!
