1990 Mazda MX5 review from North America
"Best car ever made!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing! Still has original alternator, water pump, A/C compressor (and freon!), etc., etc.
General comments?
Best car ever made!
Feels like part of your body rolling down the road and in the twisties.
I get up to 35 mpg highway, and 28 lowest in the city.
Unbelievable handling, like the smoothest roller coaster you've ever been on.
