1990 Mazda MX5 review from UK and Ireland
"Sweet, very sweet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed new hood which cost $1000.
Interior fading a bit due to exposure to sun.
No further expenses aside from regular upkeep.
General comments?
Absolutely loved it, shouldn't have sold it, but I had to because of moving to the UK. Am looking for another one. The 1.6 engine is not fast, but character full when kept over 4000 RPM. Handling is excellent and the chassis could do with a bit more power. Fairly good mileage, small trunk. Can get a bit rough on long rides though. Poor standard radio.
Very reliable. A hoot to drive.
