1990 Mazda MX5 review from UK and Ireland
"Not the fastest car in the world but with handling like that it doesn't need to be"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Battery died, but this is very common due to the fact that it is extremely small. Catalytic converter had to be replaced due to the heat shield corroding on the original. Bought a new one through the owners club. Much cheaper than one from Mazda.
General comments?
Excellent car. Buy one now. The only reason we sold ours was due to the birth of our daughter. These cars have a serious feel good factor. Only thing to make sure of is a full service history and if it's done over 60,000 miles make sure it's had its major service including the cambelt.
