1997 Mazda MX5 review from North America
"Fun with minimal maintainance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed to replace the top at 58,000
The seats wear out on the side edge.
General comments?
This car is great for around town. I have taken it on a couple of road trips and it was noisy. I got a wind screen for between the seats, a good idea for lowering the noise level.
