2003 Mazda MX5 review from North America
"Love the car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only problem is that when car is run for only a few seconds to move from one part of the driveway to another it does not want to re-start, requires either too much cranking or the need to walk away from it for a couple of hours.
General comments?
Needs a few more horses under the hood.
Handles much better than my old Corvette ragtop, not quite as good as my 3 Series that I put a suspension kit under.
Pure fun.
