2006 Mazda MX5 Touring review from North America
"Better than my 1979 X-1/9 in countless ways"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing. Quality seems outstanding.
General comments?
This is a car for people who like to drive. I find myself taking the long way home, particularly if the road has lots of curves and hills. Very quick, lots of torque at all speeds. It is not a car for a slow relaxing Sunday drive, but rather a vehicle that will demand that you focus on what you are doing and repay that effort with precise performance and excitement. It seems to beg you to rev it higher.
