2001 Mazda MX5 SE review from North America
"A car that keeps teaching you new things"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not a thing that wasn't covered by warranty, recall, or technical service bulletins.
Only replaced the battery (after original was over 4 years old) and a couple of small dashboard light bulbs.
General comments?
Wonderful handling, reliability and ergonomics.
How did they miss not providing a tiny glove compartment light?
Vent windows that open would also be a welcome detail.
Also, maybe someday, a 2+2 model?
