1990 Mazda MX5 eunos roadster review from UK and Ireland

"Go out and buy one now make sure you get an import and look past the hairdresser comments awesome!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Absolutely nothing apart from a snapped accelerator pedal.

General comments?

My mx5 was fairly tuned and was dyno'd at 163 bhp because of this it was seriously quick and due to the fitment of coil-over suspension and 17" alloys handled perfectly. Although it was shocking on fuel 23mpg max 15 around town I didn't mind as it was amazing fun to drive and astonishingly reliable despite the abuse I gave it. The interior is the usual blend of boring brittle japanese plastic, but with a few chrome trick bits and the addition of some cobra seats was transformed into a nice place to be, but above all everything worked!! I would seriously recommend buying the hard top if you are doing a lot of miles and also it makes the car look like a mini RX7!! and people always asked what it was even a copper once. The only fault I could ever find about the car is that the front bumper is bloody ugly!! but could easily be resolved with an after market body kit. what more can I say the oldest, but the most fun and reliable car I have ever owned. I have bought another one and am planning to fit an SR20 DET engine from a 200sx nissan to make this one even more fun.
