Mazda MX-5 1.6i 2d (90) (1991/H) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Good Value if you manage to get one with full history. (this is essential)
Costs
Parts are expensive. Insurance is very expensive on an import. I pay £2400 3rd party fire and theft at 22 with no claims!

On the road
Driving
It handles like a go kart, but light on the back end
Performance
Sprightly, but there is plenty of room for improvement. Starts to fade out after 100mph

Living with it
Reliability
Well it's Japanese! Be careful with your clutch, as these cost from £300 to replace
Image
The guys hate you, but the girls love it and if your a guy, that's what counts isn't it?
Comfort
The seats are comfortable for around 20 miles, then gets quite soar. (leather seat version)

Security
Unless you have a thatcham, this is an open invitation. You may as well leave the keys in! Beware of some inports as there is a spare key under the drivers wheel arch in a black box.
Service
Get a loan if you have thrashed your car!
